Mean Mom, zombie-style

Zombies have always been cool, but nobody likes a brain eater

This is one sick story

It popped up amongst the recent string of zombie-like attacks in a local headline feed, so it is by no means a recent news bit. In fact, the original click led to a dead link that apologized for luring the clicker to a story that originally ran in 2009.

It was easy enough to find a tidbit on the incident, but no so easy to forget the horror that it brings. Please stop reading now if you have an issue with textures and missing baby digits.

This MM, who is reported to be a schizophrenic, lost it in a house where many sharp items were stored. She used some of them to dismember her not-quite 4-week-old son. That was enough to kill him, though she went a step further and ate his brain to absolutely, positively make sure he was dead.

After all, it is a lot harder to tell if your munch has passed from just watching his respiration cease. If you cut some of his body parts off and then eat his brain you can be totally sure he is not coming back. This MM obviously had some problems. She could not distinguish from the two.

The really sick part is trying to decide whose fault it was. Can it all be blamed on the MM, or are those around her responsible, too? Postpartum depression and schizophrenia d not mix, and someone suffering from both of these deserves more support than this MM had. And her little boy suffered and died because of it.
