I can't quit thinking about how scared her children must be! While often other family members shelter young kids from the truth and keep them from watching the news, at least one child in this family is likely aware that mom is probably in danger....hoping those children get their mama back.

Rest in peace, Brittney.

Her poor babies! Thank goodness they are with other relatives, and not in danger. (Sigh) I wish that people who can’t/don’t want to control their murderous impulses would stay away from society!
