Kim Margaret Earle, 49, sobbed and shook as she was sentenced on Tuesday in the Brisbane Supreme Court, which heard she was of diminished responsibility when she killed her 18-year-old Brandon on the Gold Coast in 2013.

Justice Roslyn Atkinson said Brandon's interest in sadomasochism and child porn had reached the point where he wanted to kill himself following his arrest for child pornography offences and his mother couldn't see any way out.

"Essentially, you helped him to die out of your great love for him," Justice Roslyn Atkinson said as she sentenced Earle.
[....]
After already spending just over three years in custody, Justice Atkinson said Earle had suffered enough and should be released in three months.

The court heard Earle had planned to die alongside her son but had woken up from an attempted overdose and made several other unsuccessful attempts to kill herself.

She now suffers from memory loss after undergoing electric shock therapy and has to be reminded of what she has done.

Asked if she had anything to say after pleading guilty, Earle spoke of her love for her son.

"I loved him very much. It was a privilege to be his mum," she said.
[....]
When police raided their home in December 2013, he clashed violently with police and Earle feared what he would do when he was released.

She took a taxi to the Gold Coast University Hospital, where she worked as a nurse, donned scrubs, and stole drugs and equipment from a controlled-medication store.

After spending the night crying, she collected her son from the watchhouse and when they got home, he tried to find a knife to carry out his plan to kill himself.

That's when she told him she could help.

Brandon wrote four pages of final words and was given a fatal overdose while lying on his bed.

Earle covered his body with a sheet and placed a frangipani on top of it.
[....]
Earle has been in custody for three years and three months, and has undergone treatment for depression and anxiety.

Justice Atkinson ordered she be released from jail on May 28 to live with her mother and sister in NSW.

"It is time you got out of custody," Justice Atkinson said.

"You have had more than your fair share of suffering."
 
is this real ... seriously ??? Like he never tried to kill mother because all her fault?
Or did he write this letter at gun point ... shoot him self up at gun point too. Wow !
 
wow, this is one case where it's like she did the right thing. WTF is up with the Gold Coast?
 
I found it was a lot better when I thought she killed him because he was a pedophile. Now I feel like she killed him to help get him out of the punishment he was facing for being a pedophile? I'm still confused by how that whole story reads... either way, sad for the mother.
 
Regardless, there is one less pedo in the world, so good for her. How hard it must have been to kill her own son though. I feel for her.
 
That poor woman should never have been in "Custody" at all. Don't worse offenders get ankle bracelets and get home arrest and pizza and Netflix or something? Plus, "Electric shock Therapy?" WTAF Gold Coast??? Is it still 1960 there?? Why not just give her a lobotomy ya fucking barbarians! Now she gets to relive the horror of finding out that she killed her son over and over, thank you very fucking much! :mad:

"More than your fair share of suffering" Ya think? Then WHY are you making her wait another 3 months you retard? :fish:Someone finally does the "right" thing with their pedo kid and you torture her for it. Bravo, ya idgit.

(Yes, I know that ECT is still used but I disagree with said use - before anyone tries to explain the subtle nuances of running electricity through a person's head. Because that's a perfectly reasonable and logical thing to do. You know, like leeches, trapanning and other brilliant ideas humans have thought up)
 
The real victim here is his victim.
At least he is dead so can never harm again.

Mum did the right thing albeit sloppily.
Going to live in NSW is also an excellent punishment I guess.
Perhaps with the electroshock she can forget it all.
 
We need more parents who are willing to take care if the problems they brought into this world.
 
Wow. (They had me at "electroshock therapy" -- wtf is going on over there?)

So the charge, his charge, was viewing child pornography online, is that (not that that isn't horrible enough) is that the extent of her proof that he was a pedophile? The article says it was due to her concerns "after he showed an interest in sadomasochism and child porn."
Separate and different sites? One regarding S & M and one child porn? This just doesn't tell us enough to see what was really bothering Ms. Earle.

Viewing child porn is very much the atrocity it's made to be; if no one looked at it, nobody would make it and thus destroy thousands of innocent lives, so I don't make light of the charge. It's just that.... I thought he'd been caught (by her, I don't know why I thought that but I did) sexually abusing a child. Or I thought it had come to light and he'd confessed to same.
I'd think he could've plead sort of an "I was curious" deal... I don't know. But suicidal? I just don't believe he was. The only proof we have is HER saying he "went to get a knife to kill himself."

So she knew he was going to these sites. From the article:
"She feared he would be arrested and he vowed to stab himself to death if he was ever caught." She's no hero, or she'd have stopped him when he was viewing child pornography. She only showed an interest at stopping him when he'd been caught.
Just no. He didn't sound a bit suicidal to me. I think the issue was how could she handle it if he were charged, how would it affect her, etc. Why else would he promise her he'd "stab himself to death if caught?" I don't think he said that, either. I think a crazy woman raised a crazy kid. End of.

So this otherwise-healthy 18-year-old just sat there, long enough to write four pages of whatever, waiting to die?
Bet he had no idea she'd poisoned him.
Also:
What about the dog, did he "need to" be put down, too?
This woman is just batshit insane and I'm glad she's down in Australia because I wouldn't feel safe if she were on the same continent as me. "Did it out of love" my ASS.
