A Reno woman by the name
Marianne Theresa Johnson-
Reddick, born January 4,
1935, died last month,
amazingly, to the relief and
comfort of her children
whom she spent a lifetime
(in their words) "torturing in
every way possible."
Those children, now grown,
marked her passing by
submitting the most chilling
obituary you will ever read to
her local newspaper, the
Reno Gazette-Journal.
Here's the obituary's full text,
culled from Gawker.
Marianne Theresa Johnson-
Reddick born Jan 4, 1935
and died alone on Aug. 30,
2013. She is survived by her
6 of 8 children whom she
spent her lifetime torturing
in every way possible.
While she neglected and
abused her small children,
she refused to allow anyone
else to care or show
compassion towards them.
When they became adults
she stalked and tortured
anyone they dared to love.
Everyone she met, adult or
child was tortured by her
cruelty and exposure to
violence, criminal activity,
vulgarity, and hatred of the
gentle or kind human spirit.
On behalf of her children
whom she so abrasively
exposed to her evil and
violent life, we celebrate her
passing from this earth and
hope she lives in the after-
life reliving each gesture of
violence, cruelty, and shame
that she delivered on her
children.
Her surviving children will
now live the rest of their
lives with the peace of
knowing their nightmare
finally has some form of
closure.
Most of us have found peace
in helping those who have
been exposed to child abuse
and hope this message of
her final passing can revive
our message that abusing
children is unforgiveable,
shameless, and should not
be tolerated in a "humane
society".

Let this be a lesson to mothers: Be careful how you treat your children

But also.. I kinda think that took it too far.. Their aim was to raise awareness to child abuse, right? All I think they did was got in the news for being douches.
