Child killer Susan Smith is reportedly causing chaos behind bars, months after a South Carolina panel denied her parole in late 2023.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Smith, 53, is serving a life sentence for drowning her two sons in a lake in 1994.

In November 2023, she was denied parole and according to the New York Post, has been facing disciplinary actions following the panel’s decision.

“Last year, when she had a chance to be released, she was cooperative, helpful, and even pleasant,” a Leath Correctional Institution employee told the Post.

”But now she’s the complete opposite. Just rude and b—-y all the time. Overnight, she went from being a model prisoner to a complete nightmare.”

In August, Susan Smith was charged with communicating with a victim or witness of a crime after she spoke with a documentary filmmaker, which violated prison rules. This incident came less than two weeks after she told an unknown male over the phone that she “wouldn’t talk” to the media.

This was her first disciplinary action in nearly a decade, and she was convicted of the charge on October 3, Chrysti Shain, director of communications for the South Carolina Department of Corrections, told Fox News Digital.

Smith, 23 at the time and a single mother, spent nine days in October 1994, pleading for help in locating her two sons, Michael and Alexander.

She claimed that on the night her sons disappeared, a Black male approached her at a stoplight, forced her out of her red Mazda Protégé, stole her car, and drove away with her two sons still inside the vehicle.

On November 3, 1994, following a nationwide search and an in-depth investigation, Smith admitted she left her boys in her car, then let the vehicle roll into the John D. Long Lake in Union County. Police later found both children dead inside the car, around 60 feet from the shore.

Smith was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years, avoiding the death penalty.
