At least 61% of them are.

No really.. She was mentally ill. She would have been that way regardless of what state she lived in.

Here she is.

I actually saw another woman feeling sorry for this woman when they interviewed her on the news last night. How about some sympathy for the child.

I don't believe on the 'insanity' theory. She wasn't crazy enough to get pregnant!

I think they said she was going with the post-partum(?) syndrome. That seems to be the choice of excuse these days when a mother does something horrible to her children.

I read the story in the gazette of today and couldn't believe it.
I hope she will be in prison for the rest of her life.

I know

Well now they are prolly going to blame a lot of agencies first and even the State on the way this case was handled.

spunkygirl · 11-23-2004, 01:03 PM

I notice how when something like this happens people they interview are like "she was a good mother" blah blah blah.

If child neglect was being investigated earlier why wasn't something done?

Might have been able to save that child

How can you understand it if you don't even know what it is? It isn't the "choice of excuse" these days. I've only heard of a few mothers that have done bad things that have been diagnosed with it. There was something seriously wrong with her.

Hollow · 11-23-2004, 02:15 PM

oh please people, she was mentally ill, and you have no idea what you're talking about if you say it's not a valid reason. i can understand her doing it. she should be put in a mental hospital, not thrown in the fiery pits of hell.

TheGreatPretender · 11-23-2004, 02:38 PM

This is why mentally ill people shouldn't be doing certain things where they are prone to do some harm like caring for an infant. Someone or herself should have realized that she had a problem and got her help before any damage was done. That is horrible.

Jrnygrl · 11-23-2004, 02:42 PM

I love my nieces and nephew so much, that this is just so unbeliveble. How can you harm a child? Even if you are crazy, how??? I'm not heartless, and I have a great sympathy for people who are troubled, but in this case I say put her in jail, and let them take care of her.

Hey! That's a good idea! Let's go out and sterilise all people we see unfit for parenting.

Oh wait...Hitler already thought about it.
It's called eugenics.

What this mother did is horrible, and completely abnormal. But I'm assuming that most of the people here saying how horrible it is and how "this just proves that (insert any disability) people shouldn't have children" aren't mothers, or have never suffered post-partum depression.

It is NOT an excuse used for child abuse, but an actual disorder listed in the DSM-IV.

Judging from a completely alien perspective to the situation is just uncool.
