Question

Its tragic, the poor poor kid

Answer 1

Paul C, your link states that the Grandfather Ron harmed Rose, not the Mum...poor poor little babygirl...yes, it does that family is very dysfunctional but dig a little deeper before you accuse the Mum of killing her, ok? What strikes me is that the Mum got custody from the child's father as this child was abused by that father. Do you think if she was abusive she would have got custody.???

i think Rose was harmed by her step-dad/grandfather, not her Mum.

Yup, leaving one's husband for one's father-in-law is dodgy but its not murder.

Answer 2

were they on drugs at the time or drunk?

Answer 3

there are some seriously nasty people out there

Answer 4

Because almost anyone can be a parent . But it takes someone special to be a mother or father .

Some just don't deserve to be parents . Poor little kid

Answer 5

I have linked this sad case before but only you think that there is a link to "any other we all know about" Perhaps you could explain to us all just what "we all know about"

Paul I have never made that statement. Full stop.

Answer 6

that is awful!!!!! evil evil people!!!

Answer 7

I don't know, I cannot imagine hurting my children.

However, there are some mental conditions that make it occur, and in some cases, people are just plain evil.

That's a tragic tragic case - that little girl was never loved properly :(

Answer 8

There can be many explanations for such an act ..

For example high levels of stress with a difficult child .

Underlying mental health conditions with the mother eg post natal depression

Sadly when children are murdered the vast majority of times concludes with parental involvement with the child's death

Answer 9

I don't know how anyone could kill a child. It's disgusting. I almost vomited when I read about the Ohio woman who microwaved her infant daughter to death. She was fighting with her boyfriend about whether he was the biological father or not. Sick.

Answer 10

I hate to be pedantic but that report does not suggest the mother harmed her child, but it was the grandfather.......

I'm not suggesting mothers dont harm their children, because I know they do. I just think we cant know all the facts from that one link.

Answer 11

It happens sadly. There are many mentally unstable people in the world as well as some truly evil people, and unfortunately some of them have children.

Answer 12

a mother is someone who loves and looks after her kids so really this woman is not a mother

Answer 13

I will never understand why family or strangers can be so evil, vile people. there should be a test b4 you are allowed to have children. Such a tragic world we live in

Answer 14

As a mother I could never harm any child let alone my own, the mind set of these evil people is beyond my comprehension.

Answer 15

I can't add anything more to what Ariana says.  

Answer 16

  I don't know how a Mother could harm her own child but I think selflessness.

Answer 17

There is something seriously wrong with her head
