Wow, what a heartless bitch. And with a hammer? I bet she never helped him with his homework either. He will probably need some therapy, or baby sleeping pills to help keep that bloody image out of his dreams. Oh wait, there are no baby sleeping pills. That means he'll probably have nightmares for a very long time. Maybe the rest of his life. I really feel sorry for the poor kid. I hope she'll still be rotting in jail when Mother's Day rolls around.
