Story here. Excerpt:
'MAGNOLIA, TX (KTRK) -- A Montgomery County child was in the hospital in critical condition Saturday night and his mother was behind bars after authorities say she attacked him.
Magnolia police were called to a home in the 100 block of Roy Street near F.M. 1488 just after midnight for a welfare check on a child.
According to police, the child's father called 911 after he returned home and found his son covered in blood and unresponsive.
When authorities arrived, five-year-old Michael Spurlock was lying on the living room floor.
According to investigators, the child's throat had multiple lacerations and was sliced from one side to the other. Officials said he also had a crushed chest and severe head injury.
...
Beverly Latham heard that her sister claimed she was trying to rid her son of demons, but Latham said that's uncharacteristic of her sister.
"I know my sister would never hurt her children," Latham said. "Never."
Even a family friend -- Mary Smith, who raised her children alongside Spurlock's -- says police have the wrong person.
Smith said authorities need to investigate what happened between Spurlock and her husband, David, before Michael was found in that near-death state.
...
Together, as they pray for Michael's recovery, Spurlock's family is searching for a lawyer to help them fill in the blanks left open by police.
They admit they don't know exactly what happened in that home overnight, but they say they're willing to do whatever it takes to find out.'

The power of nymphotropism
'"I know my sister would never hurt her children," Latham said. "Never."'
Amazing. Even under the given circumstances, somehow, it still has to be the dad's fault and the mom could just "never hurt her children." Granted, it's hard for family members to accept that their brother/sister/father/mother is a) nuts and b) a murderer or c) some of both but the attitude is found all over the place. Mom did something bad? Must be dad's fault. You see it all the time coming from people unrelated to those involved.
