(CBS 11 News) HALTOM CITY A woman in Haltom City has been accused of setting her three daughters on fire.
The incident took place in their home, located in the 3400 block of Edith Lane. Reports indicate that 29-year-old Alysha Green, the mother, intentionally threw gasoline on her three girls.
All four suffered burns and were rushed to the burn center at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. Two of the burned daughters were transported by air ambulance.
Friends of the family said that the mother was in the process of getting a divorce from her husband, 27-year-old Adam Green.
According to John Flowers, Adam Green's stepfather, Alysha had recently been diagnosed with psychosis and refused to take her medication on some occasions.
Flowers also said that the youngest child may not survive.
Authorities have reportedly responded to the couple's home once before in May 2007 to investigate a domestic violence call. There were no allegations of abuse to the children at that time.
And, something needs to be done about the stepfather since he knew she had not been taking her meds. The only time this woman should be allowed to see her children is when they come visit her while on the other side of the glass. It's for their own safety. And, that will be a possibility given the fact that the youngest may not survive.

and ... we have come to a point when this news is too familiar. With what anguish are we to arrive at this scene? It will be but a byline in the DMN ... another sad fate filed in the archives. Tell me, TAB, how do you really feel?
Julie, please tell me who you are. I'd like to know who my readers... ok, reader is.
