Karla Homolka helped take three children's lives. Now she may have created one. Details are sketchy, but it appears the freed schoolgirl killer may have secretly had a baby. Rampant rumours, tips and a string of circumstances suggest that Homolka is now married and, in the past few days, gave birth to a bouncing baby boy in a Montreal hospital.

"It's hard to imagine how this must make the families of Kristen French & Leslie Mahaffy feel." |
Perhaps settling down with a family is just the right thing to enhance Karla's development of empathy toward other human beings, however after reading the story published in the Toronto Sun (link above) it would seem as though this is just another scheme in the great design plan for her own life. It's hard to imagine how this must make the families of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy feel.
It is also difficult to imagine that a person who does not empathize with the distress of her own sister could be capable of caring for an innocent child. This baby certainly did not get the pick of the gene pool and it is frightening to think about what kind of person this child will become.
Ultimately, it is our responsibility as parents and caregivers to maintain contact and discipline with our children at all times. We should never assume that our teenagers can defend themselves against the conniving wiles of a perverted murderous adult(s).
Nothing in life is fair. Fair is a place you go to celebrate harvest or a description of the weather on a fine day. Fair certainly is not a word connected to this story in any way. This case is a travesty of justice, in the spring of 2001, the National Parole Board ordered Homolka detained for her full sentence as a high risk to reoffend. This was after having served more than half of her reduced by plea bargain sentence. Our justice system traded 12 years of imprisonment for Homolka's testimony against her lover Paul Bernardo. Had Karla received the life sentence she deserved, she would likely have remained in prison until the year 2017, making the likelihood of her procreating a less viable threat.
