Police: Florida Woman Murdered 8-Year-Old Son on Christmas

Friday, December 26, 2008

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Police have charged a 31-year-old Florida woman with murder after she allegedly smothered her 8-year-old son to death on Christmas.

Police said Eryn Allegra, of Port St. Lucie, gave the boy eight Advil pills to put him to sleep, then early Thursday morning suffocated him with a pillow in a hotel room. Allegra then allegedly tried to slit her wrists, but the blade she used was too dull. Police said she dialed 911 and was taken to a local hospital.

Allegra told investigators she had been having financial problems since August 2007.

1. My mom had very difficult times financially

when raising seven kids on a low-wage office job. She didn't kill us. I'm sure there were times she wanted to kill us but she would just leave the house until she calmed down. We KNEW not to say anything when she was in that kind of mood.

2. We're going to hear more and more of this kind of stuff as the

year progresses. But as I've said on other threads, I have confidence in Obama's trillion dollar stimulus plan. It was said this a.m. by some financial expert, that Obama's plan to throw money at the problem, is not going to work and only make matters worse. He compared the u.s. to Japan, who did the same thing some years ago and regretted it.

3. How many more will die because of the Bush Economy?
