A Hidalgo County (far South
Texas) woman who used to weigh 1000 pounds and was dubbed “the half-ton killer”
and accused of killing her 2 year-old by
rolling onto him has asked for custody of her sister’s other kids.
Mayra Rosales received a lot of
attention, and scorn, when she was arrested in 2008 and couldn’t be transported
to or held at the jail due to her size and ailments related to her size. Investigators determined that she wasn’t
physically capable of committing the crime against the nephew and her sister
was charged and convicted of beating her own son to death.
That’s incredibly low. The sister beat her own son to death, then
blamed her morbidly obese sister for the crime.
Mayra Rosales has now lost about 800 pounds and wants to raise her
sister’s other children. Good for
her. It’s wonderful she lost so much
weight and got her life together and can now take care of the children. Hopefully she can, and the authorities can
keep her sister away from the other children.
