Baby Dies in Texas After Mother Reports Cutting off Arms
TBO ^ | Nov 22, 2004

Posted on 11/22/2004 2:03:51 PM PST by Tumbleweed_Connection

An infant died Monday after her mother called 911 to report that she had cut off the baby's arms, police said.

When authorities arrived, they found the baby with her arms severed and the mother waiting calmly with blood on her clothing, police said. The baby died at a hospital.

The 35-year-old mother, whose name was not released, was being questioned by police.

Authorities said other family members, including two school-age children, lived together in the Plano apartment.

Talking about the two Columbine boys and the fact they had been medicated brings me back the article I linked here last night (also on Free Republic) of a medicated boy showing sudden violence (once medicated) and then suicide... then you look at the high numbers of teen suicides these days, along with the increased use of ADHD drugs, and I think shrinks have a lot to answer to...

Add this to a society that is obsessed with illegal drugs to "feel good." and heaven help us... oh, yes, now they know accutane can cause all sorts of problems, too.

The doctor I work for often has patients come in wanting Vicodin or worse and many get very upset when he refers them instead to a pain center for evaluation or gives them something not in the "Class-3" drug category... Doctors have to be more careful than ever to watch for "drug seeking behavior."

she could have gone to planned parenthood a few weeks before the birth and had the baby cut to pieces and flushed with no problem. I guess "timing is everything."

Right you are. In most if not all of these cases, the only "real crime" was procrastination.

But, in this case, if she can get off on account of post-partum depression, it'll be almost like she was part of that pre-partum depression crowd.

I'd like to see how this plays out for insanity. Imagine the public outrage.

people like this woman need to held accounatable to protect innocent children. It seems that in situations like these, the parent always escapes the death penalty. They seem to get credit for being related to the victim. Where is the compassion for the children? The liberals always want to talk about the children, except for the times when it really counts.

ALL I KNOW IS WHEN I THINK I'VE HEARD IT ALL AS FAR AS SICKNESS AND INSANITY GO, REGRETTABLY I FIND OUT I'M WRONG. WHENEVER BEAUTIFUL, INNOCENT, DEFENSELESS CHILDREN ARE HARMED ESPECIALLY IN SUCH A BRUTAL AND HORRIFIC WAY MY HEART BREAKS. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MURDERER IS THE MOTHER!! THE ONLY COMFORT I HAVE IN THIS WORLD WHEN I HEAR THESE HORRIBLE STORIES AND IN FACT WHAT KEEPS ME FROM LOSING MY MIND IS THAT I KNOW AND BELIEVE WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT THAT BABY, AND OTHERS LIKE HER ARE IN HEAVEN WITH JESUS AND WILL NEVER KNOW SADNESS OR SHED A TEAR EVER, EVER, EVER AGAIN. GOOD-BYE LITTLE ONE.

I don't see how this incident has anything to do w/ PESH and the drug scene back in highschool. And not everyone in Plano is rich and spoiled. I went to school w/ some of the kids that OD'd on heroin and it is a tragedy. I was even friends with a few of them and these guys lived in lower income neighborhoods. BTW Plano is not the only place where drugs are abused. Have you been to LA, Miami, NY, and every other major city in the US??? And who doesn't experience a little w/ drugs in High School?

Anyways, what a sad story this is. I've said my prayers for that poor baby and it breaks my heart to hear stories like this.

Your right if she ever does snap out of it. I hope that she does because I hope at that point no one has mercy on her because she deserves to live with this pain for the rest of her life. Everyday in prison will be a slow day and the death penalty would just be the easy way out. Shes a sick and twisted B****

It doesn't. Going back to my original comment, I said that if it was drug related, and in Plano, it had to be heroin. That's all.

Wow. Hard to get your head around the sickness and depravity of this act. Just when you think the most brutal thing imaginable has happened, along comes the next diseased mind of an increasingly more liberal less responsible society.

Imagine what these little urban freaks raised on Eminem are going to bring forth as their contribution to society.
