A lot of mothers suffer from post-natal depression. It obvious varies from person to person, but some mothers suffering from PND don't bond at all with their baby at all, sometimes for months.

This.

There should be more support for women suffering with PND, so that they get all the help they need. I'm sure they're are women out there that don't feel like they're able to talk about the fact thay have PND, and are thinking about hurting their babies. Maybe because it's just so out there. Everyone thinks about the whole bonding with babies, and they never understand why some women aren't able to.
I think it's very sad when someone kills their baby because they didn't get the help they needed.

My mother suffered PND when my youngest sister was born and when she talked to her doctor about her feelings, he tried to send her to the physic-ward. I hope things have gotten better in that regard, but I can understand why women don't want to talk about it.

I was just going to say that this is not a new case, it's very sad that there are  more cases of this
I feel sorry for the mother as well though, I can't imagine how she is going to handle the rest of her life when (if) she realizes what she had done. It's sad that probably no one noticed her condition before that and didn't do a thing. And I also feel it's sad that probably if she wasn't sure about becoming a mom she did it because the society's view is that everyone should have kids.

erm well i think she would have had a lot of mental problems, for example being completely and utterly insane.

One of my aunts had postnatal depression for a long time after her third child. After each child she had it but didn't really consult on it. By the time her husband noticed she was really out of it and couldn't look after herself or the children. While she was on her medication we all took it in turns to help out there. She wasn't in her normal frame of mind, like she gave her two year old bleach spray to play with, things she normally wouldn't let her children do/go near.

I think it's really sad when people don't get the right help or have lack of access to it. Can you imagine how the woman in the article would feel once she came to her right mind?

I've been following the story from her initial arrest.  What the main stream media is not saying is the anti-depressant drugs they prescribed to the mother, for post postpartum depression.  News like that,  is not welcome to the drug companies,  or innocent children or the doctors and the government.  Yet, it was in the very first story long ago,  but ignored now.....  Blame the mother,  and stress  for the failure of the medical community, and drug manufactures.   There is much more to this story than is being reported.

  A woman  who already had 3 boys,  and finally had a baby girl, who according to her family members dreamed of having a baby girl to go INSANE,  and kill  her baby girl  is not something 'naturally induced'.  If so,  all of our mothers would have Killed us all,  and there would be no human race.  I have nothing but PITY,  and prayers for that poor baby.
   The mother can rot in Hell, along with her doctors.  She was Stupid enough to believe the doctors,  who are stupid enough to alter a woman's natural brain chemistry.
  Stress is a natural human condition. Not one that needs drugs, to fix.

   My opinion only.

  Sorry for posting a song,

Maybe I've been watching too much United States of Tara, but seriously what if a woman with multiple personalities had a baby (and maybe her personalities in RL weren't too destructive before she had a baby) and one of her alters thought it was a dinner?

OK... that's even too far fetched for me. But you never know... there's crazy fucking people out there.

1) Because some women suffered from untreated post-natal depression...

2) These women don't plan to have babies to begin with and so all the troubles of taking care of the baby and that it keep crying makes them grow impatient...

3) Some sort of personality disorders that goes unnoticed by family or spouses because such people always would just harm someone who can't fight back, like babies and small animal pets so most adults aren't aware that they aren't fit to be mothers... There goes the saying that people who have no qualms about abusing animals might be dangerous when being put together with children/babies or even women...
