Unspeakably disgusting

This case of the woman in Brooklawn who allegedly killed the 3-week-old baby is just unimaginable. She apparently cut him across his belly and may have thrown him down the stairs as well. She wasn't the mother, she was an ex-girlfriend of the father. Here's today's story: http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061120/NEWS01/611200347

It's amazing, since becoming a parent, how much closer to home this kind of stuff feels. What she allegedly did was disgusting whether or not I was a parent. But when I imagine Nathaniel and how absolutely defenseless he is and what the sound of him crying feels like, it makes this kind of act all the more astonishing.

I mentioned to Amanda on Saturday how cutely helpless Nathaniel was when she was taking him out of a car seat. He just stretched out and looked around while enjoying being carried. There was no attempt to protect himself from being dropped or anything worse (not that he'd need to protect himself, that's what he has us for).

And to think that someone took advantage of a baby's helplessness to take vengeance on another adult (as may be the case here) is just sickening. I don't know what else to say.

I would like to know what kind of monster does this to a helpless child. At three weeks old they just wanted to be cuddled and loved. I could not ever imagine hurting my child. This Gloria lady may need some real help, this definitely has to be a case of mental insanity. I would like to think that it was not calculated crime. That she snapped. I would like to know why she did it, was it for love, jealousy or revenge. Whatever it was it was sick and disgusting. I will definitely be following this case to see its outcome.

Where was the mother of the child, and if this so called woman was an ex-girlfriend, why was she in the house? What a tragedy this was and how disgusting I felt when I read this. This murderer should rot in prison for eternity or longer. Maybe she should perish under the same circumstances.
