I'm updating some articles on the history of religion in individual states. Can you help me with this list?
Q. Andrea Yates, Houston Texas, 2001. Drowned her 5 children. The reason she gave was that her children weren't righteous and were doomed to Hell. Dena Schlosser, Plano Texas, 2004. Amputated her baby's arms with a knife and offered her to God, as she believed God had commanded her to do. Blaine Milam & Jessica Carson, Rusk County Texas, 2008. Told police Carson s 13 month old daughter was possessed and they tried to exorcise the demons out of her by beating her with a hammer and biting her. Jan David Clark, Odessa Texas, 2008. Said he was holding his 59 year-old wife face-down on the floor during an exorcism when the devil entered his body and caused her to die. Otty Sanchez, San Antonio Texas, Today. Told authorities that the devil made… [cont.]

A. Looks like there is a lot more insane people in Texas. I'll take note of that, thanks. (Actually I was looking at the pictures of Otty's little son and I can't imagine someone doing what she did. It broke my heart.) I need to edit to add: this shows more of a huge gaping hole in the maternity care system in this country. In England Nurses come around to your house every day for weeks to assist in baby care and make sure you dont have the baby-blues. Much less post-partum psychosis.

help me with my life please?
Q. okay I know this is alot... I am 15 years old turning 16 next week. In the past year I have moved exactly 11 times. From Jacksonville Texas to Norman, Oklahoma to Arlington, Tx and all throughout that the triangle those three citys make. My parents divorced and my dad dragged me threw it big time. After we moved back in the same house as him we left to Oklahoma. Then he was threatening to sell the house and they had the whole divorce thing going on and my mom thought it would be smart to move closer incase she needed to act. So after we moved in he got really mad put a restraining order on my mom and that forced us to move out into a small bathroom sized camper. We lived there for about three weeks then my mom got mad and after we tried… [cont.]

A. What do you have to lose by giving him another chance? You're only 16, so I don't think you have too much material posessions or time to give him, but if you can fix the relationship, it'd be a win-win solution. Ease in with the trust though. Just remember - once your dad, always your dad.

Why do people think that it's okay to hurt cats? Why don't they stop people that hurt animals?
Q. Peta rallies supporters to demand charges against juvenile in cat shooting county prosecutor silent on charges despite mound of evidence. PETA Warns That 13-Year-01d Could Pose Serious Risk to Community. In Alto, Texas after a 13-ycarold Alto boy reportedly admitted to the January 4 fatal shooting of a cat on the animal's family's property and an ensuing investigation turned up further evidence of the crime. PETA wrote to Cherokee County Attorney Craig Caldwell urging him to file felony cruelty-to-animals charges against the boy in accordance with the Texas Penal Code. In his reply, Caldwcll stated that because the suspect is a juvenile, Caldwell could not release records and files on the case-despite the fact that PETA was only… [cont.]

A. No one in the above article think that it's okay to hurt cats. No one here NOR all the other answers to your repeated same question said it is ok to hurt cats (or animals in general). This question is not a question at all but an article with request for a petition to write to PETA or Craig Caldwell. Please if you want to ask a question - ASK. Don't use it to propogate PETA's ideas.
