A jury of her peers will decide what to do with her.
Sounds like a really sick woman was written off by the system and left to care for a baby she had no business having custody of...The "system" seems to want to take care of those who won't take care of themselves, instead of taking care of those who can't take care of themselves...
Where was dad? I would imagine trying to cope, bearing the pressures of the situation at home and the demands of his job while earning a living and doing his best to provide more than just the basic food, shelter and clothing for his family. How can he do all that but at the same time drop everything to be at home 24 hrs a day?
I'm sure he was also listening to all the advice he was getting, medical and otherwise, trying to to the best he could for his family.
I doubt anyone going through this kind of situation has the absolute clarity of thought that hindsight provides. Why pile on?
suffer the little children...
Sounds like a democrats approach after reading the American Constitution.. "Democrat Supreme Court Justices" are an Oxy-moron.. they violate all four words..
Did I say it was all Dad's fault? I was just asking where was he. Did he just deposit his sperm and take off? Certainly Dad would bear some responsibility if he was in fact in a relationship with this woman he had to have some inkling she wasn't right in the head since she has a history of mental illness. I would hope that a father has some emotional involvement with his family even though he is in a provider role.
Yes, so do I. But in this woman's case, unfortunately some people who are mentally ill have religious complexes, who knows why. But I think it's wrong when some people try to infer from tragedies like this that there is something inherently wrong with Christianity that would make people do crazy things. Some people are just nuts and can be inspired in their madness by anything.
I bet those lawyers would be in fear for their lives if they had blamed the Koran.
OK, I ain't no biblical scholar, but somehow I am just a teeny bit skeptical that chopping up infants is quite what the text refers to. Unless she's reading the New Standard Manson Version.
