With all the hoopla over the Jacks in the blog world this tragedy has flown under the radar.
The Mobile County District Attorney's Office is charging an Irvington man with four counts of capital murder in the deaths of his four children, ages three years to four months.
The body of a third child allegedly tossed from a coastal Alabama bridge by their father was found Tuesday in a Mississippi bayou, authorities said.
This isn't far from where I live, so it has really hit close to home. Supposedly he killed his children after having a fight with his wife.
The bodies of 3-year-old Ryan Phan and his 4-month-old brother, Danny Luong, were recovered over the weekend in waters a few miles west of the Dauphin Island bridge. Their father is accused of dropping them from the highest point of the span, about 80 feet above the Intracoastal Waterway, on the morning of Jan. 7. The search for bodies began the night of Jan. 8 after authorities said the father broke down and confessed.
Here are some more blog entries on the tragedy.

One thing that all these articles don't appear to address (in light of the hysteria to track home educators) is that an overwhelming majority of abuse cases involve children under school age.
Of course, politicians and powermongers are looking for ways to track these children too- hello universal preschool.
What struck me as particularly sad in this case is the relatives feared he had taken the children to sell them for drugs but they made no effort to stop him or to contact the police.
