Mom Charged With Killing Girl With Bleach



BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A woman angry with her 12-year-old daughter for having sex forced the girl to drink bleach and sat on her until the child died, a police detective said.

The girl's 9-year-old brother was forced to watch the attack, Detective Warren Cotton testified Thursday in a preliminary hearing for Tunisia Archie, 31.

Archie is charged with capital murder in the asphyxiation death of her daughter Jasmine. If convicted, she could be sentenced to death or life in prison without parole.

Cotton said Archie, who has been jailed without bond since shortly after her daughter's Nov. 26 death, told authorities she was disturbed because ``her daughter told her that she was no longer a virgin.''


She said she poured bleach into Jasmine's mouth and the child vomited, he said, then sat on her until she stopped breathing, Cotton testified.


Archie forced Jasmine's 9-year-old brother Jacorey to watch the attack and ``told him that if he shed a tear that she was going to kill him, too,'' Cotton testified.

Damn red states . . .

OMFG

wow. that is tragic

It's more that than. The woman is sick.

:rolleyes:
Anyway...this is so horrible! The woman obviously needs psychiatric help. My heart really goes out to the brother, more than anyone else. I can't even imagine a 9 year old trying to deal with the situation! I wonder if he contacted the police or if it was someone else. I hope that he gets into counseling very soon and that is someplace where he feels safe.

My heart breaks for the surviving child. :( I hope the jury gives her what she so richly deserves (yes, I hope the heffa frys!)

What she said!

how unbelievably sad...

Once further investigation is done into this sick woman, we will no doubt find out that she was an abusive parent.

May justice be served.

Amen! I like to think there is a special place in hell for people like this.

Damn red states . . .




Ummmmm, yeah, what does that have to do with a sick lady who killed her child, like that has never taken place in a blue state?? If I am remembering correctly didn't Jon Bennet(sp) Ramsey live in Michigan and is that not a blue state???

How can someone do this to a child, any child???? Especially her own? :(

As someone from Arkansas (yep, a red state, although I think it's a shame that the red/blue thing was even brought up as a generalization about this kind of act) I am appalled. This is horrible. *Steps on soapbox* This parent was obviously lacking in moral judgement, and should never have had children in the first place. She could have taught her daughter enough morals to not have sex at 12 years old, rather than killing her when she did. WOW...that's horrible. I hope the brother recovers from this tragedy, and I hope she is punished accordingly.
