Iunderstand she's sick, but why was she out of the hospital and in the presence of her baby?

I'm not in a position to speculate for why she is out of the hospital. It is possible that she was allowed to have contact with her baby if someone else was present (see, Andrea Yates case), and someone dropped the ball on supervision.

And to me there is a difference between a serial killer saying that his neighbor's dog told him to committ murder, and a mentally ill woman who finally succumbed to her illness.

I'm not in that position either. The fact that she was out and shouldn't have been (especially around a child) is what I don't understand.

I agree, there is a difference because there are different mental illnesses, but the fact is, both are mentally ill and need help.

That's true, assuming that some aren't just "evil."

There should be more information released in the next few days. I can't promise I'll want to read it. This whole thing grosses me out and makes me sad and angry.
