Haunted by ‘Dark Thoughts,’ Louisiana Father Kills 8 Children

If this man had murdered eight strangers the story would lead every news outlet. But because they are his children, it's "family violence," "domestic violence" -- undeserving of the same attention. Even though this violence is much more common
