I was 12 at the time of this incident. And even then it was so sad to hear about those boys. To hear what there mother did to them was sickening. And for there father to loose them forever. A father who would never see his children again is just so sad. I’m happy to read though that David has a new family. He really does deserve a second chance. His sons are looking down upon him and smiling seeing their little sister and brother

it devastates me to even think of what she did to her babies. how could you they were just babies. i am a mother of two and my kids are 3 and 4 and i can’t think about doing that to them. i don’t even like to think about it because it makes me cry. but i wish david the best in life. i hope you can live for you boys who are now looking after you. yes your chance of fatherhood was taken once but now you have another chance. i wish you the best and may God bless you.

I was only 10 when this happened but I remembered feeling so heartbroken for those boys and the father. The part where it says they would have been 17 and 15 now is just sad…what this woman did…is only an act God can forgive.
