Can't get Andrea Yates out of my head. Before today, I didn't know who she was.

If you know who she is, does she haunt you?

If you don't know who she is, don't google her unless you're up for a serious downer with a dose of feminist rage.

At least there might have been a civil case brought against him.

It *infuriates* me that he wasn't held complicit in this.

If the Wikipedia article is correct (and this section has been marked as possibly not neutral), then Rusty misled the doctor into believing that Andrea was under constant supervision, adn was warned by relatives that she was not safe to be alone with the kids. Sure sounds like grounds for a child endangerment case as far as I'm concerned. Yates has blamed the doctor for taking her off the meds, but he hasn't sued the doctor -- and if he was blameless in the situation you can bet anything he would have.
