The crimes these days get more and more gruesome and savage.
When I first head on the radio the report of this killing, I did not realise how horrific it really was, I just said to my wife, "at a time when most little children are dreaming about what Santa is bringing them, here is a little girl who is being stabbed to death by her own mother, that little girl will not see this Christmas or any other".
Before anyone leaps in to say that she hasn't yet been found guilty of killing her young daughter, I say yes I agree, but believe the evidence is damning.

Poor little girl, poor mother who did it.
People cry out for help with mental health problems. They're not listened to and then something like this happens.
I'm not saying this mother did look for help, but there have been cases reported recently where mentally ill people committed serious crimes after being turned away by the people who should have treated them.

I have suffered from mental health problems most of my adult life and have found that most 'mentally ill' people are just normal people - some are okay and some are scary. But I there is usually a strange logic to what they do - crazy logic perhaps, but they are not doing some cruel thing to another being on a whim.
There are some truly evil people in this world who have no respect for human (or non-human) life. They do evil things because they can and they want to. These people should not be allowed to breed and should be locked up until the end of time.

Truly sad and horrific....but certainly not confined to 'these days'.......
http://www.infanticide.org/history.htm ......sometimes the result of stress and madness,at other times quite deliberate,and due to attitudes of the society within which it occurs.
I am inclined to think a crime of such horror is due to mental instability,as a 'normal' person would not do something quite so horrific.

Its the law in this country that a mentally ill person cannot be sectioned unless they are a harm to themselves or anyone else. Also our jails are full of schizos needing medical treatment but are classed as ordinary criminals,
From what stems from the above is the lack of awareness as to the mentally ill. I find it hard to believe that the mother had not previosly sought help from her GP and was on some form of medication that she refused to take.
The answer lies in correct diagnosis and controlled supervised use of drugs and administered similar to being an in-patient at a hospital but in most cases the out-patients department..
