Anyone with a kid under age 5 is going to tell you how sleep does not come easy. Your kid cries and you must get up and dry her eyes. A cough heard through the monitor is enough to rattle you out of a deep sleep.
Tending to your child night and day is something good parents do. Sleeping through a child crying is something most good parents cannot do, which is something our latest Mean Mom realized, so she did what she had to to catch some much-needed Zs.
She killed her baby, of course.
After beating her poor, little 1-year-old baby boy to death because he was crying in his crib, she hid his body in some nearby bushes, and then did what came natural: She went back to bed.
The story she told police was ridiculous. Last time she saw the boy was at 10:30 the night before, when she put him to bed, implying that she did not check on him all night. In fact, she claimed that she did not realize he was missing until 11 a.m. the next morning, which is when she woke up.
Maybe if she put her child to bed a little earlier, he would have slept a little better. Maybe not, but hey worth a shot. It kind of makes sense to keep a later schedule, especially since this Mean Mom obviously liked to sleep late herself, but I do not know any 1-year-old that will sleep past 9 a.m. no matter when bedtime is.
No prior abuse was detected, which makes this seem like a one-time failure, but what a huge failure it was. Friends of hers cannot believe she did it. But she did. She killed her baby, lied about it and let a team of 100 officers search for him even though she knew where his tiny body lay.
I'm glad she was able to grab a full eight that night. I hear that the sleeping in jail is not even that good. She will find that out soon enough.
