Today we read an article about maternal filicide. This is when a mom kills her kids. A mom could do this if they believe that its what the child wants (Altrustic Filicide). Or she could do it if she hears voices that tell her to do it (Acutely Psychotic Filicide). The mother could also beat the child until they die by accident or if the child is unwanted. Sometimes the mother could kill the child if they want to get back at their husband. Overall this is not right. A mother should love her kids not kill them.
