A 25-year-old mom in Minnesota was charged last week with one count of felony-level child endangerment that could result in substantial harm or death, after authorities discovered she allegedly gave her 9-month-old son laxatives to inflict starvation. Authorities discovered that Megan Lee Kafer of Lewiston, Minn., who is scheduled to appear in court on the charge in mid-December, had searched the web on her phone for ways to poison a baby, including: “MiraLax overdose,” “Can a doctor tell if you overdose on MiraLax,” “How to make a baby really sick,” “Mom gets 20 years to life for poisoning son with salt,” “Salt child death,” and “How to make a baby vomit,” according to court documents via the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office.

The dad knew she was evil but didn't stop her. He should be facing charges, too.

Pure evil.

[Perseverando]

And people think evil doesn’t exist?

Skinny white blonde. Dress her up and put makeup on her, and lots of people would be cooing, “Not guilty.”

In a country of 330 million you're bound to find a number of depraved individuals who look human but are really embodiments of evil*; they have no place still breathing air. Give them a shovel and make them dig their own grave, shoot them, fill it in and move on.

*The Democrat party leadership fits this description, but that's another problem

I thought so at first but I’m not sure it is. MBP perpetrators don’t usually seek to actually kill their victims (it would be like killing the goose that lays the golden egg). They also don’t usually admit even to themselves that they are harming the child.

It sounds to me like she was just trying to flat-out kill the kid and not get caught.

Whats worse? A mother searching the web for answers on how to poison your baby,or the fact that there are sites out there that can tell how to poison your baby. A tsunami of evil has washed over our country.

I’m just glad some people in my family don’t have children. Just putting that out there. They are Pity addicts

Whether death or just prolonged illness is the eventual benefit to the perpetrator, MSbP is still a more probable assessment.

“Megan Lee Kafer”

Don’t even have to look at the pic.

[Preachin']

She looks a good bit older than twenty five in that pic.

Calling evil and sin ‘mental illness’ was among the first steps we took down this horrific rabbit hole. She chose to do evil. Plain and simple.

So true!

Sterilize her and take away all of her pets if she has any.
