  1. I knew this was coming. It’s actually logical. I would rather die with my kids than live through losing them. Sad to say, but something doesn’t add up.

    1. They were divorced and she dropped them off with their FATHER. What doesn’t add up is him only having smoke inhalation….but not donating to the mom so she can bury her babies because you are suspecting HER…is a disgusting act.

      5
      20
    1. Is there a specific funeral home who is handling this? I think the prudent thing would be to donate direct to the funeral home and not give money to either of these families at this point.

      32
      2
  2. I feel for her, but she should be bringing that to the police and not posting it on Facebook. She could be potentially hurting his prosecution if there is negligence.

    39
    1
    1. Yes. Her comments are not helpful in this situation. It just sounds like someone saying they are not bashing someone as they are bashing them. Go to the police and an attorney with this.

  3. Nobody knows what they would do in a situation until they are actually in it. Panic is your enemy. It’s easy for us to say what we would do , but until you’re actually living it???

    36
    11
  4. Mother stated the father disabled the smoke detectors. An investigation should look into these comments to rule out any maternal contributory criminality.

    21
    2
        1. She knew of a dangerous situation that involved her children and she remained mute. I’ll let the lawyers chip in as to how culpable she may be.

    1. So she knew the smoke detectors were disabled? And coincidentally they die by die hours after she leaves them? Hmmm..

      6
      5
    2. The baby girl was in bed with dad. The two boys were in there room, he just ran out of the building. Why didn’t eee grab hid daughter. Or yell to his kids. Why disable the smoke detector. I guess he was smoking in bed. That’s what I heard on Kenosha news. The mom knows him better then us..

      3
      1
  5. In the last article numerous people accused those saying something seemed peculiar about this tragedy as being pathetic heartless monsters. Well it looks like those comments aged like milk!

    This is what we know. Maybe there is something fishy, maybe mom and dad just have issues and this is just a tragedy. Nobody but them know for now. Regardless, some people shouldn’t have been beat on in the comment section for noticing peculiar details.

    11
    4
    1. Or we could let the authorities do their job and wait to speculate or gossip on here about what happened until ALL the facts come out. Regardless, the focus now should be on grieving the victims and the importance of all homes, especially those with children, increasing or maintaining fire prevention efforts.

      1. Yes, the authorities should do their job and spreading gossip doesn’t help, but let‘s be honest and acknowledge that public opinion plays a role in the judicial system. If there is a case or charges of some sort, public opinion plays a role in the creation of those to a degree. If you want justice, granted that there was any wrongdoing, it’s not a bad thing for the public to be engaged with this matter.

  6. Did anyone look at her FB page? 99% of her posts are selfies with mad filters. She sounds ghetto af. Then look at her bf. Talk about a typical wanna be thug loser! Wow what a damn shame for these kids. So awful there’s such low lifes in the world

    23

    1. Well damn somebody woke up on the wrong side of the universe you could’ve saved every word of your comment I’m sure your a Karen or Kyle

      2
      13
      1. She is totally ghetto, her and her bf would rather live that life than be parents. Yet now want the money that they can get from this.
        Which politician said “never let a crisis go to waste”?

        16
        4
  7. Since I don’t believe for a moment that anything is going to be sandbagged or overlooked on this, the last thing I’m going to give is an opinion on anything other than it being a tragedy that three young children are gone.

    19
    1
    1. Absolutely…..it makes me fucking sick. I think one needs to take a deep dive into the record….why was placement taken from her? Why was placement given to him, if anyone? It almost seems like neither parent was fit.

        1. People get these two terms confused a lot. I am talking about placement. Placement is what matters…..that is how much time you physically get with the kids.

          Why were these kids placed with him instead of her by the court, there was a reason for that…..that normally does not happen unless the one parent has some serious issues and it’s even more rare for the father to be the one to get primary placement.

          There is a very large portion of this overall picture missing…..

          8
          1
          1. So, if it’s 50/50, they don’t both have the kids 50% of the time???? Genuine question…What would be the difference about placement if the time is split evenly?

            1. Placement is where the children physically live.
              Custody determines who’s in charge of making the decisions when it comes to the children, such as making medical decisions, childcare, health insurance, etc. etc.

  8. This seems all sketchy. The mom is all over Facebook looking for attention when she should be grieving. She didn’t even have custody of the kids so that tells you that much. And word on the street is she’s making money from selling porn. She doesn’t even cry in the interview she does on the news and she’s not acting like a mother who just lost her baby’s. The dad on the other hand something is up with that. You gonna tell me your kids are in a burning house and you don’t die trying to get them out?! Like what is wrong with people. Just goes to show both of these parents shouldn’t be having kids.

    27
    1. Well, she was convicted of resisting/obstructing.

      I mean, if you are going to make the claims she did…..I would want to know the details of that case to help determine if she is even trustworthy. Also, it appears she lost primary placement of her children years back….why? Again, these are details that are relevant in my opinion.

      I do agree this girl has been all over social media posting and TV…..like, who posts stuff like this when their three children just died. She seems to want all of the attention right now and it’s weird…..like she is covering for something. I think one of her posts was “I should be out shopping for christmas presents but I’m out shopping for caskets.” Like, why would you post that on social media? Yes, people grieve in different ways…..but there are some ways that just don’t make sense. Those of us who have kids can probably understand the difference.

      Her post and accusations from tonight are pretty ballsy….like someone mentioned, if she knew this, why did she not say something? Again, if this guy was a creep…..and maybe he is…..it still begs the question as to what she is hiding that the court gave him primary placement.

      It seems she is trying to deflect those questions by now blaming him. This entire situation has left me with a very uneasy feeling from almost day 1. It started with all the fundraisers from both sides…and the more that seems to come out just makes both parents look really bad. THREE children died!

      22
      1. She’s acting like she is because that’s how people with no future but sympathy gifts act. If there’s a bus accident outside our house she’s going to run in the back door of the bus and come out front door holding her neck and screaming, “whiplash”.

  9. Drunk, high, or not in the apartment is the only way I don’t have third degree burns trying to save my kids.
    Didn’t add up from the start.

    15
  10. I feel so terrible for these kids, RIP. They are gone way too soon. It just sounds like there’s a pretty toxic relationship between the parents.

    I do think it’s really weird how public mom is.

    Yes I’m judging but she doesn’t seem too stable and I really want to know what the Dad was doing while this occurred.

    I want to donate for the kids but can’t until more comes out. Unless we can go direct to a funeral home…

    11
    1. That’s the way decades of Democrats has designed the system. Single Mom is a very high paying job when you add in all the benefits. And you can still have a two-family household, as long as your boyfriend parks around the corner and gets his mail at his mom’s house.

      6
      6
        1. He’s not wrong. Trashy people have made welfare a career path and realize they get rewarded for more and more illegitimate kids. It’s apparently an even bigger cash-cow if they pass.

  11. Both “parents” are total trash. Those poor kids never had a chance anyway. This was sketchy from the first story.
    People die trying to save their pets, but 3 young children die? Forensic investigation will get to the bottom of this.

    11
    1. I hope 3 autopsy investigations are performed.
      Wondering if there was something in their systems that knocked
      them out so they wouldn’t wake up. Not saying that’s what
      happened, God forbid, but every angle MUST be investigated.

  12. Wow, this is a mess. I did see Mom’s interview on WISN. I was concerned when she repeated several times, it was all about her kids. That is what it is to be a parent. I agree with several responders. We should make sure the children’s funerals and burials are paid for. Hopefully, Dad has renters’ insurance. We need to focus on the children. Let the adults clean up their mess. It’s a horrible, bitter lesson to learn. I don’t think they should make any money from this tragedy.

    10
    1
    1. People grieve in different ways and different times. Ghetto doesn’t mean burn your kids up. Any insurance money, oh yeah their ghetto. She doesn’t look like a porn person oh yeah she’s ghetto. I think you should keep your comments to your self until you know the facts……

  13. The father was NOT home. The smoke alarms were disabled so they didn’t wake the kids.
    Someone called the father and he came home to this tragedy.

    5
    1
    1. Someone posted that they were disabled so smoking could be done in the house.
      IF that’s the case ……… ***WHO*** …….. does that ????????

    2. Who TF was watching these kids then?
      They couldn’t leave by a door or jump out of a window? Looks like about 14 feet.
      These were not toddlers.
      Does not add up!

  14. We live in a broken society. This tragedy and all the community comments reflect it.
    Those poor children is what matters. Life, the system and society did it.

  15. Let the investigation play out normally, not on social media. Keep your family disfunction to yourself, and mourn your children like the rest of us that didn’t know them are.

    14
    1. Exactly. There are 3 of them. Mom, dad and sister. Already over 70,000 combined. Who is paying for the burial which they all say the money is for. Shady as fuck

      12
      1. The parents combined initially wanted about 25k for funeral expenses. Now they have raised over 90k with all these damn GOFUNDME. Mom’s gofundme increases the jackpot about every 4hrs…
        These precious children deserved SO MUCH MORE than BOTH of these scumbag “parents”!

        10
        1. Fucken insane. They will do the bare min to honor and bury these kids with all that money now. 90,000 and growing. Better be the biggest funeral and headstones

          1. I suspect they should keep some of that money because we don’t know if they are going to eventually need lawyers.

            I feel it’s odd no cause of fire has been announced still which leads to me to believe the investigators have “other stuff” they are looking into.

            Agreed it’s fucking insane these parents are going to profit off this. They both were shitty ass parents and didn’t even deserve children. Anyone see the mother’s hood ass boyfriend chime in on the Facebook article? My god, that guy’s record is a mile long.

              1. No the new boyfriend? Goes by Ant Cichocki on Facebook (you always know people are hiding something when they have a nickname as their Facebook or name or when girls do the stupid first and middle name). I think guys actual name is Angelo according to CCAP.

  16. The mom wasn’t even crying on the news, she was forcing it..it made me sick i couldnt even watch it.If my children died i wouldnt even know how to function let alone talk and post on social media

  17. So….she decides to have the funerals at Great Lakes Church….? Presumably probably free.

    Where the fuck is all this money going that was donated for funerals?
