This is truly one of the signs of the end of the world. A father of a young child plotted to kill the child and himself as revenge against the child's mother, and posted his intentions on Facebook.
A man who authorities say killed his 9-month-old son and himself in San Bernardino County reportedly had details about his murder-suicide plans posted on facebook.
Sheriff's officials say 25-year-old Stephen Garcia of Pinon Hills was on a court-ordered visit with his son Wyatt Sunday when he drove to a dirt road in Twin Peaks, killed the boy and committed suicide.
The Victorville Daily Press is reporting that Garcia left a chilling Facebook letter, saying he did it out of love in an attempt to save his son from a difficult life.
"I led everyone on my side of the family to believe I wouldn't of done this because I did not want them to know..." the letter reads.
"I had been thinking about doing this for months."
Garcia also claimed he carried out his plan in order to punish the baby's mother, Katie Tagle, for refusing to come back to him, the Daily Press reported.
"Our deaths are a lot for her," the post continues. "It will have to suffice as her punishment. But that is not the reason I did it. It was the only way we could be happy without Katie. I did this out of love for our son, to protect him and myself."
The note was reportedly posted on Garcia's profile about eight hours after he and his son were found dead.
It appeared Garcia arranged to have someone else post the letter on his behalf.
What I would like to know is, who is the stupid, crazy person who posted the Facebook update for Garcia, as Garcia was apparently already dead when the mea culpa hit Facebook. Perhaps a year or so with a nice ankle bracelet will give them the motivation to think about their actions...or better yet inaction.
