really sad. how can we as a society offer support to parents? something went wrong early and horrible here -- maybe it's past time to revisit the multigenerational household so the burdens of working, raising children, maintaining the abode do not fall only to one or two people but could be shared amongst many - nice to be able to have grandma or uncle step in and give young mom a break when the two year old is acting like a two-year-old!
I read and watch true crime, and often shake my head at how many people choose murder, rather than some other choice. In this case, why not adoption, for Pete's sake? Why do Americans choose murder when there are many other choices?
(no need to answer... just frustrated by my fellow citizens)
