She probably had a sub-prime loan too.

something obviously caused this woman to snap... you don't go from being approved to adopt three special needs children to beating them to death, locking the dead ones in the freezer and the living on in the house. this woman is lucid enough to admit to her crimes? what happened here? was there any follow-up by a case worker?

Ramrodlevity, it's because gay people caring about children for reasons other than wanting to molest them is unnatural, whereas freezing the bodies of your children is totally norma... oh wait.

how is it that a monster like this can adopt multiple children, when I have gay friends in committed stable relationships who have spent thousands of dollars and years of effort trying just to adopt one child?

This maxes out the horrible scale. I wonder if the parents of the adopted children she abused and killed will ever learn what became of them.

I don't even have words for how sad and horrified this makes me.

Just a pity... I have to admit however when i first saw this photo i thought that she was a corpse, then i realized that she was the murderer. Thats when i got angry...

Between this story and the economic meltdown, I do believe I have finally lost the will to live.

Either Jacks pleaded NOT guilty and awaits trial, or pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing. There is no need for a trial with a guilty plea.

if only the talented Divine were still alive, he'd be a dead ringer to play this monster!

please, if she let her children suffer horribly, she should too. if she put her children in a freezer while they were still alive, then execute this woman. i'm TOTALLY opposed to the death penalty, but christ, this is worse than banita jacks. i mean, this woman was pathological enough to freeze her children! disgusting.

The eyes say no, but the come-hither smile says yes.

This, on the other hand... I have no words.

Now, before you go and adopt a second or third child, you will have to check a little box on a form that says "I have not frozen, pickled, smoked, salt-cured, brined, flambeed, deep-fried, or otherwise treated my existing adopted children like a Thanksgiving turkey." Mark my words. That's just how bureaucracy works. This makes me miss Philly--at least the child abuse stories up there were amusing, and usually involved duct tape or wine coolers. This, on the other hand, is just depressing.
