Weird..

Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino said holding her at the county jail for her trial would be impossible because she needs extensive medical care.

"She would die," said Trevino in Thursday's online edition of The Monitor in McAllen.

The grand jury indicted Rosales after an autopsy confirmed investigators' suspicions that the child died March 18 because he had been struck. Investigators believe the toddler was struck at least twice, crushing his head

The woman weighs over 1,000 lbs and she blames it on a thyroid problem. Insane. No thyroid problem made you gain 800+ lbs.

This entire story is so sad ... but most of all, the loss of that young life.

Yeah, I didn't feel any sympathy for the woman who killed a kid, it's just weird to me.. that they aren't taking her into custody, etc.

Sounds like she's a prisoner in her own house, anyway. I wonder how they got the ankle Bracelet thingy on her.

Valdez said Rosales suffers from a thyroid problem that has caused her to put on hundreds of pounds over the past three to four years and has been bedridden for more than a year.

hundreds of pounds over the past 3-4 years... no, that would be stuffing your face... not thyroid...

sorry... no sympathy.

What happens to people who get over a certain point is that they can't move around enough to burn very many calories so even normal eating can cause them to gain weight. It's a vicious cycle because the weight is causing more weight. I feel for anyone who gets in that position even if I hate them for the kid killing part.
