I'm currently serving a life sentence on the charge of murder.
Want to be my penpal?


Web site asks child-killing mom to pull ad

COLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) -- The Web site that accepted a personal ad from convicted child killer Susan Smith seeking pen pals from her prison cell asked her Friday to withdraw the ad because the result has been "kind of a freak show."

"However, if Susan wants to keep the ad, we won't force her to get rid of it," said Jason Roberts, a spokesman for the Edgewater, Florida-based writeaprisoner.com.

Roberts said Smith's online ad has gotten hundreds of responses but was becoming a distraction from the site's mission of helping other inmates make contacts in the outside world. He also said the media attention to the ad was overwhelming.

Smith, who is serving a life sentence, gained notoriety in 1994 for going on national television to tearfully plead for the return of her missing sons. She later admitted strapping 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alex into their car seats and rolling the sleeping boys into a lake.

"I hope to receive letters from those who are not judgmental and who are sincere," reads the ad, accompanied by a photo of a smiling Smith, 31, wearing sweat pants marked "SC Department of Corrections."

In the $40 advertisement, posted last month, Smith says, "I will always hurt for the pain I've caused so many, especially my children."

"I love rainbows, Mickey Mouse, the beach, mountains and waterfalls," the ad reads. "I consider myself to be sensitive, caring and kind-hearted. I'm currently serving a life sentence on the charge of murder."

The ad ends with the words: "May God bless each one of you!"

Corrections Director Jon Ozmint confirmed Friday that Smith paid for the ad with a check from her South Carolina Department of Corrections account. Prisoners often have accounts for the small amount of money they earn doing jobs behind bars.

Smith's personal life has made headlines before. Two prison guards were disciplined for having sex with Smith three years ago. One was sentenced to 90 days in jail, the other was put on probation.

Eeeerm.... i don't think so. She can expect a few nasty letters i'm afraid.

<font color=orange>Maybe she could exchange letters with the woman in Texas that murdered her 5 kids... BAD TALIESIN!!! BAD TALIESIN!!! </font>

nah, she's not my type. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Disgusting, that's all I really have to say. She pushed her car into a lake with her two boys in a child seat, strapped in, and walked away for them to SLOWLY drown as the car sank. I can't imagine the horror her kids went through before they died, and I find it unfathomable how she could walk away hearing their cries, and why? eh? All because she was cheating on her husband with another guy who told her he wanted to break it off with her because he simply did not want kids.

She easily could have divorced her husband, give him custody of the kids. she easily could have done lots of things besides what she did. She is sickening and I hope they zap her website, can't believe they even give people like her web access in the first place! Sheesh a lot of people can't even afford to have a computer, nevertheless access to the web, yet inmates like her can?!

Again, disgusting :puke1:

For those who are haven't heard of Susan Smith before:

Give her "the chair".

Uuuh-huhhh....
*walks away from thread shaking her head*

Gotta admit, I'm with LadyZ all the way on this one....not only are there folk who can't afford computers or websites, there are many out in the world who can't have children and to see someone wantonly murder their own flesh and blood like that....it's disgusting. As was stated, she could have walked away from her marriage and her children if that's what she wanted- killing them was just a twisted, sick way of dealing with her problems. :(

When you think about it, it's even more horrifying!

"She easily could have divorced her husband, give him custody of the kids. "

Why didn't she you might ask? Because she didn't want to deal with child support and visitation!!!!! The filthy #$%^& killed her kids because of inconvenience and money! She's a sociopathic freak who can turn emotion on and off at will! They should NEVER let her out! At least the woman who killed her five kids in the bathtub was insane. This peice of #$%^ is a cold, calculating child murderer! Abhorrent in even the worst circles!
