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.

What must a mother be going through to cut off the arms of her own child?

I'm glad your wife is better now, but it must have been an awful time for you both.

Everyone is a vivisectionist. Baby's arms, good Lord Almighty what have some become. An innocent little baby who never did a damn thing to hurt anyone. What is going on? In Iraq they are dismembering people. In Thailand they removed the penises of 2 thieving children. But a baby? Why not just take the baby to a church or hospital and had it to someone. Why torture a baby? There is something beyond humanity involved here.

I believe you are correct. This is the culture of death 40 years of abortion lead to. This is almost a sacrifice to whatever that woman was seeing.

she probably thought she could get away with it & blame it on some post-birth thing or other...

can just hear the lefties now blathering about how she needs understanding or something - what this woman needs is the electric chair!

That's possible. Possession is a very real phenomenon.

Unless those children were home schooled, this won't make the MSM circuit.

Post partum psychosis was dreamed up as an excuse after the Yates atrocities. Yes, there has been an entity referred to as post partum blues or post partum psychosis, but until the Yates killings, I never heard of mothers killing their kids and claiming this as an excuse to avoid responsibility for something like this. I have delivered many babies and followed up with mothers, and have seen what we used to term postpartum blues. Not ever seen manifestation 11 months after delivery. Most like drug induced altered state of consciousness.

Why does this crap always happen here in Texas?

For the people on this thread screaming for the death penalty, I would ask them if they believe there is such a thing as "not guilty of murder by reason of insanity" because this probably qualifies. Some mental illnesses truly disavow responsibility from somebody's actions at the time.

Oh my dear lord, that poor baby! The b*tch deserves the death penalty for that, nuts, sane or somewhere in between. Period.

"In any case, you need the details of the case before deciding on a penalty."

The details of the case are she cut off her baby's arms. No decision necessary on the penalty. Fry her.

Prayers for the innocent child, the father who will never forgive himself, and the rescue workers who will never forget.

Supposedly she was. Women can apparently now claim post partum depression for murdering their only child even if he's two year old. Probably only a matter of time before post partum depression is used as an excuse for murdering an 18 year-old. Post partum depression is real, it's rare, and it's a fashionably overdiagnosed problem.

I'm indescribably upset over this, and the people ready to give her a passs for SAWING A HELPLESS INFANT'S ARMS OFF because she "must have post partum depression" are just sicking.

Well, at least caffeine hasn't been used as successful defense in a while.

Not flaming you. Just need to vent.
