if it had been the father who had murdered that poor little girl the country would be baying for his blood, there would be calls for him to be dragged through the streets naked by his testicles and while I would have no problem with that, the silence and lack of outrage for this woman's dispicable act is very telling, the only thing missing is the do Gooders sprouting on about how the poor woman must be disturbed or in a really bad place to have done it, this evil **bleep** should only ever see the light of day from behind bars or she should see her last Sunrise with a noose around her neck

This is a rather interesting topic.  In 1912 my greatx3 aunt was charged with infanticide (killing her newborn illegitimate baby), later changed to concealment of birth. Because of this I started researching incidents of infanticide.  It was much more prevalent before the invention of the pill.

Why does anyone choose to kill someone? Unless it is in self defense, I don't understand why.  Unless we can get into the accused mind, I bet we will never understand
