Adamiria told an emergency worker that she and her sisters were playing in her bedroom about 11:30 a.m. when their mother came in and asked whether they wanted to play a game. Alysha Green told her daughters to get into a closet and wait. Moments later, she opened the closet door and threw a burning shirt on the children, the affidavit says.

I will never understand how someone pissed at their husband would take things out on the kids, especially something like that! Heck, they're HER kids, too! I wouldn't advocate setting the husband on fire, but heck, take out your anger on the person you are angry with!

The woman is obviously sick. That doesn't excuse her actions. Only a sick person could do such a thing.

Sounds like another Andrea Yates. I can't friggin believe she would do that to the children because she was mad at her husband. I don't advocate burning him either, but that would at least make more sense. :mad:

Why can't people just DIVORCE when they are mad at their spouse? I am so sick of hearing about people trying to kill each other or their children over their anger.
