No one intervened? I'm sorry, but a pool skimmer pole up side her head would have taken that smile off her face, and I'm betting she would have turned loose of those babies! moo

Yes, absolutely agree that the powers that be should up the charges to attempted murder -- there were the words "attempted to drown" in news reports, FWIW. There were witnesses that saw what she did.
Just glad that the children survived and that the mother is away from them.
