Police say teen plotted to kill mom for breast implants

September 27, 2008

"A Colorado teenager hired men to kill his mother so he could use her money to get breast implants for his girlfriend, police said...."

Christie Anna says: I....don't know how to react to this. They really couldn't come up with a more, you know, sane way to come up with money? Even just, say, steal mom's car instead of killing her? Wow, bright kids. And here's a question - where'd they get the money to pay men to kill her and why couldn't they use that? Now, I don't know exactly how much it costs either for breast implants or to hire killers, but I'd rather hope the latter is the more expensive. Then again, I hope for a lot of things that aren't true....and people these days do seem to value looks over morality....All in all, I think this just makes me sad. In an "oh dear lord, what is happening to our society???" sort of way. Breast implants have officially topped life on the list of things that important. Lovely, isn't it?
