Lounge Daddy Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 [quote name='Ash Wednesday' post='1933425' date='Jul 27 2009, 09:42 PM']Sounds like postpartum psychosis. How utterly horrific.[/quote] Indeed.
Selah Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Just sick. That poor child. Asking a special someone in heaven to watch over the infant [quote]That or possessed by the demonic.[/quote] I don't believe that. This woman had a history of mental illness and nothing seems to have been done about it. I hope to God she gets the help she needs. Edited July 28, 2009 by Selah
takebacktonight Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 A somewhat similar murder (beheading, cannabalism) happened in Canada on a greyhound bus this time last year. It's a strange coincidence....

That is if you are taking them properly in the first place, if you have been properly diagnosed, properly medicated, and can afford the medication.

She should not have had contact with the baby.

Forgot to add: In terms of both these cases though...it sounds like they weren't on medication...or certainly just on the wrong stuff... Edited July 28, 2009 by takebacktonight
kamiller42 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Since Hollywood's interpretation of what a space alien looks like in early sci-fi movies, all people who have had alien encounters claim the alien they saw looks like what appeared in the silver screen many moons ago. Cases of murdering mothers seems to be frequent in the past decade or so. ([url="http://www.mysanantonio.com/slideshows/Moms_who_kill_their_children_072709.html"]Here is a slide show of cases in Texas[/url].) Read the captions. The reasons usually come two varieties: "The devil made me do it." and "I did it for God." I don't like either reason and wonder if it is being used as a way to plead insanity. If I was evil and performed these acts for kicks, I might be thinking either is a good get out of jail card. Are these events happening more often or are they just being reported more often?

I wonder if the rates of postpartum are going up? If so, why? Is it the changes in our society, or I have had this weird idea that they are tied to the pill somehow. Don't know why. I remember reading the book that the "It's Alive" series was based on, and it was in women who had been on the pill for years, decided they wanted a child later, had trouble conceiving, and then went on fertility pills. Guess that stuck in my head.
tinytherese Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 How incredibly sad God is for this little one. The horrific things that He sees!
Luthien Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 This is horrifying, but not shocking. We do this to our young every day, it's called partial-birth abortions. Lord have mercy.
InHisLove726 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I hate to keep adding to this, but I am really, really praying for this family. I found this newspost on Yahoo just a minute ago: [url="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090728/ap_on_re_us/us_baby_decapitated"]for the full very graphic story read here--enter at your own risk[/url] Lord, have mercy on them for they know not what they do!
