Have to share stuff like this to balance it out
She tied her two children together in the basement
On 2 March 2012, an EF4 tornado hit Henryville, Indiana. Stephanie Decker had just got home with her kids, Dominic, 8, and Reese, 5.
She took them to the basement, tied them together in a blanket so the wind could not pull them apart, and lay on top of them. The house came down. Debris crushed her legs.
One was amputated above the knee, the other above the ankle. Both children came out without a scratch.
When the noise stopped, Dominic ran to a neighbor for help.
She later typed the account from her hospital bed because she could not yet speak clearly. Her husband told her the only thing that mattered was that she would see them grow up.
That is the story. She did not tie them up to hurt them. She tied them to her so the tornado could not take them. ❤️

My son asked me a weird question when he entered high school:
"Can you tell all my friends that you drug test me randomly?"
I looked at him and said, "I don't drug test you."
He smiled and said, "I know. But if they think you’re a psycho who tests me every Sunday, I can say no to everything at parties without getting roasted. I just blame you."
Now, whenever someone hands him something stupid, he hits them with:
"Bro, I can't. My dad is an absolute lunatic, he tests me every week and he'll take my car for a year."
Done. Zero peer pressure. Zero lost street cred.
Parents: be the villain in their stories.
Give them the excuse they need to stay clean without feeling like an outcast.

MOTIVE? Getting rid of word mother? Artificial wombs? Trying to get into the houses of newborns to implement other thing? Stop acting like women are crazy! This ISNT good. It’s like popularizing every domestic violence case against women so we stop having male presidents

Been noticing this stuff for years. It’s just being popularized in media. Now start popularizing stories of men killing women, that’s happening, where are they all? The media is doing to women what they do to black people, they’re putting tunnel vision on the crimes. Motive
🚨TEXAS HORROR🚨: WAXAHACHIE MOTHER ACCUSED OF FATALLY SHOOTING HER TWO SONS - INCLUDING A 15-YEAR-OLD WHO HAD JUST CELEBRATED HIS BIRTHDAY
A North Texas mother is behind bars facing two counts of capital murder after authorities say she shot both of her sons inside their Waxahachie home in the middle of the night.
The victims were 21-year-old Christopher Scott Pitre and his younger brother, 15-year-old Brian Joseph Pitre.
According to the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched at approximately 0413 on Thursday, October 1, 2026, to a residence in the 900 block of Big Sky Drive in Waxahachie after a 911 call reporting an unknown emergency.
Additional reporting citing the affidavit says the call initially came in as a 911 hang-up.
When dispatch reportedly called back, a woman said that “all units were needed,” but would not explain exactly what was happening before the call disconnected again.
When deputies arrived at the residence, they reportedly heard a woman inside yelling for additional units and telling deputies there was a gun.
According to reporting on the search-warrant affidavit, deputies encountered 42-year-old Colleen Nichole Lemmon, the mother of both boys.
Lemmon had blood on her hands and body, and investigators found a handgun nearby. She also had injuries to her wrists that investigators described as apparently self-inflicted and not life-threatening.
When deputies questioned her about the blood, Lemmon made a direct admission.
According to the affidavit, she told them:
“I shot both of my kids.”
She then directed deputies toward the bedrooms.
Inside one bedroom, deputies found Christopher Scott Pitre, 21, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a separate bedroom, deputies found his 15-year-old brother, also suffering from a gunshot wound. The younger boy was still alive.
He was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition, but despite efforts to save him, he later died from his injuries.
The family has since identified him as Brian Joseph Pitre.
Brian was born September 27, 2011.
He had turned 15 years old just FOUR DAYS before he was killed.
His father, Scott Pitre, told local media that Brian had just celebrated his birthday and that he had spent time with his son at the lake only days before the shooting.
Now, instead of celebrating his 15th year of life, his family is preparing to bury him alongside his older brother.
Funeral-home records show that Brian and Christopher are scheduled to have graveside services at 1100. on Friday, October 9, at Ferris Memorial Park North in Ferris, Texas.
Full obituaries for the brothers had not yet been published at the time of this report.
After the shooting, Lemmon was taken to Baylor Scott & White in Waxahachie for treatment of injuries authorities described as non-life-threatening.
After she was medically released, she was transported to the Wayne McCollum Detention Center in Ellis County. She has now been charged with two counts of capital murder.
More recent reporting lists her bond at $2.5 million.
The Ellis County Sheriff’s Office says evidence recovered during the investigation gave detectives probable cause to believe Lemmon was responsible for shooting both sons.
Sheriff Brad Norman issued a statement following the deaths:
“My deepest sympathies go out to the victims’ father, family members, and loved ones involved in this tragic incident. They will remain in our prayers during this difficult time.”
The boys’ father has been notified of both deaths.
It’s worth noting that this is the THIRD story I have found today of a mother killing her own children. I don’t understand what is happening.

My husband and I were talking about how, in divorce, the parent who gets less time with their child can slowly lose influence.
Then, I realized how similar this can be to public school.
You may not want to hand over that much of your child’s formative time, but five days a week, year after year, someone else has more time to shape how they think, what they believe, what they value, and how they see the world.
Time creates influence. And over time some people lose their child, they lose influence, because someone else had more time with them.

I cannot believe men are actually falling for attacking women and can’t see behind the curtain. I would have thought they would have defended women…. NOT! They are clueless here! Way to go! They don’t want the word mother and want artificial wombs and prob house checks! Hello!
I am very confused about the recent conservative push to make it seem like women are killing their children because of tik-tok.
I’m just not exactly sure what we’re doing here outside of trying to magnify exceedingly rare cases of filicide which (and please correct me if I’m wrong) are statistically more likely to be executed by men?

I was trying to warn on this!! The amount of sugar needs to be tested…. I bet it’s insane for the weight of the baby! Imagine corn syrup and gmo’s and pesticides every feeding of a small babies first year of life mixed with vaccine= childhood cancer! Throw in smart devices too!
Formula should add sugar content, and ban corn syrup! Cancer much? replace neosure for preemies . I had preemie twins and I don’t make enough milk for two, I have to supplement with organic Bobbie, I rejected the neosure trash. Their weight went from >1 to 60/75 percentile 3mnth

We had preemie twins. Even though I breastfed, preemies are told to take 2 bottles of neosure for extra “calories”, calcium and phosphorus. Neosure has heavy metals and corn syrup! I realized right away the sugar content was missing, but found out it was ALOT. Used Bobbie then

It’s weird how I’ve never heard an AI talk about wiping out large swaths of humanity, but I have heard certain people do that repeatedly over the years almost as if it’s their niche pet topic.

I think she did it in a fit of sleep deprivation and psychosis but was fueled by trying to get back at her husband for something, maybe cheating. Death penalty, but still think this was preventable! The face is spite even with her guilt.

On the bright side, as part of MAHA, there are efforts to end the requirement that baby formula contains seed oils. There’s talk of fixing this, which is a huge issue for health.

The more kids you have, or in my case, a large set of multiples, the more you understand about DNA and how people are born.
Yeah, you raise them to shape them, but they do come with certain things already there. Good or bad. You can nurture it, guide it, correct it and encourage it, but you are not starting with a blank slate.
Some are unlucky and received all the worse traits of everyone, and some are lucky are received the best traits of everyone in the past.
Genetics always win.
For me, the triplets are the perfect example. They’ve been raised the exact same way, together, every second of the day, and yet there are certain things in each of them that were just there from the beginning. Certain traits, personalities, tendencies and ways of reacting to the world that you simply cannot explain by how they were raised.
Countless times we’ll be sitting there saying, “Oh, this child is just like Grandpa,” or “This one is just like Grandma,” or “This child is exactly like my brother or sister.” When you see those patterns enough, you start paying attention. You start recognizing what may be coming before it fully shows itself.
When we see something good, we run with it. We nurture it and help it grow. When we see something that isn’t so good, that’s when we step in and try to break the pattern, redirect it or shape it into something better.
That’s where I think understanding genetics actually makes parenting easier and less stressful. You stop thinking everything your child does is because you did something right or wrong. You start understanding the person who showed up in front of you and parenting that individual child.
And I do think this is something people with one or two kids may not fully understand. When you have several children, especially multiples being raised side by side, you get a front row seat to it.
Same parents, same house, same rules, same love, same upbringing, and yet completely different people.
Genetics is a thing.
Part 2 is where it gets uncomfortable.
