Moms Who Kill Mothers are supposed to be protective and shield their children from danger and destruction. Every child expects their mom to be there for them and instinctively trusts them. They would never expect their own mother of being able to commit such crimes, but they do. Why Do They Commit These Acts Of Maternal Filicide "Maternal filicide" is the technical term for the act of a mother killing her child. It is usually children under the age of eight who are killed by their mothers; those over the age of eight are more likely to be killed by their fathers. So what can make a mother cross the line and actually kill her own child-or, in some cases, children? A history of mental illness, drug abuse, and even perceived altruistic reasons have all been seen in these horrible cases. Andrea Yates, famous for drowning her children in the family bathtub, had a known history of post-partum depression and psychosis and had been advised not to have any further children. In some cases, the mother may stop taking her medication or avoid the counseling doctors recommend. In the case of Diane Downs, however, who attempted to kill all three of her children but only managed to kill her daughter, it was suspected that she committed the crimes to win the favor of an ex-boyfriend who had stated he didn't want any children. This isn't the only case that circles back around to a relationship. In fact, revenge on a partner might be one of the rarest reasons for filicide, but it happens as well. Beyond Child Abuse Women may only commit 14% of the violent crimes in the country, but filicide still remains prevalent. By learning what motivates these women to kill and attempting to understand their frames of mind it might be possible to identify at-risk behavior in the future and stop the violence. From famous cases such as Susan Smith to lesser known ones such as Michelle Kehoe, all maternal filicides are tragic and horrifying. The murder of a child can never be justified. In the following book we'll look at the murders and the aftermath of their horrifying, unimaginable actions and try to gain an understanding of what motivated them and how those around them seemed to miss the warning signs of their impending actions.

An inside look into patterns and potential prevention plans for one of the most hotly sensationalized crimes A special kind of horror is reserved for mothers who kill their children. Cases such as those of Susan Smith, who drowned her two young sons by driving her car into a lake, and Melissa Drexler, who disposed of her newborn baby in a restroom at her prom, become media sensations. Unfortunately, in addition to these high-profile cases, hundreds of mothers kill their children in the United States each year. The question most often asked is, why? What would drive a mother to kill her own child? Those who work with such cases, whether in clinical psychology, social services, law enforcement or academia, often lack basic understandings about the types of circumstances and patterns which might lead to these tragic deaths, and the social constructions of motherhood which may affect women's actions. These mothers oftentimes defy the myths and media exploitation of them as evil, insane, or lacking moral principles, and they are not a homogenous group. In obvious ways, intervention strategies should differ for a teenager who denies her pregnancy and then kills her newborn and a mother who kills her two toddlers out of mental illness or to further a relationship. A typology is needed to help us to understand the different cases that commonly occur and the patterns they follow in order to make possible more effective prevention plans. Mothers Who Kill Their Children draws on extensive research to identify clear patterns among the cases of women who kill their children, shedding light on why some women commit these acts. The characteristics the authors establish will be helpful in creating more meaningful policies, more targeted intervention strategies, and more knowledgeable evaluations of these cases when they arise.

MURDER IN THE FAMILY SERIES MOMS WHO KILLED THEIR KIDS One of the hardest things someone can live through is the loss of a child; after all, children are not supposed to die before their parents do. It goes against the natural order of things. Therefore, it is unimaginable that a mother, who had nurtured the child inside of her for nine months, would want to take the life of their own child or children. Unfortunately, this type of heinous act is something that has occurred worldwide multiple times over in history. It has been reported that over two hundred mothers in the United States each year kill their own children. In fact, it is one of the leading causes of death for children under the age of four. When a child dies at the hands of his or her own mother, it's completely unexplainable. It's hard for anyone to understand. By reading the cases of the mothers in this book, maybe someone, somewhere will recognize themselves or someone they know. Then they might be able to seek help and save this kind of senseless tragedy from ever happening again.

The dark double life of Ellen Boehm, the mother who murdered her two sons--and nearly killed her daughter Ellen Boehm, a single mom from St. Louis, Missouri, appeared devoted to her children. But in reality, she was unequipped for motherhood, financially strapped, and desperate. Within a year of each other, her sons, ages two and four, died mysteriously, and Boehm's eight-year-old daughter then suffered a near-fatal mishap when a hair dryer fell into the girl's bath. While neighbors wondered how Boehm remained so calm through it all, Det. Sgt. Joseph Burgoon of St. Louis Homicide had darker suspicions. Burgoon soon unraveled a labyrinth of deception, greed, and obsession that revealed a cold-blooded killer whose get-rich-quick scheme came at the cost of her children's lives. Boehm had taken out insurance policies on her children with six different companies totaling nearly $100,000. Using police reports, case documents, and photos, journalist John Coston recreates the events that led to one mother's unspeakable acts of filicide--and a cop's relentless pursuit of the truth.

In September, 2008, Roanoke, Texas, police discovered a house of horrors: poisoned pudding, a bathtub set up for electrocution, a bloody butcher knife, and a hank of chopped-off hair. The worst was yet to come… Days before, seventeen-year-old Jennifer Bailey, her thirteen-year-old brother David, and their friends Paul Henson and Merrilee White had made a gruesome pact: they’d kill their parents, steal their cars and credit cards, and flee to Canada. Paul and Merrilee’s parents thwarted their fates, but Jennifer and David’s mother Susan Bailey wasn’t so lucky. When the devoted mother returned home from work, her two children and their friend Paul took turns stabbing her and slicing her throat. When they were done, they fled in Susan’s car. They made it as far as South Dakota before being arrested. What really led them to make such a despicable pact? The answers would cast a disturbing new light on the way we see the all-American family, our neighbors, our children—and the society that nurtured them. Now an Investigation Discovery TV Special

What would drive a mother to kill her own child?. These mothers are not a homogenous group. In obvious ways, intervention strategies should differ for a teenager who denies her pregnancy and then kills her newborn and a mother who kills her two toddlers out of mental illness or to further a relationship.
