Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakahe te ex-manatu o Andrea Yates i te tukanga hara i tukuna te kaikohuru i roto i te 14 tau i muri i tana whakamakuku i a ratou tamariki e rima i roto i te kaukau o to ratou kainga o Texas. Ko Russell 'Rusty' Yates, kua marenatia anō, ā, he tama tāna, i whakahē i te whakawakanga o te kohuru o tana wahine o mua, e kī ana koia 'te mea kino rawa atu i kite ai ia.' I tohe tonu ia ko ana mahi 'he hua noa iho o tona mate' me te kii he whaea pai ia e aroha ana ki ana tamariki. Ko te whaea o Clear Lake, Texas, i whakamakuku i a Noa, 7; Hoani, 5; Paora, 3; Luka 2; me Meri, 6 marama, i roto i to ratou whare i te Pipiri 2001. Ko te tane o mua a Andrea Yates, a Rusty (maui), kua marenatia ano, a he tama e rima tau te pakeke, i whakahe i tana whakawakanga kohuru (i te pikitia tika i te tau 2002) hei 'te mea tino kino kua kite ahau' Ko nga tama a Yates, mai i te taha maui: Paul, e toru, John, e rima, Noa, e whitu, me Luke, e rua, i whakakakahu mo te Halloween i te tau i mua i te whakamakuku i te kaukau e to ratau whaea. E ono marama te pakeke o Mary Yates, i patua e tōna whaea me ōna tuakana tokowhā. I kīia e Andrea Yates i mate ia i te pouri i muri i te whanautanga i a ia e whakamakuku ana i ana tamariki i te tau 2001. Kātahi ka waea atu ia ki te 911, ā, ka kī atu ki te pirihimana tuatahi i tae atu ki te wāhi i patua ai e ia ana tamariki. I te tīmatanga o taua rā, ka hoatu e ia te parakuihi ki ngā tamariki, ā, ka poroporoaki atu ki tana tāne i a ia e haere ana ki te mahi. I whakawakia ia mo te kohuru nui i te tau 2002 ka whakawakia ki te whare herehere, i muri i te ngana o nga kaitohutohu ki te whiwhi i te whiu mate. Engari i whakaaetia e tētahi kooti amuamu kia whakawakia anō ia, ā, i te tau 2006, i kitea ia e kore e hara i runga i te take o te haurangi, ā, ka nekehia ki tētahi whare hauora hinengaro. I kitea a Yates he mate hinengaro i muri i te whanautanga - ko te momo tino kino, tino onge hoki o te pouri i muri i te whanautanga. He iti noa te mōhio ki a ia i taua wā, ā, i mahue te nuinga o ngā whaea e pāngia ana ki te mamae i roto i te puku. Ko tōna āhua he take nui mō Mr Lake, nāna i whakaatu kei te āwangawanga tonu ia ki tana wahine, ā, kei te toro atu ki a ia - ahakoa i wehe rāua i te tau 2005. I a ia e korero ana i runga i a Oprah's Where Are They Now, Mr...
I kī a Russell 'Rusty' Yates ko ngā mahi a tana wahine o mua 'he hua o tōna mate' I whakamatea ā-rototia e ia āna tamariki i roto i to rātau kāinga i Texas i te tau 2001. I whakawakia mo te kohuru nui i te tau 2002, engari i te tau 2006 i kitea e kore e hara i runga i te take o te haurangi - i muri i te kitenga o te mate hinengaro i muri i te whanautanga. E mea ana a Mr Yates he whaea pai ia, e aroha ana ki ana tamariki. I whiua ngā kaiwhakawā mō te tono i te whiu mate i te whakawakanga tuatahi. Kua marenatia anō a ia, ā, he tama tāna.
