Philippines: Mother kills daughters, police cite 'poverty' as cause
Submitted by anthony on Thu, 2008-09-11 01:11
Story here. Notice how 'poverty' was the culprit. Apparently dad failed to provide for the family. Excerpt:
'MANILA, Philippines — Police say poverty apparently has driven a jobless woman in the Philippines to kill her three young children and herself by getting them to drink toilet cleaner before she also took some.
...
Police say her husband, a construction worker in Manila, had not sent money for a month.'

So, what else is new?
The guy will get 20 years for the four murders he committed, and 200 years for failure to pay one months' child support. To run consecutively, of course.

Ya! Blame the Dad!
It's interesting how after they mention how the mother was responsible for the deaths, they quickly go on to vilify the father for not sending money for a month. Just more evidence of the anti-male attitude of the media.
