When I read this, my stomach turned. I sent it to live-in and he looked green. So incredibly sad. And to think, there's people out there who believe that postpartum depression and psychosis don't exist... even if this lady was nutty to start, I'm sure pps had to play a part. People don't just eat babies because they're crazy - there has to be something else going on there.

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.

One other place I posted this story and no one made it past 5 words for 2 pages...this is the sickest thing I think I may have read in years and I think I literally almost lost my lunch.

My thoughts went to the police, EMS, firefighters who certainly would have shown up to an emergency call. This is the kind of thing that would haunt those poor people for the rest of their lives.

When the Greyhound bus incident happened in Canada, we were all sickened and horrified. I think what makes this all the more horrifying is that it was done to a defenceless infant.

Good Lord DS, you find the most morbid stories. And why do I always read them even though I know they're going to make me sick and want to run to daycare and go give my kiddos extra tight hugs...

Give your kids a hug anyway. Our world sucks and kids need the love and protection from their parents.
Heck, if DS didn't post them, someone else would. I suppose this is his PSA attempt

I've never felt this extreme combination of sadness, disgust, disbelief, and nausea. I can only pray for everyone involved and all of us with these images in our minds. I really pray that God has mercy on the mother's soul.

I do, lots of them every day. I'm going to be so sad when my son starts getting too cool to give his mom a hug and a kiss every day before school...
