Today on cnn I heard of another woman killing her kid after she gave birth .?
Answers:
In recent years the reasons have changed but there do seem to be more cases either that or it just wasnt widely reported before. The one woman did it because her husband was leaving her, one did it because she wanted to remarry and he didnt want the kids. Some do it because they are just really sick and twisted in the head like the one who drugged them, and then drowned them. I think there are a lot of contributing factors, but the main is postpartum depression.
There is also a disorder called Munchausen by Proxy in which a parent will make their child ill, sometimes forcing them to indure painful procedures in order to gain attention for themselves. I dont know what causes it I think it is just that mental illness goes so untreated in this country and is a dirty little secret that when there are serious warning signs they are ignored and the person becomes desperate.

post-partum depression and general insanity, and the tendency of the media to take stories that are running well and heavily journalize and exhibit more fitting that quota.
hate maybe they feel that the baby ruined there life well they r under the influences of Macumba
Only the mother herself could tell you. There was a case in upstate New York a while back where a woman killed six or seven kids, initially it was believed they had all died from SIDS resulting from a genetic abnormality until a child she had adopted died apparently from SIDS as well. Turned out she suffered from a disorder called Munchausen by Proxy in which a person gains attention and sympathy for themselves by harming or killing loved ones.
whooooooooooa...my mom get majorly pissed of at moi but not this much! someone's been drinkin alittle 2 muchMaybe abortion was illegal in her state and she took care of it personally. If it's after a baby is born it would be a bad case of the baby blues or in other words post partum depression. This generally last from a few days to about a year at most if left untreated.
After this period it can be any factors of underlying issues, maybe stress from a bad realationship or having a bad and suddenly the nbaby does something even as minor as crying that just pushes your wrong button or even greater issuses of misdiagnosed bipolar disorder.
post partum depression (PPD) is not a joke. It is a result of physiological changes in the mind and body of a woman after giving birth.
I do not believe it is happening more often. Our media is becoming more and more adept in receiving and distributing information and therefor we seem to hear about it more often.
Awareness of PPD has risen and medication and treatment has advanced so it is actually easier for a family to receive help for PPD.
It is hard to understand if you have not been there or seen anyone go there, but it can totally transform a person.
I find it very sad, there are so many people that want to adopt a child, that have to go to another country to do so, but I think the stress these days is terrible, especially if you have no support system. I did not hear about it, but there is so many things placed on a woman, in the old days family would pull together, and help each other, but nowadays it seems everybody is on there own. I wish woman would reach out before doing something that can not be undone, like going to a Church to get help, most people want to help others if they know they need help.
