The mother of a 9-year-old girl was charged with murder Tuesday after the child was apparently strangled while the two were alone in their southeast Houston apartment, police said.

Police said Deandra Evans was injured late Monday while she was home with her mother, Demetria Evans, 34. The child was taken to Texas Children's Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

2. I Probably Would Have Ended Up a Murder-Suicide
I think it's kinda hard to strangle yourself.

6. What a tragic story...
Can people be detained in hospital for their own or other people's safety under US laws?

7. You misunderstand
This was posted because we are somehow supposed to be convinced that there aren't too many guns and not enough controls in the US by this tragedy.

Aren't you convinced now that assault rifles ought to be on the street and that gun shows ought to be able to sell gunns without background checks? Haven't you been persuaded that gun owners ought not to be licensed and guns registered?

Me neither.
