Saving by killing?

I was shocked by an e-mail I received from a Facebook group called "Don't Allow Registered Sex Offenders on Facebook!!!". It said "Mom strangles and kills 11-year-old daughter to save her from pedophiles". How is that saving her? Here's the full news story.

The Sherwood mother of an 11-year-old girl confessed to police that she strangled and killed her daughter to save her from pedophiles, according to a Washington County arrest warrant for murder.

Kristina Buckley made the statement during an ambulance ride to St. Vincent's hospital, where she was being taken for treatment of self-inflicted wounds to her wrists and neck, the warrant read.

The warrant does not specify anything further about the reasons why the mother feared that harm would come to her daughter Cecilia Buckley.

The girl's body was found on the living room floor of her home at 17618 SW Galewood Drive late afternoon on June 2. Police had been dispatched to a report of an unresponsive person.

The warrant for Buckley was prepared by Tualatin police officer Kevin D. Winfield, who helped investigate the case as part of the Washington County Interagency Major Crimes Team.

Winfield said he arrived at the Buckley home about 5:20 on June 2. He was told that Cecilia Buckley was found limp on the floor of the front living room of the home.

Attempts were made to revive her and she was taken to Meridian Park Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

A later autopsy would show she died of strangulation. Sherwood police found Kristina Buckley had locked herself in the bathroom, with self-inflicted wounds to her wrists and neck.

Winfield wrote that Sherwood officers said Buckley made spontaneous statements that she was Cecilia's mother and that she had killer her daughter.

Winfield read Miranda rights to her in the ambulance on the way to St. Vincent's hospital.

He said Buckley understood those rights and agreed to speak with him and a Tigard detective, acknowledging that "by killing Cecilia Buckley she would go to jail."

"Kristina Buckley said that in-part, her reason for killing Cecilia Buckley," Winfield wrote in the warrant, "was because she wanted to 'save' and protect Cecilia Buckley from pedophiles."

How fucked up...

I called a Bed & Breakfast place yesterday about a job, and was asked by the lady to see her Friday at 10:30. So, looks like I have a job interview tomorrow. Finally! A job that didn't just say "We'll call you.", and never call back. Hopefully, I can get this job. It'll only be working three days a week (Monday, Saturday and Sunday), but it's a lot better than nothing; and also it'll get Mom and her moronic boyfriend off of my back about jobs and all. I really hope I get the job.
