In Loving Memory Of Michael and Alexander Smith

[jcraigb]

The disease she had was called being a slut

[danewson]

She chose a man over her babies and tried to kill them. White americans kill their family members all of the time nothing new. But it was a tragedy and an uproar started when she tried to blame it on a black man.

[bob196838]

I stopped by this lake the other day and it did not even cross my mind this was where she committed this hatefull crime. I was overcome with the anger that i first felt at the time they found out what she did. I hope there is a special place in hell for her. And she burns for several eternitys.

[XxTearsinHeavenx]

i heard they were found still holding hands :'(

[jewelcat9]

Why would a woman kill the babies who loved her so much for a guy who didn't give a shit about her? What some woman do to please a stupid prick makes me sick to my stomach.

[wendybitch06]

the stupid bitch should have just gave them to their dad!

[kelimom6]

I will never forget these children, I remember the day it happened like it was yesterday. They were so sweet and adorable, it's such a shame that Susan couldn't ask for help. Poor sweet angels, you are missed.

[TheFugudug]

Rest in peace little guys... They were holding each others hands when found....

[Mary4579]

It's been a long time since Michael and Alex were killed. I was a little girl of 9 when this tragedy occured. They were adorable boys. They are missed. Can you send me a picture of Michael and Alex? please.

sweet babies

[Caligamecock]

Strangely I have some connection to this story.I was just 12 living in Laurens county when it happened.However my father owned a shop down the road from John D Long lake...That picture of the car might have even been taken in the parking lot of his shop.They pulled over in the shops parking lot to re strap down the car.Now My parents live in Pauline SC...just a few miles from where the children are buried.God bless them

[sambob8906]

i dont have time to be depressed..... i have 4 boys to run around after

rip babies xxxx

[devdarkpie]

My name is Michael O Smith i have thought about these two kids many times over the yrs very sad I pray for there father i know he hurts.

[vikki8181]

These would of been young men now, Why should she ever have any quality of life ever, Do goodies will always have an excuse for scum like this.

[tortilla1soup]

What these young girls do to their children over a goddamn boyfriend!

Drown her ass!

[sueishere25]

Great video!! Such a tragedy. I can't believe it has been 15 years already. I don't know about depression since I have never suffered from it but I would hope with God's grace I wouldn't be able to do that...

[kalaslsl]

Susan should have been hanged, given the needle or electrocuted to death!

[kyssmeireva]

Poor babies, i remember this story and how i really wanted them to return to home safe.. i remember how i cryed when i heard what there mother had done, at it was relly hard to hear that they had died holding hands..

Now you are safe beautiful angels <3

[dsrtflwr]

My two boys were they same age as Michael and Alexander when this happened. They are now almost 15 and 17. When it happened, I prayed and prayed that those boys would be found safe. I prayed for Susan too. So horrifying and sad.

[cne08]

Poor baby boys.

[brittanysalter09]

this is so sad that someone would go this far and murder their children. It really is sad. In my hometown

[dwigle]

I lived in Union as a child and my parents knew her family and my brother worked with David Smith at the time this happened. So tragic! Hard to understand how something like this could happen.

[david13395]

I do too... I have 2 boys the same age.

[tekel8]

I still think of these kids. I cried so much and dont know them. I still cry thinking.

[mayme4]

you know i have depression too and i know how it feels..but i will tell you i have 2 children and never ever would i ever think to kill them..depression does not make you a killer let alone to your own 2 babies..those poor kids dont know whats happening and why..

[ef063143]

This is such a sad case no matter what.

But she had really bad depression and i know thats no excuess but i have depression and i know how if feels and you can never truely understand it until you have gone though it.

I just hope things can be learned from this case.

RIP michael and alex!

[iraqidolphin]

I understand psychotic depression, but depression does not make one go on television, lie, and blame it on a black man.

[broadwaymelody33]

Mhm. See, I'm majoring in Psychology, and I think she has borderline personality disorder. Because she said "I miss 'em everyday" which is more than likely true, but she did lie about the entire incident.

It's very sad, the whole thing, really -_-

[cassapollard]

what is sad is she chose a boyfriend over her 2 boys.......it is called SELFISH. not borderline personality that is just an excuse!

[broadwaymelody33]

Saying she could have an unfortunate disease doesn't lessen her crime; I wasn't defending her actions at all, I'm just explaining what her problem was. For my bachelor's thesis I've been working with people with the disorder and a lot of them just act on a whim, but then regret later, lying to make themselves feel guiltless. And I tell you, she sounds just like those people.

That doesn't mean I'm on her side, trust me!

it was a selfish crime that only a very sick person could have committed

[cassapollard]

I understand that but the problem is some people are just evil. I realize there are people who think evil doesn't exists but it does. later regret it, or regret that they were caught?

[crabfishlion]

@cassapollard An illness is not an excuse. It is a condition that many women who kill their kids have. Research it before you feel the need to slander.

[cassapollard]

@crabfishlion illness? just what illness did she have? what was proven in court of her illness NOTHING! she killed those beautiful boys because she wanted to be with that so called boyfriend of hers. he did not want kids. give it a rest and understand there is good and bad in this world instead of making an excuse of illness. sheesh!

[cassapollard]

@crabfishlion this is nothing more than an excuse. condition? more excuses from people who see no problem with children dying because the mother has a condition. Susan's so called condition was called a boyfriend. there are people like you who continue to excuse murder. so when a woman kills her kids i is because she has a condition...how pathetic!

[mafaldacrumbwitty]

So what if the bitch had bad depression?  I have it too, but you don't see me and a lot of other women murdering our children. She should have gotten the death penalty!

[cleopatra62]

I dont know how has she coped with this, I have no freaking idea how!

[TinkerBebe]

If you don't want freaking kids use birth control...or here's a better thought don't have sex! Oh ooops wait, everyone needs sex since its the best thing on earth (sarcasm).

People need to get a freaking clue.

[darlena00]

I was 13 years old when this happened. I remember seeing Susan Smith on tv begging for her childrens safe return. My heart leaped out of my chest and i could feel her pain. My mom on the other hand was suspicious of her in the beginning, I remember yelling at my mom saying "mom how can you say that! Someone has her babies, mothers dont hurt their babies!" I guess i was wrong.

[tigertbalm]

I guess God can forgive Susan, for the rest of us it's harder.

[PetitionAgainstAbuse]

Great Vid, I have this memorial on my website which is petitioning for harsher sentences for all child murders and abusers.

Why do people hurt these children?their our tomorrow. Now there our yesterday!, There are hundreds of murdered children memorials on my site, a foundation called Justice For Children.(follow my page) Its a never ending job updating the site because of how many children are taken away from us. Maybe 1 day when the sentences are harsher enough it will stop.SIGN THE PETITION
