A Kansas City mother has been accused of killing her 10-year-old son and allegedly did it because she thought “it would be better for him to go to heaven.” The Huffington Post has the whole story:
Lindsey Nicole Blansett, 33, was arrested early Monday morning at her home in Wellington, according to KAKE.
Police believe that on the previous night, after her son, Caleb, went to bed, the mother “decided his life would be full of suffering and pain and that it would be better for him to go to heaven tonight,” according to a criminal complaint.
She then allegedly struck the boy with a rock and fatally stabbed him with a knife.
Blansett dialled 911 herself after the incident, according to KWCH. In a call released by Sumner County authorities, she can be heard saying, “I just stabbed my son” and “I am never going to get out of jail, never. I am going to have to live with that.”
The boy’s 9-year-old sister was unharmed and was taken into protective custody. Those who knew the family say Caleb and the girl were close.
“They did everything together,” a neighbour told KSN. “He was never alone. She was always beside him.”
