Woman Murdered Her Three Sons Fearing They Would Abuse Women When They Grew Up
2019-11-25
[DailyWire] An Ohio mother suffocated her three young sons to death over the course of two years and told police she did it because she worried the boys would grow up to abuse women.

Brittany Renee Pilkington, 27, was sentenced to 37 years in prison after pleading guilty on Tuesday to the murders, The Daily Mail reported. She will serve seven years for an involuntary manslaughter charge and 15 years to life for each of the two murder charges.

The first son she killed was an infant named Niall in July 2014. She then killed four-year-old Gavin in April 2015. Three-month-old Noah was smothered in August 2015. She confessed to what she had done when Noah was found.

In a taped confession, Pilkington told police she was depressed and feared her sons would one day abuse women.

Her husband, 47-year-old Joseph, pleaded guilty “to a misdemeanor charge of sexual imposition for having sex with her before they were married, when she was underage,” the Mail reported. Joseph had originally been charged with sexual battery because he started his “relationship” with Brittany when she was 17 and impregnating her at that time. Joseph had previously dated Brittany’s mother and lived with the family for years when Brittany was a teenager. Joseph eventually married Brittany.
Pretty much maximizing the luridness...

#6  No, Spanky. Not because of some libtard ethic.

I read the piece, and chanced upon the news clip. It shows she is a mentally challenged girl of a single adventurist mother. She was preyed upon at 13, by the mother's boyfriend and made pregnant by 17, finally forced to marry him. The girl clearly is not equipped to be mother or wife or anybody.

The death of the babies is tragic, but if anybody's more responsible it's the family that expects a normal role out of her. They began raping a retarded girl at 13 and married her in her teens too. She's not even a matured person. Probably won't ever be. Just another case that got by the CPA maybe.

#5  "I would call her a victim."

To a person that murders 3 of their own sons? you are a monster then.

#3  I suppose that's the difference, men make decisions and women are victims. No doubt all the more having killed her own 3 sons.

#1  I would call her a victim. If you read the story, the real culprits are her mother and her 'husband', who insinuated himself into her life as her mother's boyfriend. A predator.

The courts cannot hope to begin to understand the subjective nature of this mess. So they send her off to 15 years and forget about it. Just another topic of discussion for the golf game with Judge Anderson.
