ORANGEBURG, S.C. — Investigators didn't believe it when a woman said her two young sons drowned after her car plunged into a river. She ultimately confessed to killing the toddlers, they say -- not by dumping them in the water but by suffocating them earlier with her own hands.
Broke, jobless and berated by her mother for her failings, Shaquan Duley killed the boys, ages 2 years and 18 months, then strapped their bodies into their car seats before rolling the vehicle into the North Edisto River in a desperate coverup attempt, authorities said Tuesday.
"She truly felt, 'If I don't have these toddlers, I can be free,"' Orangeburg County Sheriff Larry Williams said at a news conference. "I think she was fed up with her mother telling her she couldn't take care of the children, or she wasn't taking care of the children, and just wanted to be free."
The state agency responsible for child welfare in South Carolina said it has had no involvement with Duley
What the heck is wrong with the USA's society that this can happen in this day and age? She also had a 5 year old daughter along with the 2 year old and 18 month old boys. Can she not afford birth control? Is the pill something you have to pay for down in the US. Condoms are cheap enough.
How the Americans can say they live in the best country in the universe baffles me sometimes. There are obviously too many of their citizens living on the poverty line with no jobs. And how can they invade other countries with the supposed purpose of bringing democracy to these lands before they sort out their own country problems?
Of course the US government doesn't hold all the blame. Some people are just feeble minded and disrespectful of human life. And I guess it could have happened in any country. A previous case in South Carolina ended up with life for Susan Smith after she put her sons into her car and rolled it into a lake.
I hope Shaqan Duley rots in prison also.
