On May 29, Maria Estrada, a 25-year-old mother of four daughters, hanged herself and her four daughters in a mobile home near Fort Worth. The mother and the oldest 3 girls died; the baby, 8 months old, survived thanks to Estrada's sister.

The assumption is that Estrada couldn't face trying to live and feed herself and her children on only $1300 a month.

There has got to be a way to ensure that 25-year-old mothers with 4 daughters 5 and younger are not forced to try to live on that much money.
