        Recently in Blackstone, Massachusetts,  three dead infants were found in a gruesome house. Erika Murray lived in the now-condemned single family home with her boyfriend, Ray Rivera, and the couple's children. The four living children that the state removed from the home on August 28, Murray told investigators that Rivera, 38, only knew about two of them. The other two, a 3 year old and an infant, according to the article were apparently not only born in secret but lived hidden from their father around mountains of garbage under the same roof. Now, days later, as investigators continue to search through what the Worcester County District Attorney's Office describes as the home's "deplorable conditions, massive insect infestation, mounds of used diapers and feces the case will build for court.
        It's unbelievable what crazy things go on in the world.  Especially so close to where we live.  I picked this article to talk about because recently this past weekend I was at a child's birthday party in Blackstone.  Only a mile away from this woman's house.  When we passed it there were candles on the ground for the babies that died and many news crews and police.  It was shocking to see the house that such awful things have happened inside. Its hard to believe these children lived like this, and how did the boyfriend not know that whole time what was going on?
