Tragic! Terrible! My heart goes to these kids that their lives have been changed forever. Their mom apparently "forgot" to take her meds and set them in fire. *sigh*

The woman, Alysha Green, 29, had no answer for the fire investigator, Lopez said. "She was crying and saying `I'm sorry' and she didn't know why she did it," Lopez told The Associated Press. The girls - ages 7, 5 and 3 - remained in the burn unit of a Dallas hospital Monday; their conditions were not released. Green, 29, who also was burned and remained hospitalized, was arrested Saturday on three counts of causing serious bodily injury to a child, police said. Each count carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. Greg Donihoo, who pulled the two oldest girls out of the smoke-filled house, said Green told authorities that she coaxed her daughters into the closet by saying they were playing a game. He also said he saw investigators remove a gas can from the house. |

That is really horrible! I feel so sorry for those poor children who trusted that their Mom was just playing a game!
I really hope that somebody intervenes to prevent her from regaining custody of those kids!
Interestingly (but sadly also) was the fact that 4 other Moms from the Texas area have all been let off from punishments even though they have all been heinous crimes against their own children!
