A South Los Angeles woman accused of shooting her two sons — killing her 5-year-old and critically wounding her 16-month-old — was charged Tuesday with murder and attempted murder.

Latonya Ann Dixon, 26, shouted “I’ve wasted my life” from her balcony after calling 911 Saturday morning to report that she had killed her children, police said.

Dixon was charged with one count of murder, one count of assault on a child causing death and one count of attempted premeditated murder, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said. If convicted, she faces multiple life sentences.

Police found the body of the 5-year-old inside Dixon’s apartment in the 7200 block of South Gramercy Place. The other boy was on life support Tuesday, the district attorney said.

As officers arrived at Dixon’s beige stucco apartment, the mother told police to shoot her, police said. She repeatedly walked onto her second-floor balcony with a handgun and at one point climbed onto the balcony rail, acting as if about to jump, police said.

Bail has been recommended at $3 million.

Summer.  A time for fun and excitement with friends and family can be the season for easy living and relaxation.  But I think, I’m safe to say that for many of us parents with young and teen aged children, life can be even more hectic in the summer months than it is during the school year, with summertime activities, summer camps, and shifting daycare providers.  With this break or change in the school year routine this can also be a time for family upheaval.  What better time to address some of those nagging oppositional behaviors from your children that may have plagued you and your family through the school year but now are surfacing with a vengeance.  I speak from experience, with two small children – one transitioning from preschool to kindergarten in the fall and a 2 year old whose “yes” is her “no” and well you know her “no” is her “no!”.  Which brings me to the invitation I would like to offer to new and past clients alike…Come On In and check out or new and improved site.  You spoke and we listened.  We have added a new look and video blog page for visitors to get great parenting news. Please email us your comments on how we can continue to strive to become your one stop parenting website.  Improve and eliminate oppositional behavior in your household and enjoy some of the easy living and relaxation the summer should bring.
