A mother flung her two children to their deaths in the Russian City of Moscow (on June 25, 2012).
Galina Ryabkova, 30, threw her two sons (4 and 7 years old) from the 15th floor of her apartment building because she was "fed up with them", according to the news story (see source below). When asked if those were her children by a neighbor, Ryabkova allegedly responded, '
yes, I threw them away'.
She allegedly tried to kill her kids by dropping a hairdryer into the bathtub while her sons were having their bath, but the short circuit cut the power. When that didn't work she allegedly lured the children from their 8th floor apartment to the 15th floor of the building, having told them they were going to fly paper airplanes.
Feminists would probably be proud of her, having killed two males. Or, they would simply blame her husband for 'not supporting her enough'.
Feminists complain that men take advantage of the fact that they are physically stronger than women in order to abuse women. Well, looks like some women take advantage of their superior strength over children to abuse them as well.

A mother has been arrested after allegedly throwing her two young sons to their deaths from a 15th-floor balcony because she was 'fed up' with them.
Galina Ryabkova, 30, was seen looking emotionless on surveillance video taken from the block of flats in Moscow, Russia, in the moments following the incident.
Neighbours in the complex were alerted after hearing the bodies of the boys, aged 4 and 7, hitting the ground.
Despite the efforts of neighbours, the youngsters died before the emergency services arrived.
According to RT, the woman said she was 'fed up with children,' and 'decided to get rid of them'.
The woman - whose husband was away on a business trip - lived on the 8th floor of the building and it is believed she took the children to the 15th floor before throwing them off on Sunday.
One neighbour in the same apartment block described the horrific scenes following the incident to Life News.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, said his wife woke him up to say that children were falling out of the building.
The couple ran out to see the two children lying on the ground in front of the main entrance to the complex.
The man added: 'Just at that time their mother was leaving the building. We asked her if these were her children and she replied, emotionlessly, "Yes, I threw them away.”'
CCTV from the apartment block - as reported by New York Daily News - shows one of the children landing just out of frame at the front of the building.
It then shows Mrs Ryabkova coming downstairs wearing jeans and a white T-shirt.
As she calmly sits in the lobby of the building, shocked neighbours surround her in an attempt to prevent her from escaping.
The video ends by showing police officers arrive at the building to discover the grim scene and arrest the mother.
It has been reported that Mrs Ryabkova has attempted to kill herself in the past and that her husband may have been cheating on her.
Mrs Ryabkova will be sent to a psychiatric hospital for tests while the investigation into what happened continues.

'Fed up' mother throws two sons from 15th floor, killing both
Published time: 24 Jun, 2012 19:20 | Edited time: 25 Jun, 2012 02:30
A Russian woman threw her four- and seven-year-old sons out the window from the 15th floor, with both boys dying before an ambulance arrived. She explained that she was “fed up with children," and "decided to get rid of them.”
Neighbors said they were shocked when they heard bodies hitting the ground.
“I was standing near the window and heard a loud smack,” Life News tabloid quotes Tatiana Gumanyova, who lives in the same apartment building, as saying. “I did not pay attention, thought that the child just stumbled and fell. But then I heard one more smack.”
The neighbor said that the mother, Galina Ryabkova, stayed calm until police arrived.
“My wife woke me up and said that there were children falling out. We ran out and saw two children lying on the ground in front of the main door. Just at that time their mother was leaving the building. We asked her if these were her children and she replied, emotionlessly, ‘Yes, I threw them away,’” the tabloid quotes another neighbor as saying.
Police arrested Ryabkova as she left the apartment building where she lived with her husband and children.
She briefly tried to resist, but was detained and delivered to local police headqarters.
During the interrogation she behaved oddly, but calmly, saying that nobody needs her. She claimed that her children were now “angels in heaven,” Sergey Markin, the Investigative Committee spokesperson, told RIA Novosti.
Hours after the crime, Ryabkova refused to talk to investigators.
She will be delivered to a psychiatric hospital, where she will be under security while the investigation is on.
Some reports claim that 30-year old Ryabkova tried to time her crime to coincide with her husband's return from either vacation or a business trip.
Meanwhile, media is speculating on reports of possible reasons that could draw Ryabkova to kill her underage sons.
According to one version, she suspected her husband of having an affair, while another suggests that financial problems forced her to throw both children out of the window.
Police say that the family lived in a new apartment building. However, when police officers walked in they saw uncolored walls, without wallpaper, and toys and clothes were scattered about the apartment.
Neighbors said that quite often Ryabkova complained of a lack of money, Life News reported.
However, different reports say that Ryabkova’s husband works in IT in Moscow, and the family has always been considered successful and has never been on social services’ watch list.
“She did complain to neighbors that she and her husband were incompatible, said something about a difficult financial situation. But we saw nothing suspicious,” neighbors say.

‘Fed-up’ mother made two attempts to murder her sons on the same day
Published time: 26 Jun, 2012 13:09 | Edited time: 27 Jun, 2012 17:13
A 27-year-old mother attempted to electrocute her four- and seven-year-old sons earlier in the day she threw them out of a 15th floor.
The investigators say Galina Ryabkova tried to drop a hairdryer into a bath while bathing the boys. Some reports suggest she was taking the bath with them too. But the short circuit cut the power, and it is then the police say she decided to throw her sons off the balcony.
She invited them to fly paper planes and they went upstairs to a shared balcony on the 15th floor. Witnesses say after throwing her children she attempted to jump too. But apparently she changed her mind and went down the staircase.
Prosecutors say during interrogation Galina behaved oddly, but calmly, saying that nobody needed her. She claimed that her children were now “angels in heaven,” said the investigators. Her state-appointed lawyer claimed the woman is in a trance.
After the tragedy her somewhat wry smile was captured on the CCTV tape in the porch of the apartment building when she came downstairs, says online news tabloid LifeNews.
The woman has been arrested and is to undergo a psychiatric examination.
The police say Ryabkova will soon be charged with the murder of two children. If convicted, she could face the maximum punishment – life imprisonment.
Witnesses have revealed more details of the family life of the woman.
Some say Ryabkova often left her children at home alone, locking them in and leaving for 3-4 hours to go roller-skating.
Others say she often complained she did not have any money.
“What shall I do?” she used to question. “My husband has left. The children are hungry, no food to eat. What shall I do?”
Some people recall however she never beat her children or shouted at them.
Some of her neighbors say she desperately wanted her children to go to a kindergarten and wanted to work there to secure a place for them, as the nursery school was full – and this could have triggered the tragedy. Kindergarten authorities argue they granted her kids a place but she refused.
Ryabkova’s family life has also sparked concerns. According to one report, she suspected her husband of having an affair and the couple was on the edge of divorce. Others say, he worked a lot and was spending little time with his wife and kids.
Psychiatrists believe the woman must have been in deep depression.
“Her actions resemble that of a so-called “extended suicide” when a person in depression first kills their children and then kills themselves,” an employee of a Scientific Center for Social and Forensic Psychiatry said.
He also explained the fear of adults is the main cause of violence against children. And only qualified psychiatric aid can prevent a tragedy.
“A weak person attacks only those who are weaker – that’s the law of nature,” he added. “The main problem is a lack of a defense mechanism: children have little rights against their parents.”
Meanwhile, reports suggest Ryabkova's husband Sergey nearly collapsed when he learnt what had happened. Since the incident he has not talked to his wife.
