EXCLUSIVE: Videos of Sarah Lynn Augustine revealed

A video still show of Sarah Lynn Augustine wit her daughter, Rachael Vigilant (now deceased).

Videos recorded and uploaded on Youtube by Sarah Lynn Augustine shows her giving hair and beauty tips and one in which she  performs a hairstyle on her daughter Rachael Vigilant, one of her daughters she is accused of killing on Sept. 16, 2010.

Augustine has been charged with the murder of Rachael, 5, and two-month-old Sophia Vigilant who were found slashed to death at their Mahaut home.

Her channel on the video sharing site, called 1Mezmerize, was created about one year ago and last visited one month ago. Most of the recordings were done in Canada where she resided.

The last video was shot in Dominica with her giving brief updates on her time in Dominica which she says she is enjoying a lot.

“Hey it’s Mesmerise…hmm… I haven’t had a blog in a long, long time and that’s because I am not in Canada anymore. I am on vacation in Dominica. And hmm so far it’s going good. I am enjoying myself  a lot.

She told her viewers that she has gained a lot of weight, which she does not like, describing her shape as one gone from a “coke bottle to a coke can”.

Augustine also spoke about missing her family and friends in Canada.

“I miss my family and my friends a lot in Toronto and I wish that I could spend more time with them. I know it sucks cuz when I was there I didn’t spend a lot of time with them, but now that I am not, and I am down here, I am missing them a lot and I missing going out and having fun with them,” she said.

The videos were submitted to Dominica News Online by a radio.

    Its so sickening for people to be quick to judge someone. When they say estranged boyfriend, it means they aren’t on good terms! PDD is very serious and in the middle of everything with dealing with that, things went sour with her relationship with the father. Having PDD and fighting with the father of your chidren and especially after giving birth can out a awful mentally and emotional burden on you. My son was born MAy of 2008 and his father and I broke up the beginning of Sept of 08 and I was going thu PDD and it was very hard on me. I would never hurt my children, but did a lot of mental damage to myself in the process because of a waiting time to get the help I needed I suffered quite a lot! People have no f**ckun clue!

    @Tainted: Thank you for responsing to my comment. I do empathize with you regarding the wrong behaviours you were exposed to by some muslims. You must admit as well that people from all walks of life do heinous things as well. Therefore, to blame Islam is simply unfair for the misdeeds of some people. It seems as if the western media loves to pick on Islam when the subject of terrorism is raised, on the other hand, I looked up christian terrorism last night on http://www.wikipedia.org (type christian terrorism) then you will see the recent activities by christian terrorists which were foiled in the nineties as well as up in 2010. Unfortunately, the media never highlighted the term christian terrorists. Did these people get media publicity? No!

    Secondly, besides western crusaders who made up an excuse to invade the muslim lands for wordly pursuits thus muslims are forced to fight back as it’s their fundamental right to do so, muslim lands are very peaceful. We pride ourselves in creating a conducive society for the worship of Allah and healthy social intercourse. Also, our capital punishments are deterrents for crimes thus stealing, adultery etc are very low when a government has to manage for e.g Iran 70 million people. What is the rate of divorce and adultery in Dominica? This year divorce is 1 in 2 marriages, isn’t it time for a cultural revolution? Are you satisfied with this post colonial capitalist system? Are you satisfied with Dominica’s economy? Our people are not using the resources Allah gave them; utilize it for secondary production. Dominica consumes way more than it produces which is very sad. Mark my words, things are getting worse in this country. You see right now the people are calling for implementation of hanging due to the murders here? It is a natural disposition in the human being to want justice. Many people are taking the law into their own hands because we have an unjust system.

    You mentioned about submission. There is nothing wrong with submission. Christ submitted to God didn’t he? It seems to me you don’t agree with Christ peace be onto him. Christ never taught christianity, it was Paul’s idea. Christ (p) said he came to submit to the will of the one who sent him. If one doesn’t submit to God, one is going to submit to something other than God.

    May Allah guide you to Islam. Please research islam at http://www.al-islam.org. This is between you and Allah Glory be to Him in the Highest.

    @eyes on dominica: Could you kindly show me in the Holy Quran where it suggest to kill people who do not believe in Islam please? On the contrary Allah says, ‘There is no compulsion in religion. True stands clear from falsehood. Whoever disbelieves in false gods then believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks.’ Chapter 2:256. Do you know the circumstances surrounding that revelation? It was when the Holy prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was asked ‘O prophet, we are muslim but our wives and children are jews and christians how should we deal with this?’ This is the reason why the verse was revealed. This is the issue, many Dominicans do not read and understand about Islam. Again I suggest the site http://www.al-islam.org, there is a lot to learn.

    Just a Gwopwel. Gwopwel is as old as sex itself. So long people getting Gwopwel in Dominica they never commit such evil.

    Crazy? So many crazy people in Dominica and most of them have children, never commit such evil.

    Who is crazy is the psychologist and others who think she is crazy. She just did this evil because she can. That’s it. Maybe she couldn’t get to the father so under her gwopwel she just went home and did this, then play mad and crazy afterwards. That’s how most criminals and murderers behave after they do a killing, or two.

    @Muslim_Always:

    To you I’m totally in agreement with the first part of your response. However we as Dominicans do not need a culture revolution. I am farmiliarizing myself with the (Koran,quran), the fatwa and all of Islams teaching. I respect every culture, every religion. I remember during 911, I’m not sure if you are familiar with this event. During the time of that disaster I managed a business for this muslim and I was so amazed by what they preached and how submissive their wilves are. However that changed during the event of 911. As soon as the news came on the air that a plane had hit the towers they were rejoicing, laughing and knelt to the ground prayed calling Alla to finish the JOB. Dominicans do you know what the word ISLAM means. It means submissive. Doing what ever you are told to do by teaching of the prophet Mohammad. The koran your bible is misinterpreted by you. Do you think Dominicans can tolerate some of these hainous crimes that you all comit against your own people. Like stoning a woman to death for comiting adultery or crushing a kids hand because her was hungry and stold food? This young girl that I know was invlove with a muslim man who was married she wanted a future he would not set her free so she dicided to date another man, she was found with her head shaved the hair stuffed in her mouth beaten to death and hanging on a verander so everyone can see. not forgetting the young lady in the states who was run over by her muslim Dad because she was too Americanized. I could go on and on of the horror stories that muslims carry out…. the bobming. These are far more horrible than what we already have to deal with. I love you guys but .. I hate your teaching.

    @Lizavier4Jesus:

    What is there to analyze about the videos???

    I will say it again if you were a true christian you would not be here posting comments but keeping prayer meeting,praying for your country and yes sometimes I hate Dominicans as they are to quick to jump to judgement.

    And please enlighten me as to when and where I said that I was without sin……..No man is without sin just ask Bishop Eddie Long who claimed to be a man of GOD.

    I do forgive Sarah,because who am I to judge her if you knew your bible so well you would know that only GOD can judge.Who knows where we will all end up,no one knows what made her snap or if she did it intentionally but hey everyone wants to sit in front of a computer screen and analyze.

    ANALYSE WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR HOME FRONT
    ANALYSE THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE FAMILY MEMEBERS WHO ARE GOING ASTRAY
    ANALYSE THAT FACT THAT YOUR DAUGHTERS,SISTERS,COUSIN AND FRIENDS GOING OUT WITH MARRIED MEN,FORNICATING,COMMITING ADULTRY AND HAVING ABORTIONS.
    ANALYSE YOUR YOUNG MEN BECOMING DRUG ADDICTS, DRUG DEALERS AND KILLERS.

    I think if everyone took the time out to clean out their own backyard we would not even be having this discussion now…But NO we so busy minding our neighbour business that we not seeing our children going by the wayside …or NO we so greedy that we cannot tell our sons that we don’t want their blood money in our house…

    SO lavierforjesus If you want to tell someone that their comments are full of Vanity I suggest that you take a long hard look at your self in the mirror and ask yourself could I be doing more for my country rather than chatting shiet on DNO.I suggest that you call a prayer meeting and pray against SATAN and his minions taking over our country.

    Please pray for this sinner at church on Sunday.
    And please note that I can google words as well.

    Dear Sarah,
    your sister inlaw living on st lucia, Your children father brother’s wife,
    God forgives you, and we all forgive you.
    we are praying for you and we know that satan is loose,
    and he come to kill, steal and destroy which was lost,
    so my sister you need to call on god and ask for forgiveness,
    cause there’s forgiveness for you.
    i’ll be praying for you,
    anytime am in dominica i’ll come visit you,
    much love.

    @DUMMY-IN-CAN

    I do not know who you think that you are, but you identify yourself to me by your name and the expressions of your comments.

    Now, did you realize that you played God, by judging me, reminding me that “Jesus forgives” as if I need to know this from you, as you went on to condemn me, I suppose, and the rest of us of all kinds of sins. Right after you commanded someone else or every one of us, “not to play God”.

    Also, after your mind is completely conformed to “HATING DOMINICANS” as you talked about in another of your posts, how do plan to forgive just like Jesus did? But I do not need an answer. I am just pointing out the stupid contradictions of your mind.

    The Jesus in my name is Jesus Christ, the Son of the One True God, who has awakened my soul by the quickening of His Holy Spirit. He does teach to me to perceive wickedness in the human mind, as He searches and cleanse my own, which is the reason I would not speak as foolish as you do. And He is certainly is not the god that you are talking about, for He would not teach you to boldly and proudly express that “all have sinned” except yourself?

    Your postings are nothing but futility to me. But just in case you do not know what futility means, as you call yourself “DUMMY” I will say it in another way. Your postings are just vanity, they are meaningless to me; that is why they so clearly present a portrait of you, according to the name you give to yourself. Perhaps you are jealous that you were not able to analyze the videos of Sarah the way the person named “definitely narcissistic” and myself were able to do it .

    As my name suggests i have a soft spot for kids. But>>>>>>>>>I do believe that everyone should be forgiven for their crimes and judged by God himself!!!
    Would i forgive her for her crimes against those beautiful children…..maybe….would i watch her drink battery acid and then let her lie in a niche of african meat eating ants…..*smiles*…..maybe…..so i’m not saying that this lady should not be forgiven but her crimes should not be forgotten!!!

    @true: exactly. pray for this woman. Before anyone casts stones at her.. find out what was wrong. and instead of all the negative publicity help her and her family to go thru this! We all have ‘bad stuff we have done and things we regret. don’t condem this lady, the justice system is already going to do that. Jah called his angels, sad that it was in that way but he did maybe to get help for this MOM who had none! remember the outward appearance is very decieving!

    @Exposed.: You have become my new friend…….Life is really funny eh.The same people who were calling Munga a savior are calling Sarah the devil.She did an evil thing and yes she should be punished but don’t you think you people are taking things a bit too far.

    What does having a Mom and Dad for a pastor have to do with anything.You people just cannot help yourselves always have to drag someones family into a situation.Don’t you think they are going through enough already.

    A man lost his two daughters
    A woman lost her life and took the life of her two children.
    A grandmother lost her daughter and granddaughters
    I could go on and on about how many lives are affected by this.

    Instead of reflecting on your life and trying to help someone else not go through this ever again, we sit behind our computer screens and cast judgement on things we do not have any understanding of.

    Only in Dominica a vagrant or a person with mental disabilities is called wicked ! And people asking why did she not cry out for help.Would any of you have helped out?!!!!!No so shut the PHUCK up.Starting to piss my Arse off…So many young women Dominica doesn’t have anything to feed their children and no one cares or helps instead all you will ask for something in return.

    NARROW MINDED FOOLS.

    NO ONE IS MAKING EXCUSES FOR HER…BUT I DO FEEL SORRY FOR HER….AS I CAN NOT UNDESTAND WHAT MADE HER DO IT BECAUSE SOMEONE IN THIER RIGHT MIND WOULD HAVE STOPPED WHEN THE BABY STARTED SCREAMING.

    LEAVE HER FOR GOD AND THE STATE TO DEAL WITH HER AND MEND YOUR LIVES…CAUSE LORD KNOWS SOME OF YOU JUST CAME FROM SLEEPING WITH MARRIED MEN.

    The Lord,have the power to stop bad things from happening but sometimes he allows bad things to happen all because he have a reason.it may be a wake call to acknowledge him as our Lord and personal savior,we may be running away like a fugitive and he is calling us to come back to him,we may be living a life that is not pleasing him and he have been warning and we are not hearing,and suddenly something happens and we have to surrender and give him a listening ear.like the prodigal son we return in shame yet he forgives us and make us a new creature.we all have sin one way or the other.father forgive us and hear our prayer deliver us from every evil every wrong we have committed especially with this little member {OUR TONGUE.}.i do not need no conflict here whether you like it or not let us pray for Sarah and her family ,let us pray for our children, let us pray for our community our nation,our country. let us pray for the world’s unity.may the LORD have GRACE , MERCY ,and COMPASSION on all of us.we all have fallen short if we do not learn,receive,and hear-the word of God,we will not enjoy the peace of God.BEVERLY- GERTRUDE- LANNS- HENRY.MAHAUT

    In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

    Peace be onto the prophet Muhammad, his purified household and the righteous companions.

    Firstly, hearing about this tragic murder was very saddening as a muslim in Dominica. No matter what creed or way of life one practices it is universally accepted that killing an innocent life is wrong in the eyes of God/Allah. We must remember this fact and unite on this my people.

    Secondly, it is good that people from diverse backgrounds can comment, vent their feelings, share their experiences. We thank DNO for this great column for feedback and freedom of expression. However, we must express ourselves with compassion, justice and love.

    Thirdly, on the day of judgement, these sweet innocent voices will ask for what reason was I killed? This question is from a verse in the Holy Quran. It was revealed in pre-islamic era when pagan arabs used to bury their daughters alive. Many people judge Sarah because her deeds became public. Allah may forgive Sarah in this life and/or on judgement day but our evil deeds in secret which are worse than Sarah’s, will be be forgiven on Judgement day? The question is, how many of you perform abortion/s in secret? It may be argued that Sarah MAY have been insane at the time of the incident or she may have been her ‘wicked’ self. On the other hand, how many men cover the finances or coerce their wives or girlfriends to abort their unborn children due to materialistic and selfish interests? How many women in our Dominican society who consciously abort their unborn fetus for wordly gain and selfish purposes? These planned murders are behaviours far worse than what Sarah has done; the only difference is Sarah’s issue became public. Many people say judge not or you will be judged, however, it says that by their fruits you will know them says the bible. In islam, we believe that only Allah knows what the hearts conceal. Allah also says in the quran that anyone who does an atoms weight of good or bad will see it. So, no matter what we say or do, no one knows what was in the depths of the heart of Sarah the night her two children were murdered only the Lord of the Universe. However, we say that these actions are very evil actions. May Allah protect our people from these acts.

    Oh Sarah, if you were truly suffering from mental illness my sister in humanity, I pray for Allah’s mercy onto you. I pray that He may heal you of your sickness. Amen.

    Oh Sarah, if you intentionally murdered your innocent children, may Allah deal with you in the way He sees fit. To Him will I plead regarding these innocent little one’s cases.

    To her family, I do not know you or Sarah. I only heard about her in the news. I know that you all are the talk of the town and you all are suffering, still going through the psychological and spiritual challenges of healing. You may be the talk of the town, may Allah get you all through this. This must be very hard for you.

    TO OUR YOUNG MEN IN SOCIETY. I consider myself an aspiring young man. My father never took care of me, however, my mother raised me up with nurturing and compassion. She never abused me, she showed me love. All praises be to Allah, I can shower my wife with that love. I have 1 handsome son and another son on the way. I chose NOT to be like my father. I WILL shower them with love, justice, compassion, good upbringing and mercy God’s willing. WE MEN must take up our responsibilities and be patient in it. Our women are too oppressed in Dominica. We must be there for them in each and every way we can. We must be like a container for their tears and sorrow. We must help them, pray with them when they are down. I will share with you my story of my encounter with a girl right here in Dominica who wanted to kill her only son. I have told that to no one but I will share so that our young men can take note.

    Coincidentally, my very good friend’s name is Sarah. I met her whilst she was at her last year of high school. She seemed rather quiet and reserved. We exchanged telephone numbers. In our conversations as trust developed she told me that she was pregnant. She complained that she has no support from the father of the child. All praises to Allah, she had a successful delivery of a lovely baby boy. However, there was one problem, she complained of his father not taking care of him, of course she is not working thus she was very stressed. One midnight about 1a.m I received a call from my cell phone. When I saw her name and number, my instinct told me something was wrong, I picked up the phone ‘ba-zo-dee’, she sounded depressed and sad. I thanked her for calling, asked her to hold on so that I may wash my face. Eagerly, I came back to the phone because I was concerned about Sarah. She told me she tried to suffocate her son with a pillow but she stopped. She said all she could see at the time was the child’s father she hated so much. My brothers and sisters in humanity, it’s a good thing I have a great counselling book which I read thoroughly and I learnt a few counselling techniques. I resorted to listening to Sarah and exploring her feelings. I used reflective statements and empathy to indicate understanding. After I felt a sigh of relief in Sarah’s voice after hours of actively listening and empathizing with her, I suggested positive ways of looking at her situation. I asked her to permit me to share with her a true story. I related the account of Jesus’ mother peace be with her from the Holy Quran and her challenges of pregnancy and child birth. After our talk, Sarah was very relieved, she thanked me so much for listening to her and making her feel that someone genuinely cares for her. Today, she and her son are well in the United States of America. They are making a life for themselves. When she talks about her son, she talks about him with love and admiration. She has pictures of him at his graduation and many normal beautiful pictures that clearly shows that Sarah loves her son. All praises be to Allah, one infant was saved. Allah says in the quran, if you kill one person it is as if you have killed all of mankind. If you save one life it is as if you have saved all of mankind. Today, she is looking into Islam a religion though propaganda has tried to destroy it, more people are inquiring and becoming muslims, all praise be to Allah.

    Now this is one true story. There are many women who are going through this in Dominica. Women, you know yourselves and men, who are at their women’s side can attest to these realities. Post natal depression is extremely real and it has levels. Mental illness is a serious condition and is very real. We use slogans like cra-zee, nuts and freaky to indicate something cool and this is ok within it’s social context, however, the depth of mental illness is deeper than the 7 oceans of the world combined.

    The question is at the time why didn’t I call the police or a shrink for Sarah? The reason is in Dominica we have a negative view about psychiatric help. Anytime someone goes there, there is a social stigma attached to that person for life. Some of us think that the psychiatric hospital gives patients expired medication. We hate the serious side effects the medication has on patients. We have no confidence in our police officers, the law and our ‘experts’ in Dominica. As a result, these views impacted me greatly so I chose to help her instead. This was a serious risk I took because if she had killed her son, the burden on my shoulders would have been very high. Why have I lost confidence in our system? It is because I do not see justice, order and compassion coming from these systems. I feel very greatly that our systems have failed our people time and time again. As I become more informed my views are beginning to change. It took me Islam to shape my mind set. Everyone in the system cannot be the same. The terrorists who have hijacked the islamic slogan, bombing in the name of God are not the same as those who co-exists with others in our society. Many muslims come to Dominica to study every year at our medical univeristies. They contribute to our economy and are peaceful people. So to, there are compassionate counsellors in our society. Therefore, what I’ve chosen to do is to build a great network of friends in these field of expertise so that I can immediately refer a young person to them God’s willing the chance arises again.

    To deal with these issues I propose the following:

    1. ‘The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom’ says the bible. Allah says in the Holy Quran, ‘Whoever fears Allah, He opens ways for him where the human being least expect it.’ The first article of the consitution states that God is the supreme ruler of this country or our motto is ‘Apres bondie c’est later.’ Based on these claims we need to revisit a revolutionary approach to scriptures. Going to church, playing music and ‘christian’ youth groups are not enough. The hollywood cinema and the North American lifestyle has invaded our country. This needs to be combated with deep spiritual discussions with all theological schools on all fronts; that needs to be done on a national level and very often. It is not long before I propose this as I am still doing my research in application of comparative theology in the 21st century. In short, the fear and respect of God needs to illuminate the hearts of our people.

    2. Examine other cultures where the crime rate is low. Assess how they deal with crimes and whether these principles are applicable to our nation. What are the ways to curb and prevent these disturbing behaviours. Why has their been close to 20 unsolved murders either last year or 2008? Where have we gone wrong as a nation? We must use our media to get the message across, we must have rallies and public speeches. We must utilize various parks in our country like Hyde park in the UK for speeches of different type. A great idea for social intercourse.

    3. Pressure must be placed on the government to address this issue of crime. They must be engaged in discussion. All parties must play their role in upgrading forensics in our country to prosecute criminals effectively. Too many criminals are freed due to lack of evidence. We must allow the government to understand that they have a responsibility of creating a safe atmosphere because we want foreigners to visit our nature isle as well as, we want tranquility.

    4. An examination into our theological, economical, historical, psychological, sociological and other outlooks on crime. How are they interrelated to crime in Dominica. What are the deep rooted causes.

    I may not have all the answers however a few humble suggestions. We need a SERIOUS CULTURAL REVOLUTION. I ask our people to LOOK INTO ISLAM AS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY OF LIFE. Please do research about islam on many fronts http://www.al-islam.org. It is a site loaded with lectures, thousands of books on many topics in different languages. I assure you, there are great benefits there God’s willing.

    Thank you so much for reading. May Allah pass his healing hands on Dominica.

    Your brother in humanity

    i understand we don’t kno her mind and her heart JINX but in situations like these we can use our discression. Who knows she could be going through some phases we don’t kno. we were not leaving with she and her boyfriend to kno exactly what transpired between them that is why she did this but before we do something we need to think of the consequences behind it first before doing it. we dominicans jus act to fast towards a situation. we need to sit and think of what would be the outcome after we do it. If we believe in giving devotion to god, praying to him everyday and asking him for his protection we would be better off people but we do without using our head and regret after when it’s too late. I feel sorry for her because in the future when she think back as to what happen to her two beautiful kids thats something that is going to hunt her for the rest of her life. I WILL DEFINITELY KEEP HER IN MY PRAYERS AND WISH HER BEST OF LUCK IN COURT. MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU MS AUGUSTINE.

    The would call your a MORDARA

    Because your father wasn’t a pastor. Your mother not a pastor. And Mr. Weekes not close to your family.

    Sarah herself would be posting a BLOG about you and what happening in Dominica on You Tube.

    sHE WOULD be malpalaying you on DNO if it was you that had committed that crime.

    I hope this will open up our eyes… We need to be more aware of mental illness and how it affects our friends and family. Whether or not she is mentally stable is debatable, but these things do happen. And instead of reaching out to help, we tend to ridicule people or bad talk them. We need to realize that mental illness is as serious and as real as physical disabilities. We also need to open up our minds here in Dominica and stop being so ignorant to the fact that life is still going on outside of this country and there are a vast number of experiences that we have not been party to but soon will. Let’s make an effort, in light of this controversy, to each try a little harder to sympathize with someone else’s circumstance and learn something that we didn’t know yesterday.

    HINDSIGHT.
    Understanding the nature of an event after it has happened.

    HINDSIGHT BIAS:
    The inclination to see events as more predictable after they have happened. This could be due to added evidence or the formation of perceived patterns in the brain.

    It seems every commentator on this page WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO stop it before it happened… It’s almost funny but that’s how the mind works…
    It is disappointing to read comments on this site. People are busy “throwing talk” for *Sarah Lynn Augustine* or arguing with each other…smh. A country with a literacy rate like Dominica’s and people cannot get beside their attitudes for long enough to see the truth of the situation:

    It is a tragic event. However, no one commenting here knows her life. No one will ever understand her way of thinking or encounter obstacles as she did. We might have heard something or seen something, but we were not her friends and we were not her family. Most of all, we are not her.
    So, indeed, the act is cruel. It is evil and obviously fueled by evil yet passionate emotions. Overall, it is wrong.
    As far as her verdict, that will be decided by the magistrate in a court of law.

    Just remember that no matter how man may prosecute her, Jah is the Chief Justice and her real sentencing is yet to come.

    I go on YouTube to watch tutorials and blog everyday and some of them are really informative, do you know that you can get info on just about anything on there? So are all these people NARCISSIT or have Histrionic Personality Disorder?
    As I said before everyone is trying to be a psychologist.I think the only one who knows what was going through Sarah’s mind at the time is GOD.

    And guess what if and when she asks for forgiveness he will give it,Please note that no one sin is greater than the other.PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT TRYING TO JUSTIFY WHAT SHE HAS DONE!!!! I just think that dummy in a cans are fast to give judgement when they have dirty and filthy back yards.
    How many of you have had abortions and not the one with the famous doc but the one with the Zahlen Pawasol?Are you aware that this is a sin??? that you are taking a life????

    Sarah will get her craylings for what she has done but for people to say she needs to go to hell for this do you know where you will end up?

    People can u all please open all u mind and eyes. Please follow the seasons.During the month september to october the devil wants human blood as a sacrifice. look at halloween which Americans follow innoscently.During those times the devil is worshiped by those in the ocult and whitches.the enemy is hungry and searches for volnourable humans.This is the time wen strange deaths such as murders and others will be heard of. As u can already see because it is a time for innoscent blood to be shed for the devils use.Also The devil knows that his time is very near so he is seaching for many souls that he can get.Remember that Sarahs father is a pastor and the devil could not get him so he got someone that was next to him who was volnourable and was not covered under the blood of Jesus Christ.This murder was one where a sacrifice had to be made and blood had to be shed.So this was what happend.Most likely it was a sacrifice for fame. which she displayed on utube.But remember that wen the devil promises fame he wont give kit to u after giving u wat u wanted.so instead she got fame but not in the way that she wanted.INstead it brought embarrasment and shame.And that wat the devil does.

    The only way you will know how many people have taken time to pray to God or to intercede on behalf of Sarah is if you posted a prayer yourself. You will know for sure by the number of thumbs up you receive. Remember that action speaks louder than words.

    For if people took time to read your prayer and to agree with or accept what you said on Sarah’s behalf, then they are definitely saying some words of their own in their private quarters. A few more might even decided to follow your paths.

    If your name is who you are, why don’t you post one!. It should answer your question. But without that move, you do not know that people do not have “THE MIND OF CHRIST” according to your command.

    @stupes: Don’t be quick to call “Dominicans” narrow-minded when u clearly DID NOT understand my comment. I stated my observations, with a frigging question mark (?) since many conclusions can be drawn from watching Sarah’s videos. She appears to be the type who cares about beauty, but how can we be so sure that’s all there is to it? Get up to date with the real world chick, sociopaths and psychopaths are in our midst blending in as beauticians, doctors, engineers, preachers and counselors for crying out loud. Which is why I won’t judge the girl because like I said, there’s a lot more than what meets the eye. Period.

    videos show that she takes great pride in herself and her looks. we are all guilty of this but hers could be on the obsessed side , seeing what she is capable of. At first sight naracissitic personality (disorder) jumped out at me. Then as a differential diagnosis it might be histrionic personality disorder. I read some people saying that it looks like borderline personality. in my professional training those with this disorder feel worthless and flawed. dispite her complains of weight gain, she clearly loves herself and is confident enought to be on youtube. Histrionic personality might more sum it up.
    Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of attention seeking behavior and extreme emotionality. Someone with histrionic personality disorder wants to be the center of attention and feel uncomfortable when they are not. While often lively, interesting and sometimes dramatic, they have difficulty when people aren’t focused exclusively on them. People with this disorder may be perceived as being shallow, and may engage in sexually seductive or provocating behavior to draw attention to themselves. (ALL THIS WAS QUITE EVIDENT FROM THE VIDEOS)

    Individuals with Histrionic Personality Disorder may have difficulty achieving emotional intimacy in romantic or sexual relationships. Without being aware of it, they often act out a role (e.g., “victim” or “princess”) in their relationships to others. They may seek to control their partner through emotional manipulation or seductiveness on one level, whereas displaying a marked dependency on them at another level. (those who know her personally or imtimately may attest to this point).

    . They often become depressed and upset when they are not the center of attention
    People with histrionic personality disorder may crave novelty, stimulation, and excitement and have a tendency to become bored with their usual routine. These individuals are often intolerant of, or frustrated by, situations that involve delayed gratification, and their actions are often directed at obtaining immediate satisfaction. Although they often initiate a job or project with great enthusiasm, their interest may lag quickly. .(THIS MAY BE EVIDENT IN THE VIDEO WHERE SHE MISSES HER FAMILY, PROBABLY NOT GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION IN D/A)

    EVERYONE HAS THEIR ISSUES, DEPRESSION ETC…BUT THIS IS NO REASON TO KILL UR KIDS. THE SERIAL KILLERS AND THE SEX OFFENDERS THAY ALL HAVE THEIR ISSUES, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE THEM INSANE. POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION IS REAL, BUT REALY DO WOMEN DO THIS GRUSOME ACT AGAINST THEIR KIDS. WE STILL HAVE A CONSCIENCE. SHE DECIDED NOT TO GIVE INTO HERS. SHE MUST FACE THE MUSIC……….WE ALL HAVE TO SHE SHOULD BE NO DIFFERENT…….

    I understand this is an antsy situation and most of you who are commenting have children and are thinking of your own innocent little girls souls. I am neither a mother nor a member of Sarah Lynns family i know both the Augustine & the Vigilant families very well.

    My question is in all what is being said how many of you have taken the time to say a prayer for this young lady whether she is psychologically ill or not? I mean whether it was depression or down right wickedness her mind and will needs to be governed by God. How many of you have asked God to take control of her mind? Seems forgiveness is only for us when we do wrong and does not apply to this young lady.

    Stop sitting in Gods seat and though we are entitled rightly to voice our opinions lets not be vindictive about it because you never know who you know could be psychologically disturbed, depressed or just straight up do a wicked thing.

    I am very troubled that there are hundreds negative comments about Sarah, the young mother who gave birth just two months ago. Where was the daddy? No one is talking about his responsibilties and welfare of this young mother and his young children. If he cared enough he would have been there with her to help and comfort her. Most male animals stick around Mom to protect mom & child, so if the father was around I doubt that would have happened. I have been where Sarah have been but thanks GOD mine was not so severe. I also have a few friends who called me and said that they felt like harming their baby a few weeks after birth, but that did not happen either. This ppd is very real especially when you do not have help and its not easy taking care of a crying baby at nights by yourself its very stressful. Those feelings suddenly come from no where and overpower you and if you are already stressed and not as emotionally and psychologically strong as everyone else that can easily happen. SOME MEN just think its ok to come get you pregnant and turn their backs and think its easy on your emotion, etc. to carry his child for nine months, go into labor which I,m sure most men could not tolerate the pain and take care of baby all by her self, it’s not easy. All you men and some ladies who does not know anything about ppd or post partum blues, please go go the library or to md.com on the internet and educate yourself about this desease.
    That poor young mother has to carry this burden for the rest of her life, that is more than enough punishment for something that she had no control over. I will continue praying for her and may the two innocents rest in peace. The father is as much to be blamed he is guilty as SIN.

    I won’t condone what she did and having video blogs doesnt mean ur full of urself either but alot of ppl don’t kno how the human mind or body functions. I believe she was depressed and it happens to the best of particularly when u just had a baby and this can last for a very long time. some women are stronger than other and can deal with situations better. maybe she lacked emotional support from her partner and she just snapped at the time. sending her to prison will not solve the problem she needs psychiatric help, im a woman and i kno depression after having a child with support from my husband.

  79. September 29, 2010

    We have been asking why? Why did Sarah so viciously killed her two innocent and beautiful children? Perhaps there were a few answers, I do not know. But those videos were meant to shed some light to questions which remain unanswered.

    Someone asked why do they have her like a celebrity? That is the ‘Key Word’ here, “CELEBRITY”. But it is not accountable to DNO. Sarah wanted to be a celebrity; that is the reason for those videos and all the other ways by which she tried display herself to the public. Sarah Lynn Augustine was obsessed with becoming a person of the SPOTLIGHT. A CELEBRITY!!!!!!!

    But God has already planned Sarah’s existence and her outcome in this world. Celebrity for her may not have been part of that plan. That is the reason an obsession like that could completely destroy her state of mind. What God has planned for us will happen for us as He blesses us with the strength and courage to follow His plans.

    Sarah’s expressions, attitude, and conducts on those video did not display a person who was suffering from depression–whatever it kinds. But it does show that Sarah wanted to make sure that everyone knew that she in the room, wherever that was.

    Another person suggested that the thing about her and her daughter’s hair demonstrated her love for the daughter; that is not impossible, but the aim again, could to express her desire to show the world her ability of hair dressing or design. The way she kissed the child demonstrated no motherly affection, much more for Love. I am a mother too! And I would hug and kiss my son with a much deeper passion, even if he is 29 years old now, much more for such a beautiful five year old daughter.

    With Sarah’s obsessed desire to become a celebrity, her state of mind would fight against anything and everyone who threatened to stand in her way. And through her vision of failure to become who or what she was so obsessed in becoming, her defensive weapon would reveal themselves, in her attitude and conducts of anger, frustration, bitterness, impatience, and savage, merciless rebellion.

    No one would be safe in Sarah’s environment if she maintained such defensive weapon to fight against the failure or disappointment of her desire to become the person she wanted to become. And that means no one, not even her two innocent little children.

    But still, so many of us are unaware of what Satan can cause us to do to ourselves and those around us, as he tries to influence us to give him our Life, in exchange for the lust of the flesh, material gain, money, power, fame, and the other pleasures of this world. If Satan tried to do this to Jesus, the Son of Almighty God, whom he knew he had no power over, how much more for a weak young woman, with such fleshly and worldly passion, like that of Sarah Lynn Augustine.

    Only God knows the outcome of this young woman, but I know for sure, that whatever He does with Sarah, He will do it for His Glory, not to give Satan the victory. That is all we should hope for in the conclusion of this manner.

    Please click the above link. All my fellow Dominicans.

    Those were the kind of images Ms. Augustine uploaded to an Album she call FAIL. ON FB

    Dedicated to mischeif to babes.

    The ones she had in particular

    were

    a fork going through a babies nose
    a dangerous snake laying on a baby
    a baby in a sink with all kinds of forks and knives with the baby
    a baby on a grill ready to be barbequed alive
    another one with a baby in a cage in the mothes womb
    a baby in a wheel barrow.

    The images in her fail album is just a reflection of what was going on in her mind.

    I would like DNO to post those pics so all could see. Because we need to look at that side of of the square to.

    Because I think that story has four sides. maybe more.

    September 29, 2010

    Self-obsession, conceit?….I believe that’s what I detect from the videos. Even the one with her daughter in it doesn’t really seem to be ABOUT the little girl…I stand corrected, but still. She exudes a great sense of pride in her looks, most particularly her face. Is it just a part of her femininity or could it be a cover-up for some deep insecurity elsewhere? I agree she’s wrong to have done what she did, but there’s something far more than what meets the average eye…..

I cannot say what really happen i was”nt there but if she pretend to be insane well she in for a surprise cause many days for the thief and one day for the police. And if it is so that she is reaally sick she cannot be in sociaty for god knows how long because people like that cannot be among people so either way she gonna pay. God , jesus who seat at his right hand feel the pain of this innocent kids that night. And any of us who felt it. I know she will pay as the song goes somebody got to pay for that.

    So u mean to tell me that all these sins u mentioned are sins and a woman taking the life of her two innocent children is not sin? Come on!! I agree that we should not be too quick to judge , but the reality is: Regardless of her state of mind at the given moment Sarah LYNN AUGUSTINE MURDERED HER CHILDREN! I feel sorry for her, my heart breaks for her, but I weep more for the two innocents that will never grow up to enjoy the joys of life.

    So please allow ppl to vent their anger and frustration. Maybe just maybe if sarah was given that opportunity the babies wouls still be alive today.

  108. personality disorder, but no excuse
    September 29, 2010

    Sure we all into ourselves, but she seems a bit much too me. showing off what she wears and so on is a direct indicator to what she was really about. and that is herself. She striked me fisrt as a narcissist or someone with that personality but then there is the histrionic personality that is also very much into themselves. She is overly concerned with her appearance and is probably looking for validation from her youtube fans. this is food for thought pple. She definitly has a personality disorder and is a bit obsesses with herself. It’s like with a dog and it’s bone. you never come between them. Something came between her and what she cherishes the most. Along with her personality complex, there may have been depression there, cause i know taht pregnancy does a lot to a woman (mentally), but this is no excuse. the psychos who kill have personality disorders too, they have antisocial behaviors etc…etc…..but they pay for there crimes. I fell for her but murder is murder. Get her the help she needs, it is after the fact…but it is already done she has to face teh music. It is thatt simple. A live dog is better than a dead lion, she is still alive so she has all the time to make things right. When my son does something wrong, i love him but he gets punished……..tough love……….from a professional perspective…..

    Whatever caused Sarah to kill her children, we will never Know. Be it PPD or some kind of mental disorder which she devloped. Until anyone who have a child would never understand what is PPD. This mental disorder develops once you give birth, and could last for as much as 5 years. PPD can developed during any period of time. Just because her video blogs display that she might not have looked depressed does not mean that she was not going through something off camera. Sarah will be prisoned for her crime, and she should also be given the help.
    DNO posting the videos of Sarah showed us a different side of Sarah. Regardless where the crime was comitted she will serve time in jail.

    Fellow Dominicans,

    I have been reading DNO for quite sometime, but find it necessary to post at this point since this situation is right down my alley.

    Please guys those of you that are calling others stupid and uneducated becase they think that this individual (Sarah) is quilty, you must stop it. They have the right to an opinion. Have you read the comments on yahoo lately? Does it mean that some of the posters are uneducated? No, as a matter of fact it might be quite the opposite because people know what individuals are capable of.

    Certainly,after this incidence contributors on this forum know what Post partum Depression is, but that does not automatically makes Sarah a patient/candidate. There is also PREMEDITATED MURDER (planned for days, weeks, or months). People read books and surf the internet on how to commit and get away with murder. It happens in countries like Canada everyday.

    You also have to bear in mind that there are other personality disorders that allow people to commit crimes. I am in the medical profession and I have seen them all. I work in a very crime infested city.

    Fellow Dominicans, refrain from calling each other insultive names because you believe that you are educated on a subject. We must understand that the other individual might be more educated than we are. They are entitled to an opinion. Don’t cloud your mind

    The truth is, I actually log onto DNO as a stress therapy. I can’t read these blogs up here anymore. I feel much better reading about Dominica. So please, let us keep it civil. I know we love each other and our country.
    – Let the Law enforcement and medical authorities investigate this matter. They are quite capable.
    – I know they are.

    Good job Dominicans, we are still a safe country. I hope to retire home soon.

  122. thinking idiot
    September 29, 2010

    I have been reading the comments and views expressed in those comments… I have also been following the story very closely… I personally can’t say whether she had PPD or whether she was sane… but we need to analyze this situation very closely not just rush to give her judgement… investigate from both ends Dominica and Canada

    1) How she interacted with her kids… Was it harsh and ashamed or was it loving and gentle
    2) How she acted around people.. I know that too much stress can make a person snap suddenly but we still need to know this information
    3) Her reaction to her kids death, run some genuine tests not just ask her and if she cries she’s innocent
    4) Investigate her online accounts, facebook, youtube, myspace, hotmail, if she is guilty I am sure that she hinted it to someone… and didn’t get rid of the evidence…

    Dominica as a country should learn how to do things the right way when it comes to the law because then you will start giving ppl the idea that they can escape because we are so slack… Honestly I believe that the videos are valid but one can argue in court that they are invalid ’cause they are dated so far back… Rise up and stop doing things so half-a$$ed… also @Upside Down wat judicial system did you study once it is in plain sight it’s evidence so yes it is public… go read a book and stop acting like an idiot…

    @BEST INTEREST: why do u all insist on making excuses for her. stop speculating and let the law do their work.

    so what are u saying to the hundreds of young people who have children and gain weight we must go house to house and see if they too will brutally starb their child in the chest and sliced through the abdomen from left to right.

    i find too many excuses are being made. in your best interest i would advice you to go to all the homes of the 10 murder cases we had on the island and especially the last five this month and rule up your excuses.

    when will persons face the punishment for the errors we make. that’s why there are laws in the land and the same Lord and GOd you keep calling on at the end of all your comments, which i appreciate very much condemns killing with no excuse.

    does she need help? yes! like everyone else. y stress the point that she was out of her mind, anyone who commits crime are out of their minds.

    the two sisters who blew kisses outside the court yesterday are insane? how much help they needed and what didnt their family members see coming before the young man’s death.

    its sad our lovely dominica is groaning today but its even more SAD when we keep voicing comments dat dose who commit crimes especially to children we should spare dem and send then to psychiatric help but grown ups who kill grown ups is ok for us to lock them up and throw away the keys.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

    God bless us and lets pray that no matter how the outcome is everyone will have the justice he/she deserves.

    PPD my behind. The woman was just not happy with herself, so she passed her anger on to those innocent children. What is sad is, we have a bunch of Dominicans making all types of excuses for this woman. From what I see, she was just out there, and wanted to be in the spot-light, and things may have been going well for her. Therefore, instead of taking the responsibility for her own failures in life, she convinced her feeble mind that the cause of her problems was her kids…Boo!Hoo!HOO!!, I am too fat, Blah!Blah!Blah!. He is on the world’s most public forum (youtube) anouncing herself, and using her kids as her vehicle.

    She tried to stand on stage, but she did not realize that the spot-light sometimes does not work, and when it does, it could burn a whole through you.

    Here is another thought: Her friends and family are posting in support of her, because they feel guilty that she gave them tons of clues, and they completely did not take the right action to save those kids. So now, their conscience is eating them up.

    September 29, 2010

    That’s her You tube status.
    And yes, everyone is now a lawyer, psychologist, psychiatrist, but thought the videos are not evidence they do portray some of her character and personality. This young woman was very much into HERSELF and her image and looks. And it is quite evident that she had many changes to deal with.
    She was studying……did having the children get in the way of that?.
    She had 2 children, what did that do to the body and looks which she was so into, proud of?
    She said her figure was a coke bottle, now a coke can….however, she appeared a bit chubby face in all the videos…….
    There is gossip the relationship was troubled and possibly over.
    She was away from the surroundings in which she was familiar and comfortable.
    She was away from her family.
    She missed having fun.
    now…..what the real experts would have to determine is…..
    Are all the points noted contributing factors in the YOUNG woman’s emotional demise. ?
    in addition to the possibility of post partum depression?
    Because of having children she was no longer the ‘coke bottle’? the beauty? miss MESMERIZE?
    THIS GIRL IS INTELLIGENT.
    So, the doctors monitoring her have to be very astute and I think Dr Benjie should get one or even 2 other outside colleagues to come in to assist in this assessment.
    The lack of emotional reaction at the funeral may well have been due to sedation and psyc drugs.
    This is not an easy or normal and definitely not straight forward case and is very delicate.
    So, authorities, get help if you can’t deal with it. Cause, it would be extremely unfortunate if this girl walks free on a technicality or our system being inept in dealing with the circumstances.

    About the posting of the video on DNO, this is a normal occurence on websites (social networking sites, news providers, etc). This behavior is so commonplace that YouTube and other sites provide the direct link to the video so that users can re-post and re-link on other websites and forums. This is as public as content can get as it does not require the permission from the owner of the content in order to distribute said content.

    As far as the law goes, I really cannot speak to Dominica’s case history. But I know that in the US a judge would have to make a ruling as to whether or not PPD can be used as a defense on a case by case basis. This means that the defense attorney would need to prove to the judge that the defentant may have suffered from that disease at the time of the crime. If the judge sees PPD as a valid defense, only then would the case go to court and a jury would then decide the defendant’s fate based on arguments by the prosecution and defense.

    Even if the defendant is diagnosed with PPD it does not excuse that person from prosecution. It does however, allow the court to consider a lesser crime (infanticide, manslaugter, etc). So to those who think that being diagnosed with PPD is a ‘pass’, please think again.

    Maybe someone who knows what Dominican law says can comment here and educate us all.

    In Canada, Sarah Lynn would definitely be treated differently. There would be public outcry, but her situation would be easier understood and labelled. She’d be throughly accessed to determine whether she is mentally insane – and whether she can be held “criminally responisble.” she could very well get off for this reason.

    I am sure a good defence lawyer can very easily argue that there was no actus rheas and she did not have the frame of mind needed to commit the crime. Bear in mind the Battered Woman Syndrome – Lavallee Case, as a defence to murder – so too canppd.

    Anything is possible in the court of law. It’s not because she killed the kids that she should go and will do to jail. The whys of the matter need to be addressed….

    It’s so easy for people to say – “oh she’s not normal, a normal woman would not do that,” and this may very well be true. So it’s not too farfetched then to imagine that Sarah could at the time of their murder be considered “out of her mind.”

    I do not condone this – but i do not understand her frame of mind either. I choose to think that she was not in a “reasonable” frame of mind when she committed the act. In fact, i choose to believe that her mind was altered – be it by severe depression or whatever the cause.

    Remember, that just because she made you tube videos showing her happy self – does not mean that she couldn’t have been depressed after. The videos are past …she had 2 kids – a 5yr old and 2 mths old, she wass 22 … young enough to be totally stressed out – missing her family, missing her frineds, in a land that is not her home… there are many circumstances to this case….

    In the end, all a good defence lawyer needs is just “a reasonable doubt.”

    Food for thought….

    Mother hinted girls didn’t have a future, court told
    ‘Now you can look at the caskets and talk to them that way’
    Mother weeps in court
    Sisters found holding hands

    By Rosie DiManno
    Columnist BARRIE

    Two full nights and one full day: All those hours that Elaine Campione spent in the solitary company of her two dead daughters.

    At the heart of Campione’s trial on two counts of first-degree murder — and, through her lawyer, the 35-year-old is not contesting that she drowned the children in the tub — is the unfathomable breadth of time passed in macabre vigil with the little corpses.

    Time enough to dress the children — Tinker Bell pyjamas for 19-month-old Sophia, a pretty violet nightgown for 3-year-old Serena — and arrange the girls in a poignant tableau on her own big bed, dry and comb their silky hair, adorn them with necklaces of gold, force their cold fingers together in a sibling clasp, assemble separate piles of clothing and toys for their burial, even place a fan nearby to dispel the odour of decomposition.

    As court has heard, other residents of the apartment building spotted Campione between Oct. 2 and Oct. 4, 2006, taking items out to the garbage bin. But nobody actually spoke to the stay-at-home mom during that period except for Tammy McIntosh, a counsellor with the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre of Simcoe County.

    There is some confusion about when McIntosh heard the message that Campione had left at her office. She thinks it was the morning of Monday, Oct. 2, though phone contact wasn’t made until mid-afternoon. Yet McIntosh told the court she spoke with Campione “the day before” learning from news reports that the children had been killed. Police didn’t make that discovery until 6.30 a.m. on the Wednesday, indicating McIntosh’s conversation with Campione must have occurred on the Tuesday afternoon — at which point Serena and Sophia were dead.

    “She sounded very tired, like she’d just woken up,’’ McIntosh told Crown attorney Jennifer Armenise on Tuesday.

    “I asked her where the girls were. She told me they were sleeping.”

    The thrust of the conversation, however, was Campione’s worry over her medical records being disclosed for a family court appearance later in the week, where her estranged husband, Leonardo Campione, would be seeking custody of their daughters. Four months earlier, Elaine Campione had been hospitalized for depression following a suicide attempt.

    “She was concerned about some news that she’d got,” McIntosh testified. “She had spoken to her lawyer and she said it didn’t look good because her hospital records would be pulled.”

    While Campione sounded as if she’d taken “a relaxant,” McIntosh continued, some of her statements also ended “with a giggle.”

    “Maybe it was a nervous giggle.’’

    The witness had no notes to consult about the conversation because it was the then-practice of the centre to “limit what we put down’’ on paper, a policy that has been changed since.

    What McIntosh describes of that telephone exchange, in retrospect, is morbid — Campione fixating on what the hospital records might reveal, the impact this would have on her attempts to retain sole custody of the children, when those girls were in fact already “gone to heaven,” as she states repeatedly on the videotaped soliloquy recorded after drowning the children — a triumphant declaration (“How does it feel?’’) directed at Leonardo.

    The prosecution asserts that Campione murdered the children to deny her husband custody. The defence has countered that Campione was insane when she killed the girls and should not be held criminally responsible.

    Earlier on that Monday, though, Campione seemed cogent and rational when another neighbour, Caitlyn Wilson, drove her to Orillia to see her lawyer. It was their second trip in a week to the lawyer’s office.

    On the earlier trip, Campione — meeting Wilson for the first time — was candid about her marital problems. “She said she didn’t have a good marriage and that they were going through a custody battle,’’ Wilson told court Tuesday. “She wanted to keep the children for herself. She said her husband had assaulted her and her daughter.”

    Several witnesses have characterized Campione as introverted, someone who seldom spoke. Yet Wilson testified that Campione did nearly all the talking during their drives. Campione told Wilson she believed she was being followed and expressed fears about her husband’s family, claiming they were involved with the Mafia.

    In the second drive back from Orillia, Campione was particularly distressed over an impending affidavit that she would be required to sign, and the release of her medical records. “I felt she wasn’t sure that this lawyer could do anything to help her — yet another lawyer who couldn’t do anything to help her.’’

    Campione, said Wilson, was deeply upset over allegations that she kept a messy household and the children were often improperly attired — issues that she also addresses later, and forcefully rejects, on the videotape.

    “She wanted desperately to disprove what they were saying,” Wilson told court, adding that Campione had asked to borrow a camera to document the tidiness of her apartment.

    That flat was indeed spotless when Barrie Police Sgt. Thomas Sinclair arrived early Wednesday morning — the first responder on the scene after Campione called police to report that her children were dead.

    The building superintendent had let Sinclair into the lobby just as the officer was considering smashing the locked glass door to gain entry, since no one was answering his buzzing. Four other constables joined Sinclair as the super led them to Apt. #408, opening the door with his master key.

    “I pulled the lever, flung the door open and yelled POLICE!’’ Sinclair told court Tuesday.

    The door began to swing closed again and was then pulled open by a woman. “Do you have any kids?’’ he asked.

    The woman answered: “Yes, they’re dead in my bedroom.’’ Then she waved toward a bedroom down the hall.

    Asked if he saw that woman now, Sinclair gestured toward the defendant. “Yes. It’s the accused here before the court.’’

    Sinclair recounted for the jury what he found in the bedroom.

    “I located two children, lying on their backs on pillows, underneath covers or blankets. Their faces and complexions were grey, ashen, but there was a small slit in the eyes.

    “They were cold. There was lividity present. They had rigor mortis.”

    He stepped out to consult with other officers and to tell just-arriving ambulance attendants that they need not come in the unit. “There was no hope.”

    When Sinclair returned to the girls, someone had pulled down the covers.

    “They were holding hands in what I’d describe as a pose.”

    He arrested Campione, placing her in handcuffs.

    At 6.47 a.m., with Campione taken to hospital, Sinclair departed the apartment.

    The little sisters — “sleeping,’’ their mother had said — were left behind for other hands to gather up, deathbed to cold slab.

    However people with borderline personality disorder are still held accountable for their crimes because it falls under an axis II disorder not an axis I

  150. September 29, 2010

    In working with people you are menatally ill i could not agree more that this individual did have a Borderline Persoanlity disorder afetr watching her videos and blogs………

    Overview
    Borderline personality disorder is a condition in which a person makes impulsive actions, and has an unstable mood and chaotic relationships.
    Symptoms
    Relationships with others are intense and unstable. They swing wildly from love to hate and back again. People with BPD will frantically try to avoid real or imagined abandonment.

    BPD patients may also be uncertain about their identity or self-image. They tend to see things in terms of extremes, either all good or all bad. They also typically view themselves as victims of circumstance and take little responsibility for themselves or their problems.

    Other symptoms include:

    •Feelings of emptiness and boredom
    •Frequent displays of inappropriate anger
    •Impulsiveness with money, substance abuse, sexual relationships, binge eating, or shoplifting
    •Intolerance of being alone
    •Recurrent acts of crisis such as wrist cutting, overdosing, or self-injury (such as cutting)
    Treatment
    Group therapy can help change self-destructive behaviors. Having peers reinforce appropriate behaviors may be more successful than one-on-one counseling, because people with this condition often have difficulty with authority figures, which can prevent them from learning.

    Medications can help level mood swings and treat depression or other disorders that may occur with this condition.
    Causes
    Personality disorders are long-term (chronic) patterns of behavior that negatively affect relationships and work. The cause of borderline personality disorder (BPD) is unknown. People with BPD are impulsive in areas that have a potential for self-harm, such as drug use, drinking, and other risk-taking behaviors.

    Risk factors for BPD include:

    •Abandonment in childhood or adolescence
    •Disrupted family life
    •Poor communication in the family
    •Sexual abuse
    This personality disorder tends to occur more often in women and among hospitalized psychiatric patients.
    Tests & diagnosis
    Personality disorders are diagnosed based on psychological evaluation and the history and severity of the symptoms.
    Prognosis
    Borderline personality disorder has a poor outlook because people often do not comply with treatment.
    Complications
    •Drug abuse
    •Suicide attempts
    •Eating disorders
    •Depression
    When to contact a doctor
    Call your health care provider if you or your child is has symptoms of borderline personality disorder.

    Nothing will change the fact that she MURDERED two children…PPD or premeditated
    in canada she will either be jailed or in a psychiatric ward
    in dominica, however, she might be in face one or the other for 2 years or so then let free back into society…her and her muderous or “crazy” self..either way she has those childrens BLOOD on her HANDS!!
    nothing allu will say can change that…a murderer is a murderer is a murderer…she’s going to just end up with a slap on her wrist…typical

    and stop denying dominica’s legal system need help..you didn’t see how those women smiling and things after they kill their brother..why? because they know they going to be back home soon because well so dominica is
    so don’t say the legal system isn’t back wards..there are so many convicted murderes walking free especially those with mother and father with name in dominica

    Oh God. actually seeing the child alive is hurting my heart.My heart truly aches with sadness. Such a lovely child with her own personality. Oh my dear and even seeing the mother interacting with her. She clearly loved his child. Something definitely went wrong. God will reveal. We are not suppose to judge even if we are upset or sad. We too will be judged. It is a hard pill to swallow but we need to pray for the mother and the family. Apparently she expressed a lot concern about her depression. God just heal her and heal the hearts of all of us reading these stories. heal us from anger and sadness. Let God will be revealed.

She seem like a young lady whom seem to have realised that motherhood was holding her back from enjoying her life and she could no longer face up to the responsibility. Yes she needs help but she also needs to pay for the uncallous crime that she has committed.

    Why is it that people are insistent on making unfounded statements? How can you say that “if she was in Canada she would not see the sun again” ? In Canada ( this is a fact) there is research that shows the reality of depression and by extension postpartum depression.
    How can you say that you legal system really needs help when her defense is an acceptable one. Do some reading and make a clear assessment of the situation. He defense is not a complete one it can’t get her off it only reduces the crime of murder to manslaughter. She can be made to spend time in the ” mad house” for many years.

    That’s not exactly true with the way Canada would handle Sarah’s case. Below is a recent article from the Toronto Star dated September 23rd 2010, by Tracey Tyler Legal Affairs Reporter
    Which states that the crown is changing their stance on mother’s who murder their children.

    Is infanticide a legitimate defence?

    Their numbers are few and their tragic stories vary, but women who deliberately kill their newborn children have long had something in common.

    The possibility of being treated more leniently than other killers.

    But that could change with an important case starting Thursday in Toronto that could restrict the use of an infanticide provision in the Criminal Code.

    A lawyer for the province’s attorney general will ask the Ontario Court of Appeal to rule that a mother who intentionally kills her child while mentally disturbed or suffering postpartum depression can’t defend herself by arguing the crime was infanticide, punishable by up to five years in prison.

    Instead, if a woman is anything less than certifiably psychotic at the time of the killing, she would face the prospect of life in prison for murder.

    If the Crown succeeds, it would set Canada apart from other countries, including England, where infanticide operates as a partial defence to a murder charge.

    “I think there is broad international recognition that a killing of this kind is less culpable than murder,” said Isabel Grant, a law professor at the University of British Columbia who specializes in criminal and mental health law.

    “The vast majority of women would risk their lives to save their baby,” she said, “and in these cases something goes terribly wrong.”

    The case involves a young woman from Guelph, Ont., who can only be identified as L.B. and admitted to killing her two infant sons in 1998 and 2002 by covering them with blankets and a plastic sheet.

    Charged with first degree murder, she was convicted of two counts of infanticide in 2008 after a trial judge accepted psychiatric evidence that L.B., who had grown up in an abusive home and had attempted suicide, was suffering from a personality disorder and her actions were likely brought on by the biological and psychological effects of giving birth.

    Now 29, she was 17 when her first son died.

    The trial judge ordered her to immediately alert child welfare authorities if she becomes pregnant in the next 20 years.

    After spending nearly three years in pre-trial custody, L.B. was given another year in jail.

    Material filed with the court in conjunction with the Crown’s appeal of her convictions traces the history of infanticide law to 17th century Stuart England.

    Like its British forerunner, Canada’s infanticide legislation was developed as a compromise by Parliamentarians who recognized that juries were often sympathetic to women on trial for causing the deaths of their children and unwilling to convict them of murder, particularly at a time when the crime was punishable by death.

    Since 1977, 86 women in Canada have been charged with infanticide, according to Statistics Canada, but none since 2006.

    Grant said charging practices have changed in recent years, with police more likely to lay first degree murder charges in these cases and prosecutors less willing to accept pleas to infanticide.

    Canada’s Law Reform Commission recommended abolishing the infanticide provisions in 1984. But in 2006, the Law Reform Commission of the United Kingdom strongly recommended retaining an infanticide law, calling it a “practicable legal solution” to a social problem.

    Crown counsel Jennifer Woollcombe argues that when the legislation was enacted in Canada in 1948, there was greater social stigma surrounding unwed motherhood.

    In documents filed with the court, she contends that making an infanticide defence available in cases of intentional killings is bad policy because it “cheapens” the life of a child and is based on medically unsupported evidence that giving birth can lead to mental disturbances.

    In their written material, Tim Breen and James Fleming, lawyers for L.B., say the policy arguments for and against an infanticide defence would make fascinating reading for a Parliamentary committee, but the only issue in the appeal is whether the Criminal Code provisions were meant to operate as a defence to what would otherwise be murder.

    Woollcombe admits that infanticide was a defence to murder when the legislation was introduced by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Mackenzie King in 1948, but contends it was removed as a defence when the Criminal Code was rewritten in 1954.

    Breen and Fleming say the rewrite was merely an attempt to simplify the language and did nothing as drastic as removing a defence to murder.

    Much of the appeal, which is scheduled to be argued Thursday and Friday, is expected to involve a trip back through the legislative history.

    But the three-judge panel is also likely to hear some impassioned arguments in defence of infanticide as a defence. Intervening in the case is the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF), which argues that the social stigma of pregnancy before marriage continues to be devastating for many women and that abortion, for religious or cultural reasons, is often not an option.

    As a result, social, economic, cultural, religious and psychological factors work together, even today, to create a disturbed state of mind for many women after childbirth, LEAF lawyers Marie Henein, Joanna Birenbaum and Matthew Gourlay say in their written argument.

    Those who commit infanticide, particularly within 24 hours of giving birth, are likely to be unmarried, under 25, socially isolated and have often hidden their pregnancy from families, friends and even themselves.

    They often give birth alone, or in a public washroom, LEAF says.

    “They often have no history of mental illness and it is not uncommon for them to be in a state of panic.”

    @BEST INTEREST:
    so many people that just say that about themselves. if that is a sign that a person will kill their children then i feel sorry for most of children because feeling fat and needing to lose weight and missing people doesn’t necessarily mean depression or motive to kill

    the girl well plan her thing out..she p ut those fb to help build her sanity case for when she ready
    allu underestimating the girl..she knew what she was doing. if that’s not premeditated i don’t know know what is…is not like is a shooting..you mean to tell me after several stabs to those children body..the screaming coming from those children..she never snap out of it
    is not like they died at the exact same moment..she had to kill one first then the other
    so..with one dead she didn’t say shat what i just dere and spare the other one

    allu her “supporters” just making excuses for her…so what she was nice..who gives a f^@*….fact of the matter is she murdered her children!!!!

    IF YOU GO ON YOU TUBE YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS VIDEO (VIDEO IN DOMINICA)WAS POSTED 11 MONTHS AGO NOT A MONTH AGO, THAT WAS BEFORE SHE WAS PREGNANT THAT SHE VISITED DOMINICA, I GUESS THATS WHEN SHE GOT PREGNANT AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A RECENT VIDEO

    @she smart man: thats not necessarily true. in canada they would be quicker to diagnose her as unfit for trial or suffering with PPD.

    This girl was definitely troubled and anyone who was following her blog should have picked up on all those problems:-

    -I am fat
    -I gained a lot of weight
    -My figure went from a coke bottle to a coke can
    -I need to do some exercise to lose weight
    -I miss my family
    -I miss my friends

    Even when she says she was having a good time, there was no genuine smile on her face.

    All these problems she complained of can be directly attributed to child bearning thus her decision to end the source of her problems. May God help you because He is the only one who can.
