Woman Throws Two Sons from Highway Overpass
It's sad. This tragic act happened in Dallas, and I didn't see a lick of it on any national news outlets. If the genders were reversed, well... remember the bloke who threw his kids out of the hotel window a few years back? Of course. It made international news. This is just a snippet in an archive on the NBC affiliate. Excerpt:
'Police said Busby was headed to a friend's home with her parents and stopped for gas when an argument broke out and, while her father was paying for gas, she walked over to the bridge and threw the children onto the interstate before jumping, Lt. C.L. Williams said in a Wednesday morning news conference.
"It appears the children were trying to stave being thrown over the edge, but they were overpowered by their mother," he said.
Busby's father had to make a U-turn to follow her in the car, but by the time he drove up, she "had picked up the kids and thrown herself over," Dallas police spokesman Sgt. Gil Cerda said.
"She was not fleeing for her safety," Cerda said. "She just threw them over and decided to throw herself over."'
