A mother was being questioned in the fatal stabbings of four of her children and their father, police in Gwinnett County, Georgia, said Thursday.
Another child was found with injuries, officials said. That girl's condition was unknown.
All of the children discovered at the home near Loganville, about 30 miles east of Atlanta, appear to be under age 10, officials said. The male victim was in his mid-30s.

That makes zero sense, unless she called her pastor to tell them she'd stabbed her family to death.
Crimony. With a knife, too. That's some commitment to murdering...

at a fire station. But why take their lives so brutally? I offer
the murderer no sympathy for whatever demons may be
tormenting her.

Remember the woman who drowned all her little ones? First it was her religious duty to be fertile all the time, and second it was her religious duty to be perfect in every way. Her parents, her husband, every adult in her life felt they could call on her at any time and her response would be helpful -- and perfect, no matter if she was 9 months pregnant or had just given birth. Oh, and she was supposed to homeschool the kids, too.
When she finally fell apart at the seams and went mad, thinking she was such a horrible mother and wife that her children would surely be condemned to Hell, her husband and parents were given all the societal and churchly support imaginable.
As I predicted, she was sentenced to life in prison and given lots of medication so that she would be sane enough to fully comprehend what she had done. She lives in Hell, and only death can release her. I hope the God I believe in will be merciful to her soul, as she had no mercy done to her in life.
We have no idea what led this woman in Georgia to murder her whole family. I am sorry for the dead. But I won't judge her until much more is known.
