Poor little guy in Camden, NJ died at the hands of his MM, who had a history of mental illness and drug charges. In fact, her son had been taken away from her not once, but twice. The last time was after she left him in a car after smoking weed laced with PCP.
The big question is, why did she
have custody of the boy in the first place? Other questions are: what makes you
think getting loopy off some drug called WET is a good idea while you are
watching your kid? How do you bear to cut off the head of your own flesh and
blood?
Oh, yeah, mental illness, check.
Poor MM needed help, and it’s hard not to think that
failures in the system led to the boy’s death just as much as the kitchen knife
in his mom’s hand. She was in counseling and had just recently gotten custody of her boy. She called 911
after the disgusting deed, but blamed her boyfriend first, whom she had been sitting
with on the front steps while topless, and saying he stabbed the boy. She
finally admitted it was her, and then she killed herself with said knife as
well.
Guess she came down from the high and realized cutting her
kid’s head off was not something she could live with forever. Ugh.
