Story here. Excerpt:

'MORRILTON, Ark. — Authorities say the mother whose three young boys drowned when she drove into a central Arkansas lake had been drinking before the accident.

Conway County Sheriff Mike Smith said Friday that 26-year-old Amber Turley was arrested earlier that morning at her parent's house. She has been charged with felony endangerment in the April crash.

Prosecutor Tom Tatum says the alcohol was among several factors that resulted in the charges. It wasn't immediately clear whether Turley had an attorney. She has previously said the crash was an accident.

Smith acknowledged the emotions involved in bringing charges against the mother, but says he was acting on behalf of the children.

Turley has been released on $5,000 bond.'

Presumably he felt bad about doing it?

"Smith acknowledged the emotions involved in bringing charges against the mother, but says he was acting on behalf of the children."

So he felt bad about charging her after her drunken behavior led to the boys' deaths... and for what reason? Released on $5,000 bond? Released???

Unbelievable, but there it is in black and white. Poor Dearism, it seems, knows no limits.

...for a rush of articles portraying her as a victim, same way they did with that woman who killed eight people recently.
