There are so many childless couples waiting out there with open arms. What this woman did was hideous.

Yes. That's why it's called “Postpartum” Still, until she's seen by a court appointed psychiatrist to determine what's what the jury is out on this .....

Psychiatrists are human beings, and generally flawed.

She killed them after her latest birth. She just flipped. Her husband was no help in any case. He was told not to get her pregnant again.

It was premeditated murder. She committed the murders, not her husband.

Maybe yes maybe no. But they’re used in the court of law for either the defense side or prosecution side. Who says they’re generally flawed? What study?

I know that. But her husband was warned not to get her pregnant. That put her over the edge. I never said or inferred that the husband killed the children.

Oh please that is not true women do not kill their children due to Postpartum Depression. She was/is a demonic mental case way before she was given the gift of children from god.

Anyone can find any excuse for murder.
Killing a child deliberately HAS no defense. PERIOD!

Watch her get off with “it was a late term abortion” or “I was depressed” defense. Tragic!

If I had quoted a study, I would have referenced the source. Some of us believe in individual responsibility, and in right and wrong. For some of us, morality is not a murky concept.

SAN ANTONIO — The mother of a newborn found dead at an East Side recycling center told police that two days after giving birth she strangled the boy, listened to him cry, watched him die, put his body into a duffel bag given to her at the hospital then placed it in a trash receptacle.

And even in Texas she is not likely to be executed because she is female. (Notice I wrote “female” and not “a woman”. Too many people do not realize there is a difference and most juries in capital cases have a least one person who does not see the difference.)

******************************

Agreed. Depression doesn't have to cause women to murder their children. Most people can control their actions.

When some (few) become depressed, they kill themselves. When others become depressed they kill others. When someone murders with a plan it is premeditation. That is criminal.
