Living with a mother's nightmare

Amy Castillo's ex-husband drowned their two young sons and daughter at a Marriott near Camden Yards. In filing for a protective order in 2006 she wrote that Mark "never actually hurt [the children], but did tell me that the worst thing he could do to me would be to kill the children, and not me, so I could live without them."
