Descripción de The Yates Children Story:

Please Visit www.brokenchild.org Comments have been momentarily disabled. I didn't make this video to start a debate on whether or not Andrea was or was not mentally ill. It was made as a tribute, rememberance and educational purposes. Noah Jacob born February 26th, 1994 John Samuel born December 15th, 1995 Paul Abraham born September 13th, 1997 Luke David born February 15th, 1999 Mary Deborah born November 30th, 2000. Went to heaven June 20th, 2001. In 1998 Andrea began showing signs of exhaustion after three children. In July 1999 Andrea suffered a nervous breakdown and attempted suicide twice. She was diagnosed with postpartum psychosis. After being discharged in January 2000 Andrea had Mary in November despite doctor's warnings. June 20th, 2001 When Rusty Yates went to work Andrea was left alone with her five children despite doctor's warnings that Andrea must be monitored around the clock. Dora Yates Mr. Yates mother was due to arrive in an hour to take over for Andrea. Andrea then called her children one by one into the bathroom. Luke was the first. Andrea held her 2yr old son Luke head first underwater. After Luke had died Andrea went into a bedroom where she placed Luke down. Next Andrea drowned her three year old son Paul. Andrea then drowned her five year old son John. After each child had died Andrea placed her sons on a bed and covered them with a sheet. Andrea then placed her daughter 6 month old Mary in the tub. When Mary had died Andrea called in Noah Mary was still in the bathtub. When Noah came inside the bathroom he asked "What happened to Mary?" Noah ran when Andrea came out of the bathtub. Andrea chased Noah all over the house before catching him and dragged him to the bathroom and held him under water. Noah continued fighting and resurfaced a couple of times for air. Noah's last words were "I'm sorry" Mary's body was placed along side her brothers but Noah's was left in the bathtub. Andrea then called her husband and the police. Andrea called her husband saying her needed to come home. When he asked if anyone was hurt she said yes, the children. When he asked who. She said all of them. On a double bed in a master bedroom John, Paul, Luke and Mary laid beneath a sheet. All of them dead with their eyes wide open. When asked why Andrea said she drowned them because she was a bad mother and was saving them from Hell. She said the voices in her head were telling her things. March 2002, Andrea was sentenced to life in prison with eligibility for parole in 40yrs. January 6, 2005 Andrea was retrialed because of false testimony saying the night before Andrea murdered her children an episode of Law and Order showed about a woman murdering her children then was acquitted of murder by reason of insanity. The writer of Law and Order said no such episode existed. in 2004, Law & Order: Criminal Intent did air the episode "Magnificat", based in part on Yates' case. July 26, 2006 Andrea was found not guilty by reasons of insanity. January 2007, Yates was moved to a low security state mental hospital in Kerrville, Texas Rest in Peace Angels Songs used in this video: 1st,Pacific Wing by Ryan Farnish 2nd.With Hope by Steven Curtis Chapman
