Presecutor: Mom Says She Killed Sons To Help Daughter by kingofpool: 12:02pm On Aug 19, 2015
BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio (AP) — A
woman calmly called 911 to
report her baby son wasn't
breathing on Tuesday and then
hours later confessed to killing
him and her two other young sons over the past several
months because her husband
ignored their daughter,
authorities said. Brittany Pilkington was charged
with three counts of murder and
was jailed, said police in
Bellefontaine, about 60 miles
northwest of Columbus. Pilkington is accused in Tuesday's
death of 3-month-old Noah and
in the deaths of 4-year-old
Gavin, who died in April, and 3-
month-old Niall, who died in July
2014. No working telephone number for the family's home
could be found, and no attorney
information was available for the
mother. Police said officers went to the
family's apartment on Tuesday
morning after an emergency call
from the mother saying Noah
wasn't breathing. They said she
calmly answered a dispatcher's questions while the baby's sleep
apnea alarm beeped in the
background. The baby was
pronounced dead at a hospital. Logan County prosecutor William
Goslee told The Columbus
Dispatch he interviewed Brittany
Pilkington and she confessed to
killing each of her sons by placing
a blanket over his head and suffocating him. "In her mind," Goslee said, "she
was protecting her daughter
from being not as loved as the
boys were by their father." The daughter, 3-year-old Hailey,
was taken into custody by a
county child welfare agency. Authorities already were
investigating what happened to
Niall and Gavin, whose causes of
death haven't been determined.
In each of those cases, their
father, Joseph Pilkington, found them unresponsive when he got
home from work. "Our son's not breathing,"
Brittany Pilkington said meekly
to a dispatcher when she called
police on April 6 as her husband
frantically gave Gavin chest
compressions. "He's turning white." Joseph and Brittany Pilkington
were cooperative on Tuesday,
police said. She eventually told
detectives that she killed all
three boys, police said. "The tragic deaths of Niall, Gavin
and Noah leave a pit in our
stomachs today," police Chief
Brandon K. Standley said in a
statement. "Our condolences go
out to the remaining family members who have supported
this family through a very
difficult 13 months." Brittany Pilkington's uncle Joe
Skaggs said Hailey and Noah had
been with Logan County
Children's Services after Gavin's
death and were returned to
their parents this month. "Why would you give them back
after a little boy just died and
when you're in the middle of an
investigation?" Skaggs, standing
in front of his niece's apartment,
told the Dispatch. A voicemail system at the agency
wouldn't accept messages after
hours Tuesday. But Goslee, the
prosecutor, said Hailey and Noah
were given back to their
parents after a coroner determined Gavin's and Niall's
deaths weren't suspicious. The Pilkingtons' neighbor James
Breaston was home, across the
hall from the family, when Gavin
died in April. He remembered
consoling a distraught Joseph
Pilkington but finding Brittany Pilkington unperturbed. "He was crying, the tears were
rolling, and she was just cold,"
Breaston told the Dispatch. "She
just stared like nothing
happened." He said that when saw police
arrive on Tuesday morning he
thought, "Oh, there's another
baby dead." Prosecutor: Mom says she
killed young sons to help
