A Horror Story For Four Young Children

[joepole]

I did know that. Did you know that almost never happens?

>You honestly think this mother in her right mind would have likely done this

Depends on what definition of "right mind" you're using. By the legal standard of insanity? Certainly I think someone in "their right mind" could do that.

>There is a very fine thin line between legally sane and insane.

No, there's a very clear and concise line. I don't have the Texas statutes handy, but I bet the insanity defense it's similar to Louisiana's. If the circumstances indicate that because of a mental disease or mental defect the offender was incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong with reference to the conduct in question, the offender shall be exempt from criminal responsibility.
