Last December 1 of this year, the body of a dead baby boy was found in a city close to where I live. A DNA profiling was employed to identify the identity of the unknown mother/killer. Last Thursday, the forensic scientists had identifed the mother. A 23- year old young lady, who claims that she was not ready to take complete responsibility for her life or the child because she is young and still wants to enjoy life.
This is the second baby found dead in Enschede this year. My heart of course goes to the babies. They were not even given a proper burial. They were simply wrapped in a grocery bag, and were dumped in the garbage.
I still shudder at the thought. How could a mother do something like that to her child? She has to be sick to commit such a barbarous crime! Her friends and classmates claim that they didn´t even know that she was pregnant.
Apparently, the young lady went regularly on a drinking spree. But she claims to be poor. She claims that poverty drove her to do such a horrendous act. She blames the government and society for not taking care of people like her. Her lawyer advices her to plead insanity. Is she really? Insane, that is.
We all know that in criminal trials, the insanity defenses are possible defenses by excuse so that the defendant will not be held criminally liable for breaking the law..... for terminating the life of an innocent child!
I am so upset. I don´t understand why some people live in a savage state.

I also cringe everytime I hear news like this, even if it has become commonplace. I am very much pro-life and I shudder to think that some people think of life as something like a cheap commodity that can be dispensed with anytime. How could we so debase our humanity?
Yadi, di ako nangangaturog san kakaisip. Ambot man sa akon kay nagpapa apekto ako sin grabe. Anyways.....
however she pleads, what she did was odious. i would be a sorry judge to let her off the hook.
True, Cherie. But a well-elaborated lie sometimes has the appearance of the truth. I hope it will not be case here. Duwa palan an babies na minatay nan tinapok niya. Yadi pa an makulog, dili aram san ama san batit na nakabadus siya. Anyways...
the case
:( this and female infanticide.
She has never heard of contraception... :o/
i feel the same way when people put down animals for reasons like "no use (to me) anymore", "cannot race anymore"...
...they dispose of someone else's life so easily but still want to continue to lead a good one for themselves.
how human being can be more cruel than animals...
I just happened to come across this...take some time out to read this...quite disturbing.

Aristarkhos: I totally agree with you. I have a friend who had also put her 11 year-old dog because it was already burdensome for her at that time.
Netherlands is the first country that has legalized euthanasia. There was one baby that was born with a defect (the baby didn't have the toes on one foot), and the parents had decided to put the baby to "sleep", because they said that the child will grow up being ridiculed for his toe-less foot. I found this particular story also very hard to understand. For me, it was murder.
put the dog to "sleep"
Retno: Yes, it was indeed very cruel. At least in the animal kingdom, it's about survival of the fittest. In the case of the baby, he died because his mom is simply unfit to be a mother.
As I was telling my other friend here, this woman has apparently killed 2 babies already.
Also, according to reports, she had tried to sell the baby but of course that is impossible to do here. She should have gone to Belgium, don't you agree?
Aristarkhos: I checked out the mind power news website. Very interesting...! I feel like I fall under the category of "bystander apathy" because I have done nothing except air my disgust about the matter. :(
