id shoot the cunt the neglected the baby

[Kerri]

The sorry sacks'o shit that did this need to be tied down and with a dull axe butchered one half inch at a time starting with toes then to non essential body parts that will not cause immediate death. If any try to pass out and miss the festivities, a bucket of water over the head is a quick unconscious remedy...then the still alive, screaming stump thrown in the tiger pit at anywhere, USA City zoo. Absolute true unadultarated evil to hurt a babe like this.

Hmmm...

Whilst I find the neglect of a helpess child abhorrent, methinks that in some regards posts here may be overly harsh when more, the full, facts to the case aren't known.

Post-natal depression is a very real and documented thing, it's not just not the mother not giving a damn for the sake of not caring or giving a fk for the child.

Are any of you in that woman's shoes? I don't understand this particular brain malfunction, I couldn't imagine it. But God forbid when I do breed that my mind doesn't go into meltdown.

Some mates of mine, the chick, had some sorta meltdown after the birth of their first child. Nothing her husband would say could bring her around. This was an upstanding smart couple. By all outward appearances everything was cool, new bub and all. The only reason anyone out of their home knew that something was terribly wrong was because he told us, their close friends. Hell, he was even too scared to go to work for leaving her alone with the child. What was going on in her head was bizarre, to say the least, of a mother with her newborn. She didn't care, she wanted just to be left alone, her mind somehow flipped from being a happy young couple excited at the birth of their first child, to, after the birth, of a smart intelligent woman not wanting anything to do with any of it.

Thankfully my friends pulled through all that shit, and have gone on to have a second child. But no word of a lie, although it had been two years, all our eyes widened and we discreetly shifted in our seats uncomfortably when he announced they're pregnant again.

What I'm trying to say is that sometimes the mind does strange things to folk through no fault of their own. Post natal depression, any depression, is particularly ugly.

What if the mother of this child had no partner to force help to be sought? She gonna hide herself away and not even know how to get her shit together. She wouldn't have even been going to post-natal appointments for any Doc or health care worker to pick up on the problem. And it's not like she CHOSE to be neglectful, just that brain thing got her and dragged her down.

Thankfully somehow the Authorities got wind of this and the baby was placed elsewhere.

But please bare in mind.. if one is to exercise compassion, it's best to look at the whole picture. I feel that circumstances beyond that poor woman's mental control should not generate so much hatred.

In some cases, such as this, there may be much more to the story than just a pic of a poor malnutritioned baby. Sometimes I'd like us, the viewers, to have more than an immediate knee-jerk reaction of hate towards whatever is seen, regardless of how offensive it is to our own sensibilities.

Thankfully the depressed woman didn't kill her baby.. like has been documented time and time again.

Unfortunately, Tom Cruise's ass is unavailable at the moment. However, as soon as John Travolta get his dick out of Tom's anus, Tom will perform the aforementioned lasering.

I too suffered post natal depression. It made me feel like I was as useless as a fart in the wind, like I was an incompetent bad mum that had no idea what she was doing and thinking my children were better off without me, but in a strange way it made me overcompensate with the care, just to be sure in my own mind they weren't hungry, wet, uncomfortable...etc...my babies at this age were little porkers(not so much now)this looks more like pure neglect not only by the parent(s)but doctors too.

@Enter text...I do agree with a lot of points you make, it is a pride thing, women feel they are meant to bond instantly with their babies, and when they don't they feel like failure's(it takes time, not everyone falls instantly in love with their children, this is a whole new person to get to know)...add this to a chemical imbalance from hormone levels dropping dramatically after the birth, lack of sleep, it all spirals out of control. My ex-husband would constantly tell me to "get help" and in the state of mind I was in I just thought he was accusing me of being a really bad parent...you don't want to admit that you aren't coping!!

But this to me looks like neglect...IMO anyway...which could mean shite to others...meh...my point being that after my kids were born, for a full year a midwife would come to the house once a week to weigh and chart progress of the baby, a lot of states do this now and have done for many years...depending on where this case is from she may have not had that opportunity or service available to her..and some mum's just don't give a rat's arse what happens to their kids.
