I heard Voices

I can't imagine looking at my baby girl and thinking that she would be better of being dead. I see that child as a little piece of myself, who I am and what I stand for. I would want to do all in power to prptect her from all harm and sufferring. Yet today there an alarming report of mothers who kill their children under the belief that it is what is best for them. They claim to hear voices telling them to commit the act or they simply feel disattachment to the child and believe that it's in their right to do whatever they want to the child. I can't igamine what thoughts or feelings run through a woman's mind before and after killing her child. Severe child abuse or mental illness are said to be the cause of such murders and as much I don't want to judge what I don't understand, I find it rather difficult not to.
