A Naperville, Ill., woman who allegedly stabbed her son 100 times and a girl 50 times told police there were "devils" inside the children that she needed to kill, according to a prosecutor.

At 40-year-old Elzbieta Plackowska's bond hearing Thursday morning, DuPage County State Attorney Robert Berlin explained Plackowska's alleged comments. "She stated the children had evil inside of them and she was trying to drive the devil out of them," Berlin said, according to NBCChicago.com.

Police say that on Tuesday Plackowska fatally stabbed her 7-year-old son Justin 100 times and 5-year-old Olivia Dworakowski 50 times, according to the Chicago Tribune. At the time, Plackowska was babysitting her son and the girl at Olivia’s home in Naperville, about 30 miles west of Chicago, the newspaper reported. She allegedly told the kids to kneel and pray before stabbing them, NBCChicago.com reported, and also told her son that he was going to heaven.

Prosecutors say both the kids' throats were slashed, the Tribune reported.

After the murders, Plackowska tried to go to a Naperville church but found it closed, so she left a message on its answering machine saying she had done something bad and needed assistance, Berlin said, according to The Associated Press. Covered in blood and with scratches on her hands, she went to a friend's home where her other, adult son was staying and told them that she had been robbed, Berlin said.

This woman is a complete psycho

[Kosher Ham]

I does make me wonder in situations like this about insanity...she was somewhat religious and claimed the devil was inside them.

Either way a pitiful excuse for her to execute 2 young children right ? Or was she doing the right thing ?

Hmmm...

[RansomthePasserby]

Or was she doing the right thing ?

Hmmm...

Uhhh, how could stabbing children ever be the right thing?

Hmmm...

No way IMO was she remotely doing "the right thing". The woman is clearly insane.

[SkinsFTW]

Maybe they were listening to Ozzy and she had to exorcise the demons.

[FSUSkins24]

And not drug related? The human mind is a scary scary place.

[21cents]

humans are just pathetic.

[Renegade7]

I feel there needs to be more of a conversation about mental illnesses in this country. I don't even want to know if she thought she was right or not. Someone should've had some idea about what was going on before this happened.

[Ellis]

The devil was inside, huh?

Was it a legitimate stabbing?

[redskinss]

Uhhh, how could stabbing children ever be the right thing?

I think the sarcastic point he is trying to make is that she did it for religious reasons so does that make it ok like so many other things some people do because of there beliefs that others may not agree with.

It's an obviously ludacris comparison but I'm also pretty sure its just blatant sarcasm.

[Corcaigh]

It's an obviously ludacris comparison

It's a fair question though ... how can you reliably distinguish between delusions of someone suffering from mental illness and legitimate demonic possession that should be handled by a trained professional such as a priest or witch doctor?

Pastor charged in killing of fiancee's daughter

http://news.yahoo.com/pastor-charged...144301701.html

BROOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A central Michigan pastor accused of beating and strangling a neighbor to fulfill a sexual fantasy was engaged to the victim's mother and had asked church members to pray for the young woman before police found her body, a friend said Friday.

"We are all absolutely floored," said Donna Houghton, 76, who had a role in hiring White to be pastor at the 14-member Christ Community Fellowship three years ago. She said she protested his innocence until she heard he had confessed.

White told investigators he repeatedly struck Gay's head with a mallet then strangled her with a zip tie, according to the Isabella County sheriff's office. He said he stripped her but does not remember if he carried out his fantasy of having sex with Gay's dead body.

"He was absolutely contrite," Houghton said. "All kinds of people turn around and meet the Lord and they are a different person. He was doing a lot of good in the community. ... He was doing a lot of good and Satan did not want him doing good, and Satan got to him."

It is always so comforting to know that one of the best things about being religious is that no one is responsible for their actions.
(That'll wait til after yer dead!)

I think I'll go kill me a baby today. Cut it up and stick it in the oven.
Not my fault!
Oh, Satan!
You rascal, you!

This is pretty horrible. Just recently a good friend of mines sister and two sons were killed by her husband who then commited suicide himself. Some of the things people can do to one another is unbelievable.

Always easier to blame someone else for your actions, isn't it?

"Adam, why did you eat the fruit?"

"That woman told me to."
