Horror in Maryland

Child bodies found in US freezer

Police in the US state of Maryland say they have found the frozen bodies of two children in the freezer of a house in Calvert County.

A 43-year-old woman told police the children were her adopted daughters and had been frozen since February.

The remains were found by authorities investigating reports of child abuse at the address.

The county sheriff's office told the BBC the woman was arrested and was being held without bail.

The authorities visited the house, in Lusby, on Saturday to investigate reports of abuse against a third child, a seven-year-old girl, who showed "signs of extreme abuse and neglect", the sheriff's department said. When police arrived at her house to look for evidence of the alleged abuse, they found the children's remains in a chest-style freezer.

The woman said that the remains were those of her adopted children and had been in the freezer since she had moved to the area in February, said police. She also admitted to hitting the seven-year-old with a "hard-heeled shoe".

An Entry to add to my "People are Stupid" File

Full Story Here

This story has two problems other than stupidity. One is a very, irresponsible grandmother who left her two grandchildren in a locked car while she was in a Broward County casino. They are in the car for an hour and 15 minutes before authorities were alerted.

The other problem is why a 14-year boy didn't have the good sense to get out of the car. For the life of me, I don't know why these things surprise me, but they do.
