How horrible for that poor woman that she unknowingly killed her boyfriend. I really hope she's working through that trauma. It's easy for me to say that she shouldn't hold herself responsible because she had no way of knowing what was really going on but I know I'd have some guilt if it were my in this situation. I do not leave my drinks unattended at bars. I'm okay with the waitress bringing me a drink that I ordered but I won't ever take a drink from a random person that just decides to bring me a drink. Those are things you hear about and look out for, somebody drugging your drink. I never would in my wildest dreams suspect my parent(s) of poisoning me. I bet this family had no clue.

I love the Biography Channel. Don't have it now since we got rid of digital cable. I miss it.

I don't know how any mother could harm her child. If one of my kids falls down and gets a bruise, I'm distraught, let alone deliberatly cause them pain/suffering/death.

Mary Beth Tinning is a stellar example of a bad mother. Sounds to me like Janice Gibbs was right along side her.
