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.

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.

Child murder: a social taboo and one of the most abhorrent acts most of us can imagine. Meet the women found guilty of murdering their own children. They represent some of the most hated women in Australia. The infamous list includes psychologically damaged, sometimes deranged, women on the edge. But, as we will see, accused doesn t always mean guilty. Among the cases covered is that of Kathleen Folbigg, accused and found guilty of killing four of her children, even with a lack of any forensic evidence proving her guilt; Rachel Pfitzner, who strangled her 2-year-old son and dumped his body in a duck pond; as well as Keli Lane, found guilty of child murder though no body has ever been found. Dr Mallett goes back to the beginning of each case death s ground zero. That might be the accused s childhood, were they abused? Or was their motivation greed, or fear of losing a partner? Were they just simply evil? Or did the media paint them as such, against the evidence and leading to a travesty of justice? Each case will be re-opened, the alternative suspects assessed, the possible motives reviewed. Informed by her background as a forensic scientist, Xanthe will offer insight into aspects of the cases that may not have been explored previously. Taking you on her journey through the facts, and reaching her own conclusion as to whether she believes the evidence points to the women s guilt. Hear their stories."

This thesis examines three cases, in early 20th century Australia, involving young mothers killing infants and one case involving an older mother in a de-facto relationship who killed her three children. In only one case was the perpetrator found guilty and sentenced to death. There was a strong recommendation of mercy because of her youth and she was freed on probation.

It's not unusual for someone to have issues with their parents, but the 15 cases profiled in this book show that sometimes they can't be resolved with a conversation. In some cases, frequent physical and mental abuse led to murder, while other cases were just mentally deranged people taking out their frustrations on the closest person available. These short profiles show what happens when sons and daughters snap and end the lives of those who brought them into this world.

This compelling and unique collection of critical and creative work assesses for the first time cultural, literary, legal and historical representations and narratives about mothers who kill and filicide. The idea of a mother killing her child to many presents the greatest taboo, and the most disturbing and distressing aspect of maternal experience. In Toni Morrison's 1987 novel Beloved, escaped slave mother Sethe addresses her daughter Beloved whom she murdered out of desperation, in order to avoid her returning to a life of slavery and sexual abuse. Sethe reflects, “I'll explain to her, even though I don't have to. Why I did it. How if I hadn't killed her she would have died and that is something I could not bear to happen to her. When I explain it she'll understand.” This book goes beyond Morrison's widely known literary portrayal, in order to investigate a range of other, less known but no less challenging, examinations of maternal filicide. Have mothers who kill inevitably been portrayed as monsters in cultural representations? Or are there certain contexts that may urge us to reevaluate maternal behavior? And how might we counter the misogynist narratives surrounding maternal filicide which have governed literary and historical accounts and affected legal discourses? This wide-ranging and innovative volume examines the complex issues of infanticide and mothers who kill from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, in order to counter the misogynist cultural narratives that underpin prevailing stereotypes of mothers. The book includes creative work, essays on crime fiction, literature from across a range of historical periods, multicultural and Global South perspectives, legal and historical accounts, and more. Making an invaluable contribution to motherhood studies and gender criticism, this book offers a rich insight into current and cutting-edge research into this most troubling area of maternal representation.

TRUE CONFESSION--OR FALSE? Investigator (and former nun) Christine Bennett is appalled when a young woman claims to be the natural daughter of Sister Joseph, beloved Superior at St. Stephen's and Chris's dearest friend. But after the girl is murdered, all the evidence leads the police to believe she was telling the truth--and that Sister Joseph is the prime suspect. Can evidence ever lie? Chris prays that it can. But as she frantically searches for the link between the anonymous woman who gave away her newborn two decades ago and a brutal murder this Mother's Day, it seems only a miracle can save Sister Joseph from a life behind bars.
