Mother drowns twins in retaliation for husband’s cheating
A vindictive mother who suspected her husband of cheating on her drowned their twins and attempted to suffocate their 4-year-old sister in their Tacony, Philadelphia home.
Stacey Smalls, 41, is charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of her 18-month-old twins, Adam and Eve, by drowning one and smothering the other.
Smalls is believed to have committed the homicides in a jealous rage after discovering her husband had cheated on her.
The murders were committed on Thursday, before Ron Smalls returned home from work as a corrections officer.
Ron Smalls dialed 911 after discovering the bodies of his babies on a bed in the front room, and his wife still alive after she slashed her wrists in a suicide attempt.

Update: No Charges for Babysitter Whose Acquaintance Put Toddler in Washing Machine
Update: Police have contacted the mother of a 1-year-old baby boy who was seen trapped inside a washing machine on a viral YouTube video.
The video was uploaded to YouTube where it garnered millions of hits.
The mother, Sakia David, 24, told NBC10 she left her son, Saimeir Bush, in the care of a babysitter earlier this month.
The babysitter, along with an acquaintance whom Sakia says she did not know, took Saimeir to the Federal Laundromat in Camden a couple of weeks ago.
Sakia told NBC10 had no idea what had happened to her son until she saw the video footage on the evening news. Sakia said she asked the babysitter about the incident but the babysitter denied that was Saimeir in the video.
Sakia said she believes the incident was an accident and that the unidentified male was playing with her son when he put Saimeir in the washer.
All the same, Sakia says she won’t use the unidentified baby sitter again.
“Nobody should ever put a child in a washing machine,” said Saimeir’s grandmother Doreen Bey.
The Prosecutor’s Office told NBC10 they have spoken with the babysitter and her male acquaintance but no one will be charged.
