Mar 31, 2008 at 10:22 am -I am a mom of three, 9 (boy) 13( boy) and 16 (girl). I had a nightmare some years ago that my daughter got hit by a car and died in my arms. I woke up sobbing, inconsolable, a wreck. It took me quite awhile to finally calm myself and get it together. I didn’t sleep anymore that night. Just having a dream of losing a child was mind blowing. How do you go on when your ex kills all 3 of your kids? How? Really, losing any child has to be impossible, but all of them? Ugh!

I am deeply sorry for the mother! I really have no words this is just tragic!

Mar 31, 2008 at 11:28 am -Michelle, I’ve had dreams of my children dying, and I always wake up in a cold sweat, hyperventilating, and crying uncontrollably. If my husband is in bed with me, he usually wakes me up before the dream ends, because my hysterics wake him, and he is kind enough to wake me as soon as he realizes I am in distress.
I have six children, and statistically speaking, if all of mine outlive me, that will beat the odds in more ways than one. I hope I never have to live through the death of a child, but if all of mine were killed at once, by a person, I would find that person, and kill them slowly, painfully, and in the most vicious manner my tiny little brain could concoct. Jail? Who the fuck cares at that point? I have six reasons for living - seven if you count my husband. But I don’t even think he could make me want to continue living if all of my babies were gone.
That poor mom! I grieve for her, knowing if I were in her shoes I would be a complete and utterly useless basket case. I hope she has a lot of friends around her to ‘watch’ her. Even someone who has never had a problem with depression in their lives can become suicidal very quickly under such horrible circumstances.

Mar 31, 2008 at 11:49 am -Just look at that guy’s smile in the photo, to me it seems kinda forced…it doesn’t really reach his eye’s does it?
Michelle and Angel, I’ve lost one baby, soon after birth. We knew he was going to pass away before he was born, and as it was he died in our arms, at two hours old. It was utterly devastating and has changed my whole life, and even my personality. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have any or all of my remaining children taken from me by some cocksucking arsehole monster. I truly think I would go insane from rage and grief, and become obsessed with hunting them down and exacting my own revenge on them…torturously, painfully…and very very slowly. I don’t think I’d even kill them, I’d keep them alive long after they were begging for death, and I’d enjoy every minute of it.
lol, think that makes me a bit of a sicko? Hee.

Its no secret that wife beaters and child abusers are cowards. The fact that he was able to hurt defenseless children who loved him no matter what he did and wasn’t able to hurt himself, doesn’t surprise me. Just proves what a spineless, gutless asshole he was.

While I feel for the mother, I can’t help but wish women would quit having children with shitheads.

Mar 31, 2008 at 12:10 pm -No, just a good mom, in my opinion. I think most of the others here would agree with me too (the moms, anyway).
P.S. If I ever wanna hurt someone, I’ll be giving you a shout, to pick your brains for any tortuous and painful ideas that I may not be able to think up on my own. *note to self - Goldenchild is an excellent source of information*

Mar 31, 2008 at 12:12 pm -You can’t always tell who’s going to turn into a shithead, though. And when a mother tries to keep a father from seeing the kids, she’s often accused of making things up just to play dirty.
I don’t understand why he was able to kill his children quite successfully, but not quite able to pull it off for himself. What, did it hurt a little too much to cut himself for real? Poor baby. Imagine how it felt for his children when he did whatever he did to them.

Mar 31, 2008 at 12:15 pm -My greatest fear is losing one of my 4 children. I have had 2 dreams about my sons dying and they both freaked me out beyond belief. I dreamed that my youngest son fell off the dock at our cottage and drowned. He was only about 5 when I had that dream and I went running into his room and scooped him up in my arms to make sure he was ok. Scared the shit out of the poor kid lol. About a month ago I had a dream that my oldest son got into his buddies car with his friends and the driver decided to street race. There was a horrific crash amd my son was trapped inside the burning car and he died. Since my son is 18 I didn’t go running into his room and scoop him up in my arms…….but I did go check on him. The next morning I told him about my dream and he rolled his eyes and said “as if I would do something that stupid mom”.
After I made the son of a bitch who killed my kids pay in the most horrific way possible, I really don’t know if I could go on with my life. I am a pretty strong person and I have seen too much human tragedy first hand and come through it only slightly warped and skewed. Losing a child would be devestating, but losing all of them at once?? I cannot imagine what would be left to live for to be honest.

Mar 31, 2008 at 12:55 pm -This is one of my biggest fears.
The mother Amy Castillo is a 42 year old pediatrician
The kids were supposed to be returned at 8:30 Sat night. instead of returning them it looks like he went to a hotel where he wouldn’t be found & drowned them instead! What a selfish assfuck! It says the mom called police promptly at 8:30 to report that he didn’t return them on time.

Mar 31, 2008 at 1:26 pm -Creeps are able to kill little, helpless children, but quail at the moment to do it to themselves. Remember the mother who doused her kids with lighter fluid and set them on fire — but not herself ‘though it was to be a group death? Self-preservation steps in — the babies fight to live and lose — the perp lets her/himself off the hook — self love is a little stronger than parental love in some cases.

Mar 31, 2008 at 2:27 pm -I don’t even have any words. Poor, poor mom. I can’t even pretend to imagine how she feels today. My husband’s aunt has lost three of her adult children in under two years. 2 girls - killed in car wrecks within a couple of months of each other in car accidents and the last one, a son, this month in March. We don’t have the autopsy results yet as to why he died. He was vomiting blood on a Saturday and refused to go to the doctor and they found him dead on Sunday.
I don’t know how she even knows her name. My mother-in-law just got back week before last visiting her. She says she’s “functioning”. Her kids all died of natural causes - not murdered by their father. Poor, Amy. I guess she would like to kick the judge and her lawyer right in the balls. I know I would.
Damn, damn and double damn. Trying to do the “right” thing for the courts - that might be o-kay, if the damn courts ever, EVER put the children above the adults. I guess, I would have been in contempt - or better still ‘gone’ to where I and my children couldn’t be found. At least the would be alive.
Poor, poor Amy.

Use a potato pealer and skin him alive.

Mar 31, 2008 at 3:35 pm -I agree with the posters who remarked that the death of one of one’s children, especially by violence, is the WORST pain I can imagine. Strike that - it’s unimaginable. I’ve had those exact nightmares you mentioned. I can still remember and the emptiness and despair I felt, just in those dreams. I’m no paragon of courage or selflessness, far from it, but I wouldn’t give a second thought to trading places with one of my daughters if someone wanted to hurt her in any way.
I think I’d survive the loss of one of my kids ONLY because I my remaining child would need me. It’s parental instinct. But if they were both snuffed out like this, I can’t say I’d be responsible for any of my actions toward myself or others thereafter.
On the other hand, I’m also one of those mental health professionals who knows that people do sometimes get truly psychotic, and commit atrocities upon those they love, fully believing they are doing the right thing (I’ll refrain from opening up a can of Yates worms). In those (RARE and ISOLATED) cases, I don’t think the psychotic person should be treated medievally.
But somehow, I don’t think that was the case here. Smells like an injured male ego lashing out, tragically. It’s not sexism if it’s true, is it? I support the wang skin graft suggestion.
I’d add some Drano to the rubbing alcohol (to prevent infection).

Mar 31, 2008 at 4:01 pm -I’m new here but I’m gonna comment. I lost a child at 22 weeks. Just because he was still in my womb doesn’t mean he was anything less than my son. I still gave birth to him, held him and buried him. I have two beautiful girls and one beautiful granddaughter and while my the thought of choking them at one time or another has crossed my mind (whose hasn’t it?), I would never ACTUALLY bring them harm.
This mother fucker should have his dick ripped off and shoved down his throat so he choke on it. Then he should be dipped by his balls into a vat of battery acid … repeatedly. Then again, this fucked up cocksucker may get off on it *eyes rolling*.

Actually, I do have to disagree that this gentleman would “get off on” anything involving his dick being ripped off. I’m sure it’s too important to him. Nah, he wouldn’t get off on it. He’d whine and cry like a… little kid.

In a court-ordered evaluation dated October 10, 2006, Dr. C. David Missar wrote, “The acute risk of harm Mr. Castillo poses to his children is low, provided he continue with his psychotherapeutic treatments. Mr. Castillo has cared for, and continues to care for, his children and expresses love and concern for them.”
Yeah the risk was obviously very low!

Mar 31, 2008 at 11:02 pm -Wow it’s not like the mom didn’t try her best.
From the article…….
That same month, Amy Castillo filed an emergency motion to suspend Mark Castillo’s access to the children, pending a psychological evaluation. She cited a number of reasons for her request, including a previous alleged abduction attempt by Mark Castillo.
Noting her experience as a physician, Castillo wrote, “I do not want to wait until something traumatizing happens to the children, in order to prove to the court that I should have taken away visitation rights earlier. … I have removed them from potentially dangerous situations, in order to avoid serious conflict.”
Last summer, Circuit Judge Michael D. Mason denied Amy Castillo’s emergency motion to end Mark Castillo’s access to the children, although he granted her request to modify his visitation schedule for the upcoming school year.

Mar 31, 2008 at 11:20 pm -But you know, whenever I have a volatile relationship with a man who has been diagonosed with serious personality issues, I DO NOT have child after child after child with him. Sounds like Daddy had a big “TROUBLE” sign on him from the start and someone chose to spread her legs without birth control and bring three innocent babies into the situation.
We all know that the very best medicine for a bad relationship — a dangerous relationship — is a needy baby. Some women need to put the penis down — and get a pair of mental eyeglasses and assess who’ve they’ve pinned their happily ever after fantasy on.

Apr 1, 2008 at 9:15 am -I agree with you. Narcissistic and histrionic don’t suddenly appear out of nowhere. They were most likely there in ‘98 when she married him. But then there are those women who fondly believe that “a baybee will bring us closer together”.
That judge is a real piece of work, though. He wouldn’t even listen to her as a physician when she just asked for a psychological assessment, oh my no, can’t do that. After all, Numbnuts here has “expressed concern” for his kids and we all know how impossible that is to fake.

Apr 1, 2008 at 12:12 pm -Quoted from article:
“More than two years ago, Amy Ashley Castillo pleaded for help in court papers, saying that her estranged husband had threatened to kill their three children to punish her by leaving her alone in the world.”
“He has never actually hurt them,” she wrote in a Montgomery County court complaint seeking a temporary protective order Christmas Day 2006. “But he did tell me that the worst thing he could do to me would be to kill the children, and not me, so I could live without them.”
I feel so sad for that mother.
She really did try to protect her kids. One of the articles yessterday said she was fined $2,500 & was found in contempt of court from keeping the kids from him one Sat. The same judge said she would be fined that amount each time she didn’t allow them to see him during visitation.
This asshole just saw his kids as material things like a house or car that he could destroy for revenge on her. And I am sure he didn’t go through with the suicide so he could watch her suffer.
It reminds me of the Manuel Gehring case from NH. I don’t even know if I remember his name correctly. He killed his kids on the 4th of July to get back at his ex-wife & buried them off the highway & “couldn’t remember where” then awaiting trial he killed himself. They ended up finding the bodies anyway.
