Yes, I agree. Most beds in Japan are roll ups. But even so, my daughter at a 11 mo old rolled off the bed and fractured her collar bone. And that was a pretty high bed. How hard does a child have to bounce on a bed to bounce an infant completely off of it unless the baby was very very close to the edge. I could see a broke neck before a fractured skull. Accidents happen, even with my own they did. But to fracture a skull falling off a bed is a common excuse given for infanticide.
I am praying for them--it's a sad situation either way. The mother's suicide is particularly tragic.
Did this all come out of a post-partum depression?
