She is a vile monster. How in the world can you suffocate your child, perform CPR to revive him, then suffocate him AGAIN???

I am sick. This bitch needs her uterus ripped out.

Glad to have you back writing, Steve.

Three years old. They can fight when necessary. How on earth could she do that to him twice? Unbelievable. Attend the vigil and memorial for the unknown baby and never shed a tear? Killed him because she didn't want him to live being uncared for? Somewhere, somehow, people have got to learn that you can't just kill someone for your own convenience.

This is such a sad story. That girl did not deserve that little boy, nor did he deserve to be with her. The only way to get past a heart-wrenching story like this is to keep him in our hearts and prayers and to know that he is now in a better place away from his monster of a mother.

here is her myspace, last log in the 19th mood Happy

This article has a real picture of the little guy. Totally adorable. It's just so senseless and heartbreaking.

The motivations behind a persons actions can never truly be deciphered. It's pointless to judge in outrage as people tend to do. We are all guilty of doing things for our own convenience because we are selfish beings. Whether she did this for the reasons she stated or out of pure selfishness, she is suffering the repercussions of her actions. I don't believe there is much point in punishing her further. Why so everyone knows about her deeds? So everyone can scorn and scoff and become DISGUSTED and OUTRAGED for what...a month? I'm sure all of you who don't even know either of these people save for reading this article will forget in a short amount of time. To judge another is to judge yourself because we're all as guilty of monstrous acts from the beginning of our existence.

Re what Oxidiz wrote that this case will be soon forgotten. Perhaps. The problem is that there are too many cases where children are murdered (as also adults). One cannot remember every single case. But that does not make this case less
horrible and painful.
I do not agree that we are all as guilty of monstrous acts.
Perhaps Oxidiz is. I certainly do not feel that I have done anything monstrous in my life.

First of all, Oxidiz3r, while many people do "selfish things" in the course of their lives, very few people suffocate, then revive, then suffocate once more a three year old child, bury the murdered child in the sand at a playground (where perhaps OTHER CHILDREN could be the ones to find the poor dead baby), and then on top of it all, the killer is no other than the child's so-called mother. You are a maniac if you think that ALL of us are guilty of "MONSTROUS ACTS". You are also a complete hypocrite. You sit there judging the people who made these comments, who are wondering aloud how a person could kill an innocent baby, yet you yourself state, and therefore, judge, "So everyone can scorn and scoff and become disgusted and outraged". Are you effin kidding me? A crime like this does disgust and outrage me...and so do people like you who try to minimize such crimes with your "everyone has demons" BS.

I may not personally like children, but no child ever deserves to have an adult harm it in any way.
Children are defenseless and know no hate towards anything or anyone. I do not understand the mind set of a person that could hurt a child let alone kill one.
This bitch will be getting it too good if she's not put in general population.

Disgusting.

i hate her.

You know what gets me? I'm an adoptive parent and there are so many of us out here who would have taken that little boy and loved him with all of our hearts. I read somewhere that this mom killed her son so he wouldn't grow up unloved like the mom was....
That cycle could have been broken so easily. This mom could have found healing in placing this child with a loving family and kept in contact. But instead, she chose to kill him. It just breaks my heart. I so wish there was a way to reach people like this and give them an "out" from parenting that doesn't involve DSS or any of that "reunification" bullcrap. Sometimes people just shouldn't be parents, plain and simple.

You people can hate this women all you want, but the fact of the matter is that we are ALL capable of doing something like that, whether you want to admit it or not. It's as much a part of human nature to destroy as it is to care and create. So please get off your high horses and get off Oxidiz's back.

Obviously this kind of hideous crime causes revulsion, as well it should. But the pure vitriolic bile that many of you people are spouting is- given the lack of information regarding the woman's mental state at the time of the murder- purely reactionary. You all make it sound like she enjoyed killing her child. I highly doubt that's the case.

As horrid as this crime is, final judgement should really be held back until more information is forthcoming.

By the way, JA, thank you for contributing a post that avoids the self-righteous attitude everyone else here seems to have. They should take some notes.

this is soo sad.. for those of you who are trying to defend her in saying we're all capable of this... and blaming it on her mental state, obviously she was aware of right & wrong, because she felt remorse, she revived him!!! only to did it again and for that she deserves to be punished... & I personally don't think life in prison is enough or death!... this woman should be put in a solitary cell wallpapered with her baby's picture so she never ever forgets what she did, after time she should be put to death.. she should be suffocated then revived and suffocated again!!!

Jason,

what makes you doubt she enjoyed doing it when she actually did it twice?

I am not saying I know the state of mind she was in. Neither do I believe in the death penalty. And I do believe we are probably all capable of killing depending on the circumstances.

But I do as well believe that no one needs to be a judge or a psychiatrist to understand that killing your own toddler twice is dead wrong no matter what. High horses? Even if she had left him anwhere he would at least have had a chance to survive.

I am in no way defending what this woman did to her child. At the very least, she needs to be punished to the fullest extent of the law, DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES. To state that she deserves to be tortured in exactly the same way her child died is irresponsible in the extreme.

If she's nuts, she needs to be put away in a mental institution for study and possible rehabilitation. If she's truly a sociopathic killer- like many of you in this thread are implying- she needs to be locked up in prison. Regardless, no amount of justice that society can pile on her is going to equal the torture she will be putting herself through for the rest of her life.

I'd bet a year's worth of paychecks that this woman in no way, shape, or form was sadistic enough to enjoy throttling her child to death. The evidence presented so far indicates that she felt great remorse while the act was taking place. How many similar cases have we seen over the last 20 years? A woman kills her child/children, and in a fit of insane reasoning justifies it by claiming she was only sending them to a better place. That's exactly what this particular case is shaping up to resemble.

What most of you seem to be missing is the fact that this woman, like Casey Anthony, effectively killed her child to punish her own parents. She's throwing a pity-party by saying "I didn't want my child to grow up unloved LIKE ME." See who the focus of attention ("real victim") is supposed to be?
I admit I am capable of murder under the right circumstances, but it would be where I'm defending myself or a loved one, not suffocating a helpless child because I want to get back at someone else for being "mean to me". So, yeah, I'll judge bitch. Try an' stop me.

Jason, you are teed off that people here are shocked, angry, and outraged at a woman who killed her child in a drawn-out and grueling manner? Yes, your ire is not misdirected at all...

Well said, Nancy.

This woman was too busy feeling sorry for herself to have any kind of empathy for killing her baby...twice.

Thanks for clarifying, Jason. I got it on second try.

I hope you're right but I am not sure about the "torture" she will be putting herself through. I wonder if anyone capable of real remorse is capable of comitting such an act in the first place. Namely killing a loved one without the circumstances of self defense or life threatening conditions. Maybe I just can't imagine how on earth anyone would get to such a point.

Of course we don't know her specific circumstances but I think if she was "sane" she had a choice. Therefore I do agree to some extend with Nancy about the pity party part. Even after a very bad decision (or two) Tiffany's focus does not seem to be on the baby but on herself.

I THINK SHE NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE NO MATTER IF SHE IS INSANE NOW I DONT BELIEVE IN THE DEATH PENTALTY I DO AGREE SHE SHOULD BE LOCKED UP IN A PATTED CELL WITH HER BABYS PICTURES EVERYWHERE THIS WOMEN BRINGS SHAME TO AMERICA TO MOTHERS AND THATS NOT RIGHT

I will always continue to remember that little 3yr. old baby boy. I will never forget him he will continue to be in my prayers. Rest in Peace my baby angel. His with the Lord Jesus Christ. Love Always Johanna

As I read the story if she had remorse why didn't she come forward when the news broke about her son being found? She knew he was buried in the sandbox. Another thing that confuses me is her family and friends came forward with how she treated the little boy thats why she didn't have a place to live well it was too late about the mistreatment after his death if someone had reported it then he may have had a different fate than what has happened. I can understand her parents wanting her to move out but she had a 3 year old child and no where to go so I couldn't have made her leave in that situation, killing reviving and killing again that is how serial killers usually do not saying shes a serial killer but just as sick as one can be.

I agree with Nancy, this woman is trying to make herself the victim... there was a history of her abusing her son, that was the reason why she was kicked out of where she was staying, they said there were times she wouldn't feed him... she flat out said she didn't want him. I think she felt if she no longer had him, then maybe her life would be a little easier, she knew what she was doing.. she has no remorse!!! even more proof she has a myspace she logged into 4 days after killing him & her mood was happy how can you be happy after killing your own child??... this woman was heartless. in any case of parents killing their own kids (insane or not), they deserve the most extreme punishment! I don't see how you can take it so lightly (Jason) "If she's nuts, she needs to be put away in a mental institution for study and possible rehabilitation" she's beyond help now! She needed to be helped before she did this.

I also agree with LSUTIGER if she was feeling guilty, or if she was putting herself through any "torture" she would turned herself in... more than a week passed with the story on the news all day everyday asking people to come forward and she said nothing!.... she feels no remorse, and if is showing any now its only because she wants to be seen as the victim.. she tried to kill herself after she was arrested probably because she knows the other inmates are just waiting to get thier hands on her... Hell give any REAL mother 10 minutes alone with her... NO child deserves that... and no one should get off or get a lighter sentence on an insanity plea for something like this..

sick b*tch! Id like to give HER the same treatment she gave her toddler.

No, we are NOT all capable of killing our own children... let alone killing them twice and burying them in a playground. Anyone who thinks any parent is capable of such behavior is either not a parent at all, or is a very dangerous one.

I have no idea what motivated her, but I am pretty sure that murder is not a normal reaction to stress.

Murder is no less a crime because the victim is a child.

Something essential that helps the human species survive is the altruism that parents show for their offspring. Altruism to the point of self-sacrifice, that is considered noble behavior all over the world. For a mother [especially a mother] to neglect, abuse, and murder her child is shocking to the core of our species' values.
The ancient Greeks had the right idea for punishment-- One guy was chained to a rock. Every afternoon, an eagle would eat his liver, and during the night the liver would grow back. Try that for eternity.

How life can be so beautiful, and how life can be taken away so fast. A young mother gives birth to a handsome young son, His future that was never planned. A mother suffocates her own son with her own young hands, How life of a young mother can destroy her own future. Her freedom is taken but her son will be where there is no pain or suffering.......BYE

This was no ordinary crime. It was more than A CRIME OF PASSION. It was A DESPERATE CRIME OF COMPASSION by a very loving mother, and she needs to be exculpated and the village needs to accept its responsibility in this tragedy and set Tiffany free, and then help her to rebuild her life. THIS IS WHAT IS IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE.

The person who gave us the best criterion to judge her by in this A CRIME OF COMPASSION was Police Chief Ray Schultz. "What makes this story especially sad was when asked the reason why she took Ty's life, Tiffany said that she did not want him to grow up with no one caring about him the same way that she had grown up with no one caring about her," said Police Chief Ray Schultz, his eyes watery and his voice thick with emotion."

"The child reportedly was very healthy, very well-nourished and looked well taken care of, so there has to be something really clear for them to report," [County Attorney] Brandenburg said of Ty. This is in conflict with the claims of neglect.

There is such a thing as A CRIME OF PASSION in which a defendant is rightfully acquitted for lacking the necessary element of premeditation. In Tiffany's case, THIS IS A CRIME OF COMPASSION where the mother suffered and despaired as to what to do after losing her job, after being kicked out off her mother’s place and from a friend’s place, and then homeless and most probably hungry and without shelter sought help for her Ty and for herself. Desperate she sought help from the police, but the police turned her away.

THIS WAS A CRIME OF COMPASSION. TIFFANY MUST BE SET FREE, THE BODY OF HER SON MUST BE RETURNED TO HER FOR HER TO DECIDED AS TO HIS LAST RIGHTS AND WERE, AND THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO NEEDS TO MAKE HER WHOLE.

how could she do that to her own son?that story broke my heart a helpless im a mother myself my child is my life i cant imagine how she didnt have a heart for her own son this is unbelievable i despice mothers that treat their child bad especially murdering a child for no reason!i hope she rots in jail!!

This is why I believe in abortion. She was irresponsible and was impregnated by a one night stand. The father of Ty called 97.3 kiss (local radio station) and discussed the situation on air with the morning dj's. If you know you can't be responsible and can't even take care of yourself, don't be selfish and have a baby that will suffer and pay for the mistakes of their parents.

1776_Observer, I know that animals will protect their young even if it means the mother's death. If the animals young is sick or will not survive for some reason the mother will kill her young in order to protect her other babies. 1776_Observer, who is Tiffiny, Police Chief Ray Schultz and you to decide that this crime is justified because the world sucks and the child may not be loved enough. The child could have been put up for adoption. No, Justin not everyone is capable of killing. especially your own child. If my child were hungery and there was no food ,I would cut my arm so my child would have nourishment. In my own opinion before she bed down, she should have using birth control, that way we would not be reading about her and that sweet baby she murdered

I still think about tyrus and caylee(missing fla. girl) last night I just started crying so much for these two little kids. We might not have known these two little kids but we sure are going to remember them the next time we hug our own kids, little brother or sister, nephew or niece. My heart breaks for these two angels. Even thought they are in a better place they still deserved to have lived happy and loving lives here with us.
