      Let me get this straight: God told her to cut off both her childs arms and then her own. Ever the good christian, she had no qualms about killing her child after being told so. However, afterwards she just kinda sat there until police arrived and didn’t even try to cut off her own arms?

            I have no idea how bad the backlash was on either of those 2 outside what I read on the wiki page, but it seems like the father was halfway responsible for the outcome, yet he just had to have his sister live with them for a bit to regain his children? I have no idea how beating your wife would ever be ok for him to not lose his rights also. His decision making skills also suck…
