I am not sure if someone has posted this, and I'm not sure where to post this. Mods, please move this if it's in the wrong area.

I thought the cruelty of this case was especially awful. I did not realize the woman actaully revived the 3 year old boy with CPR, then actually suffocated him AGAIN. Oh my. May he rest in peace.

Now if this isn't mental illness, I don't know what is.

I know it's mental illness, but I just feel utter rage and hatred for this woman, not pity. The suffering that child must have gone through, at the hands of his mother, is unimaginable.

I know we all get very angry when something likes this happens, but just think, she was alone and homeless in that park with the child. On a planet with 7 billion people why wasn't there one there to ask if she needed help. It might of saved the boy.

It is so sad that our society has cut help toward the mentally ill along with other programs for the disabled.

Was there no one nearby? How about a church, fire station, school, another mom. This is how i felt when Susan Smith killed her boys in my state. Give them to me I thought, don't do it. Another little angel too soon. OMG.
