Man Throws Children off Bridge

[fuzzis]

Man Says He Threw Tots off Bridge (http://www.al.com/news/press-register/index.ssf?/base/news/1199873789273260.xml&coll=3)

...Authorities launched a search Tuesday evening of the waters near the bridge, using boats and a helicopter. Although bad weather later forced them to stop, they planned to continue the search today, officials said.

Lt. Richard Cayton with the Sheriff's office said no signs of the children were discovered after several hours of searching the waters between the mainland of south Mobile County and Dauphin Island.

Bayou La Batre Police Chief John Joyner said Luong had reported his children missing on Monday, claiming that a woman who had his kids had not returned them.

Investigators determined that story to be false, and when police questioned Luong on Tuesday afternoon, he confessed to the slayings, Joyner said.

Luong told police that he threw his four young children from the bridge to Dauphin Island on Alabama 193, sometime Monday morning, Joyner said. ...

That's how my dad taught me to swim. They gotta learn sometime.
(Some will laugh. Some will get really pissed!)

I'm told I was taught that same way, but I'm not sure I believe it. I don't remember it (I don't remember a lot about those years), but while Grandpa could have been that mean to his kids and his nieces and nephews, I refuse to believe he was that mean to me, his only beloved grand-daughter.

I also wasn't 3 months old. (the age of the youngest...the oldest was 3) :smt086

I want to cry, but I'm at work. People like this are just plaint evil.

[ComputerDude]

If he didn't want his kids, I would have taken them.
This story makes me sick.

[dollfus46]

I hear that's the way country folk did it. I took lessons at USM's (Mississippi Southern College) swimming pool. It was right behind the football stadium at the time. They were The Southerners back then, not the Eagles

If anyone deserves to be shot without a trial, it's this dude. Just shoot the bastard right now, where he stands.:icon_shoo

[jojobeans1120]

OMG, this is horrible. I immediately grabbed Abigail,and held her as tight as I possibly could for about five minutes, before I was able to respond.... :cry::cry:

I think that shooting him would be too easy....needs slow and painful

[jojobeans1120]

Amen!!! :clap::clap::clap:

Heh heh heh. Waterboard his ass for awhile then actually let him drown.:clap:

[mybabysmomma]

I'm stuck at work and my li'l man's at school. I could definitely use a hug from him right about now.

[dollfus46]

Amen!!! :clap::clap::clap:

This is a perfect example of why we need the death penalty.

While working at St Michaels a woman took her 15 year old son and took him to DHS and told them my boyfriend gave me an ultimatum... Him or me? So I am giving you my son...
He showed up at our school full of anger as you can imagine... At the time I thought she was the lowest of the low lifes... After reading this story I find now that maybe she did her son a favor... I know she did him a favor!!! He was a very smart young man too. I had him replacing network cards and various other things.
It is a shame someone commits such a horrible crime like this... There are so many options available and none of them would have involved injury, death, or prison sentence...

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

dixie your story reminds me of a teacher at Petal High who has an amazing story about his life. His mom chose his step dad over him and he moved out lived in the gym of the school had odd end jobs still continued to pay his moms house note even though he didn't live there. My daughter told me the story some time aga and I was amazed.
Personally, me as a mother of two there is nothing I wouldn't do for my two. I will protect and fight for my children as long as I am alive. I could not imagine killing my children nor taking a man over them.
It is so sad that people who want to have kids and would be great parents that can't and then there those that are parents who shouldn't be allowed to breed!

[Bubba]

I saw that this morning. How awful.

[TheStereoGuy]

Ok, so do him the same way, throw him off the same bridge, with a noose around his neck.

[mybabysmomma]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. For some crimes (such as these) we need to go "old-school", take a page from Biblical times and just stone the scum to death. Then part of me thinks "man, death is too good for them." Of course there's also the "after Life" that they have to contend with. That's probably a fate worse than death, so lets send them on via the express line!

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

maybe he should be put in a room with pictures of all the kids plastered like wallpaper a picture of the bridge he threw them off and just let it drive him insane

[mybabysmomma]

I doubt it would faze him. To hurt children you have to be a special breed of evil. We could always put him in a lonely cell at the very back of some basement and forget about him.

[Ted]

. . . . . To hurt children you have to be a special breed of evil. . . . . . Evil. Yes. That's Exactly the keyword that came to my mind as I read through this thread.

[Hermione]

This was one of those news stories I'm very, very sorry I read. It made me sick all day.

[Conveyor Belt]

I wish we could change the headline. This shit pisses me off. I can't help to imagine what it was like, and that pisses me off more. **** that guy. Give him to me. He'll ****ing wish he could die.

I hope he gets sent to general population in prison and those guys **** him up daily.

I hope he doesn't pull an Andrea Yates...

[Scarlett O'Hara]

Does anybody know anything about the mother?

[thrillseeker]

I think that shooting him would be too easy....needs slow and painful

we need to strap his left side of the body to an 18 wheeler and then strap the right side of his body to another 18 wheeler and have them start driving. That would be SLOW and very PAINFUL. :smt073

This is a perfect example of why we need the death penalty.

Or, a perfect example of how we need broader mental health help for everyone, and not just the people who can afford private psychiatric help nor the people whom the welfare system covers for nothing (other than taxpayer money, of course).

Unless this man just snapped - temporary, genuine insanity - there is no way I'm convinced that someone shouldn't have seen this coming, be it his family or the courts (I've now heard that this horrible thing was this man's way of "punishing his ex-wife".)

Point is: Sane people don't do these things.

[jkspatty]

There are community mental health centers all over this country that offer services on a sliding scale. However, if a person does not a) get arrested b) get committed by family c) seek treatment on their own, no mental health program can help them. Usually a happens long before b or c. Having a family member committed is one of the emotionally hardest things to do, so I can understand why family members might not intervene. The services are there, but you cannot make someone utilize them.

Even company provided health insurance provides almost zero mental health care. I think it's $1,000. Won't cover a week's stay in a mental hospital. After the insurance runs out, you are declared healed and kicked out. Nice huh?:smt023

There haven't been any statements released by the mother or other family memebers, that I've heard of or read about. :smt009

[CircusRide]

I'd love to personally shove this sick bastard into a meat grinder......very slowly.

[fuzzis]

They've now found three of the four bodies (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22670526/), the third one today near Pascagoula.

What kind of responsibility does the mother bear in this situation, if any?

[CircusRide]

I don't know about the mother being to blame for any of it. I mean, he killed them because he was pissed at her. There's no reasonable cause for this sick crap.

Meat grinder......feet first.......slowly.

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

it is such a sad sad story...

[Conveyor Belt]

I hope the prison guards have a really forgetful memory when they put him in GP and leave him there for the night.

[fuzzis]

Well. Another place I read occasionally is all up in arms about how the mother failed to protect her children...that she kept having children with a crack addict who was abusive and that she shares responsibility for what happened. Not at fault, but...

I don't know if I can fully buy into that line of thinking.
