Video shows arrest of Washington woman accused of killing her 4-year-old son
EVERETT, Wash. - Newly-released body camera videos show the early investigation into the disappearance of Ariel Garcia, the 4-year-old boy from Everett who prosecutors allege was killed by his mother Janet Garcia in March.
Janet Garcia is awaiting trial in Snohomish County where she's charged with murder for stabbing her son dozens of times and then leaving his body on the side of I-5, according to court filings.

@@ClansmanKabortion culture? If that was so, all those murdered children would have been aborted before they became children. Meaning that the 'demons' would have no victims. It's more likely to be the opposite. Unfit people having children they should never have given birth to because they couldn't get abortions.. You do realize that abortion decreases the number of unfit parents? And means that the proportion of children who are wanted, loved and cared for goes up?

@@denisefallin8042 there's no way you'd actually make that comment if you're truly a psych nurse practitioner. "Evil" isn't a DSMV category, and there is zero training in the field of "evil" other than Catholic Priests. So, no. The top psychiatrist in the world cannot diagnose "evil", as that isn't a term studied, or diagnosis name, used amongst the medical community. BTW, those that carry the layman's term of "evil", are diagnosed with sociopathy or psychopathy, which are both mental illnesses. So yes, an evil person is most definitely mentally ill. There's no diagnostic term of "evil". Psychpath, sociopath. Those are the diagnoses for "evil" people.
