" It's popping up much more recently than in past history - even here in the U.S."

Don't agree. It is being REPORTED much more recently than in past history - even here in the U.S.

I do recall instances of mothers (both meanings) killing or trying to kill their children as a kid in the 40's-50's. Difference is we didn't then have FOX news blasting the same crap 24/7. There may be more statistically but back then, troubled mothers could go to a neighbor, a church, a friend or a relative for solace. Today, mothers are trained (brainwashed) to believe only government can help, but 'nana' state worker is never around.

FOX does a great job of telling it like it is politically, but their social agenda is pitiful and reeks of "checkout counter" tabloidism!

You prefer larry king or katie curic(sp) placing the blame on everybody but the person that did it?

No doubt news was censored years ago and certain crimes not reported..

I can remember 40 years ago friends who were Boston police officers telling me the crime of incest would not be reported in the press, no matter how inhuman the act.

. Then then proceeded to tell me of some local horrible incest mutilation stories that never got covered in the newspapers.

Today if the press doesn't tell you, the Internet will. - Tom

I had one day only of post partum and it was awful. I called the mother of a friend of mine. I can't even remember the friend now (27 years later) but she had been a nanny in England and was retired. She came over, took over and I went to bed. By morning, it was over, just a bad dream. God bless that woman even though I wasn't at any stage of homicide or suicide, it was a very scary experience.

Yep, first it's post partum blues, now it's Fox News. Soon it will be something else, but it sure won't be her fault according to you female murderer apologists. The second thing that history records a woman as saying is: "the devil made me do it", (Genesis 3:13). Some things never change, ;o)
