I disagree. "Fry" Scott Peterson, by all means, but I'd postpone judgment until the question of agency is resolved.

One of my best friends had it something fierce. She's ordinarily quite sunny, and after her daughter came along, she did a 180 . . . was almost morbid in her outlook. Her husband had standing orders to call any of us at any time if he needed anything at all.

Fortunately, she came out of it about two months after her daughter was born . . . her daughter is now 10 and one of the smartest children I've ever met, and her mother is proud as can be and doing better than ever.

If you're going to murder your children, make it a really horrible and demented death. That way you can play crazy and maybe get off.

Do you know if drugs were involved in the Yates case?

Since Plano is indisputably within Texas, I don't think I jumped to any conclusions.

We do have more than our share of bizarre murders in this state.

I thought the same thing as I read this. I am sickened to think that a mother would do this her child. My husband and I wanted more children, but a medical condition left me unable. Adoption is so expensive, it is out of our reach. We fostered one child who we hoped to adopt, but the mom changed her mind at the last minute. I ache to hold and love another child and I would give almost anything I own to have another. I can't understand this.

I understand.

I don't know how a person could defend this horrendous act.

What is going on? In Iraq they are dismembering people.

First thing I've seen on this disgusting thread that makes any sense. After watching and hearing about Muslim beheadings, severing limbs must sound entirely reasonable to the deranged. Thanks, Mohammed. You've certainly been a civilizing influence.

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

Yep, combined with our male-dominated society. Remember the apologist trash written by feminazi "progressives" in defense of Andrea Yates horribly hunting down and drowning every one of her children? The punishment should fit the crime. No one capable of such an atrocity can ever be cured, never be rehabilitated and can never become a productive member of society. She needs to be put out of hers and society's misery.

Unfortunately, she'll probably become a feminazi hero and live off taxpayer money for the rest of her life.

What is it with mothers going wacko here in TX? Something in the water?

There's nothing different about Texas that makes people do bad things. But the bad things that happen in Texas will get a lot of press. Hmmmmm....I wonder why?

Me either. Makes me wonder what's going on in shadowy recesses of the defenders' psyches. People like thst should never have children.

I feel your disgust...in a separate thread I made the unpardonable mistake of recommending the use of medical marijauna to relieve the nausea and pain of dying cancer patients.... The responses were brutal... One joker even stated that George Soros was behind my plot.... Civility may need a check-up here at FR.....

I believe she was on prescription drugs, but I don't know which drugs they were. For all the good modern medicine offers, and I am part of this field, some practitioners and patients abuse prescription drugs. I understand, in this case, there had been Texas Child Protective Services seeing this woman for many previous child abuses with this same child. Need better acumen in that field. The woman who had seen her for abusing her children stated she was a victim of postpartum psychosis. I would feel better if this diagnosis was coming from a medical practitioner.

It's not a question of defending the act - reason dictates that one suspends judgment when the details of the case are not available.

The horror of being the police officer or EMS paramedic responding to this call is unimaginable. Prayers for the child's soul, and for the mental health of the respondents.
