Answer 1

It's terrible to think how many children have been killed by their parents either through direct or indirect neglect or abuse.  There are millions of abused and neglected children in the world; wouldn't your energy be better directed at reducing the causes of that abuse and neglect rather than continually harping on about one family you facetiously 'believe' harmed their missing child?  You could start by giving up The Daily Mail as a news source as it breeds ignorance and contempt.

Answer 2

The young kid did it. Probably got the idea from reading anti drug stories in the Daily Mail.

Answer 3

Kerry

"but most normal people love their children to bits. men and women."

Exactly, and they don't go out boozing leaving their kids alone

This story is tragic, I dread to think what that poor kid went through

Answer 4

I remember when this originally happened.  Its horrific.  Here is another case of a person who should never have had kids.

Answer 5

If a kid is known to put cats in a microwave...I sure would not have him at my house with a newborn.

After reading more areas of this story i do not think she did it.

Answer 6

That is the most horrible story I have read today, of course women can harm their children, it is not a select few from chavvy broken homes as many would have us believe, it is people from all walks of life from lawyers to road sweepers, you never know who is capable of doing these things until alas more often or not it is too late.

Answer 7

i want to know how just ANYBODY is allowed to have children, ..i mean you have to pass a test before you can drive ..i think you need to pass a test before you are allowed to have the privilege of a child to call you mummy ..or daddy!!!

michael ..this isn't neglect.. it is abuse (and murder!!) ..do you not see the difference? ;)

oh and who is the sad g!t that is thumbing down on a question like this? ..pathetic!

Answer 8

This is as distressing as All cases of child abuse and murder.

There is no excuse in Today's society,The Mother must have been very mentally ill. Or sick , as with every case like this, the question lingers Why did it come to this,

Why do these people have children,and Why do they carry on to have more??

Answer 9

oh my god,,, so either she put her own child in an oven and killed her,, or, she was so drunk that she was not aware that her (clearly) mentally disturbed young cousin did, and was not able to stop the cousin killing her baby

what a nightmare

Answer 10

American stories in the Mail - now that's REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel and as it hasn't been mentioned anywhere else I don't give any of it much credence.

Answer 11

Mother's can harm their children, but isnt it interesting that there was a child present who had a history of putting animals in the microwave.  

If the mother had never shown any signs of having hurt her baby before, then why wasn't this lead checked.  Most people who go on to kill, start off by killing and harming animals

Answer 12

I'm not reading it. I've read enough depressing news. Of course mothers can harm their kids. their are a lot of sick people about. but most normal people love their children to bits. men and women.

I thought you had a good job and was intelligent? I'm sure you can come up with better questions.

(and I'll have a diet coke with that please :)

Paul C, of course they don't, I didn't say that was normal.

Answer 13

sometimes they are making too much noise..  (sorry, dark humor)

I personally believe that she should be put in a giant microwave oven, 10 minutes, full power..)

Answer 14

oh god I don't even want to read it

and dave I've never ever heard anyone say it's impossible for a mother to harm a child

Answer 15

news reports like this are overwhelming.. I don't like any kind of abuse that children have to endure.

Answer 16

There's an old (sixties-era) urban legend with this exact same story.

A young couple has decided to go out alone for the first time since their baby was born. There was a nice teenage girl living down the street who they hired to watch their infant.

While the parents were out, the girl decided to take LSD.

The parents come home and notice that the teenager looks dazed. They also smell something cooking. They ask her about it, and she says she put the roast in the oven for dinner. The mother, confused by the girl's demeanor and knowing she didn't have any roasts, heads over to the oven to see what's in there. She finds her baby.

That was my first thought. My second thought is that the older cousin who likes to put cats in the microwave may have put the baby in there. It's hard to know without all the facts.

Answer 17

Now Dave here is a case of REAL neglect . Learn from it my friend and there are many more cases like this one all far far worse than the McCanns. I think that you have just shot yourself in the foot . Get well soon

Izo. Oh yes I can see the difference but many anti McCanns can't which is why so many  accused the McCanns of murder. Got it ?
