Andrea Pia Yates (born July 2, 1964) a former Houston, Texas resident, is known for killing her five young children on June 20, 2001 by drowning them in the bathtub in her house.[1]--- God flooded the world in Noah's day; It must be safe to say either Yates loved her children, or else God is also insane. Neither is true, because the premise is false.
