Whatever Mother Says... : A True Story of a Mother, Madness and Murder (St. Martin's True Crime Library)
Whatever Mother Says A True Story of a Mother Madness and Murder – St. Martin’s True Crime Library
Author: Wensley Clarkson
To neighbors, she was the brave single mother… — Raising her five kids alone in a rundown section of Sacramento, Theresa Cross Knorr seemed like the ultimate survivor. But her youngest daughter, 16-year-old Terry, told police another story: one almost too terrible to believe. — But accused of imprisoning her children in a house of horrors… — According to Terry, Theresa-no longer the petite brunette she once was-had turned insanely jealous of her pretty eldest daughters and enlisted the help of her two teenaged sons in a vicious campaign against their sisters.

Of beating, torturing and killing her own flesh and blood…

Terry’s gruesome tale told how Theresa had drugged, handcuffed and shot 16-year-old Suesan, allowing her wounds to fester, until the day she ordered her sons to burn their sister alive. Next, Terry said Theresa severely beat 20-year-old Sheila and then locked her in a stifling broom closet, so that when the girl finally starved to death, her brothers dumped her body in the same desolate mountain range where they had cremated Suesan.

She could be one of the most evil murderesses of our time…

It took Terry five agonizing years to convince authorities to investigate her grisly accounts of burning flesh, starvation and torture…of a mother from hell, so sadistic and so deranged, she had become her children’s own executioner.  « less

Catholic Church Liable for Abuse

Posted by Sandra On November - 8 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

A high court judge rules that the Catholic church is legally responsible for priests charged with child abuse, in a landmark case.

The ruling, which has far-reaching consequences, now means that victims of abuse can sue the church itself, rather than being forced to pursue the individual priests. The Catholic church has always argued that it is not “vicariously liable” for the actions of priests. In a three-day hearing in July before Mr Justice Alastair MacDuff, the church argued that priests are not employees.

By: Vicki Polan

For many families in the United States who celebrate Thanksgiving, it is time of year filled with wonderful memories of families getting together. Thanksgiving (like any other holiday) often mean that families get together, routines are changed, and there is also the added stress of cleaning and preparing meals. These issues alone can be extremely stress-producing. Unfortunately the reality is that there are parents who are already inclined to use their children as an outlet for emotions and urges, and they are more likely to do so when under the pressure of increased anxiety.
