For some reason this story reminded me of a scene for the HBO series “True Detective”
After Cohle gets a confession from a mother that killed her own child, after blaming it on SIDs, Cohle says to her:
” The newspapers are gonna be tough on you and prison is very very hard on people who hurt kids.”
“If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself.”

Others in my family like this twisted, evil and dark show. I guess, many times, people are drawn to the evil that happens in society. It seems to have a “hold” on some people and a fascination with other people.
