NY socialite suspected of killing son charged

A New York City multi-millionaire suspected of killing her eight-year-old son at a luxury hotel on Fifth Avenue and then trying to commit suicide has been charged with second-degree murder.

Police say 49-year-old Gigi Jordan, a well-known socialite, was charged on Saturday at a local hospital where she was taken after being found slumped on the floor of her room in the five-star Peninsula Hotel New York.

Her dead son, believed to be autistic, was nearby.

Police say the boy was found on Friday lying face-up on the bed.

They say the boy and his mother were surrounded by prescription medication.

Police sources told the New York Daily News Jordan left a two-page note in the hotel room that said her personal computer contained an explanation of the failed murder-suicide plot.

City medical examiner spokeswoman Ellen Borakove says the boy's cause of death is pending toxicology and tissue studies.

There is no word in any language on this earth to describe the depths of this atrocity.

[]

Also, anyone who sympathizes with her even in the slightest should have their children taken by Juvenile Services. There is NO justification for this.

Of course, even if she does get maximum penalty (not a chance), they will probably execute her 'humanely', via lethal injection. Personally I think that method of execution is too good for her.

[] then let her burn again in Hell.

This topic has already been covered in General Discussion.

That said, I hope the b***h burns.

R.I.P. to the kid. f**k that b***h, If it's too hard for you to raise an autistic child, then you aren't cut out to be a parent. So your little warm fantasies of having a normal family is shattered and you gotta resort to killing a child over that? Put that in your pipe and smoke it if you even try to justify that s**t.

Sadly, the media and the justice system is gonna justify this s**t instead of getting to the point and just admitting that she's a selfish b***h who resorted to this because she couldn't take the responsibility of his special needs or accept his differences.

It's horrible and wrong if she killed her son, but there's no statement that his being autistic was the reason. If you read the link I posted earlier, it would appear that it had something to do with a child pornography ring. No where does it state that she said raising an autistic child was the reason. Of course all the details are not known. Obviously this incident has hit a raw nerve and I understand that but all the facts are still unknown. Here's the link again if you want to bother actually reading a report about it.

I'm not trying to defend anybody's actions, but this thread is starting to sound like lynch mob. Let the police do their job before we break out the pitchforks.

We're not going to lynch anybody, Aimless, but I think we've got every right to be very angry about it. When an autistic child gets killed, it feels to me almost like they've killed a little brother or sister that I'll never know. It's a loss to the autism community and a loss to the world, and it is inevitable that we will be angry.

I understand. I'm just saying we don't have all the facts. I don't discount the death of any child. No one has mentioned the horror of child pornography rings, which is what the suicide note mentioned. I have not seen it reported that the mother stated that she killed her son because of his autism. The fact that the boy was autistic was reported later. It apparently wasn't even mentioned in the suicide note. Ah, forget it.

Wow, you guys...jump to conclusions much? 8O

Parents killing their children/family and then themselves is a very common story. I don't see how it's any worse of a crime than it already is just because the kid happens to be autistic.

In fact, I find it somewhat unsettling that ABC needs to use labels like "Socialite mom kills autistic son!" to catch readers' attentions :x

I guess ABC's rating matter more to them than the whole truth of the report.

My father and step-mother viciously attacked and tried to kill me, gave me a TBI in March 1992. Fortunately, I lived. The Court knew I had Autism and told me I "deserved to be beaten" and I got no protection or help from anyone. Just the opposite - my father and step-mother were financially rewarded and rewarded in other ways by the courts and the system, as well.

Wow, this story has become pretty crazy.
Still, it could have been staged. She could have killed the boy, then staged a suicide attempt. Unless they found drugs in her system?
But even if it wasn't staged the rape of an autistic child is a terrible terrible thing, and those involved should hang and burn and have their corpses eaten by vultures.
And instead of killing her son she could have protected him. I mean lots of children have been through this and their parents don't kill them.
It reminds me of that episode when a woman kills her baby because she wanted to send it to heaven. Some people are just sick.

What a lot of violent people are members here, talking of hanging and hurting another human being.

Just the same as the mum really.

LOL just as same as the mom? I don't know what kind of "violence solves nothing" s**t you believe in, but if someone does something this selfish then they deserve the same. I don't believe every human being is entitled to be treated as a human being, they should earn it.

For everyone who is shouting for the murder of this woman, you will be pleased to know that she is suicidal anyway, so your barbaric attempts to call for 'justice' will no doubt be fulfilled in one way or another.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/gigi-jordan-so ... id=9760533

Kaleido - ditto on that! Ironic how murderous people become in the face of murder (actually its not ironic, its entirly predictable, and what makes the whole system of justice such a scam, imo)
