Changing the logic that men are the common killers of children!
T. Risen
The Taboo Subject of Maternal Filicide.
Through research, I have discovered the following:
*According to Dr. Phillip Resnick in 2021. 68% mothers who kill their children are sent to mental hospitals, 27% are sent to prison; when fathers kill their children, 72% go to prison and only 14% are hospitalized.
*The US Department of Justice study found in 1997 that children under the age of eight are more likely to be killed by their mothers, while those eight and older are likelier to be killed by their fathers. Throughout childhood, sons are more likely to be killed than daughters. Currently, those statistics have changed.
*According to Brown University in 2014, over 500 children were murdered by filicide each year. 72% being under the age of six with 1/3 of that number being infants.
NOTE ABOVE: IF WOMEN WERE MOST LIKELY TO KILL CHILDREN UNDER 8 YRS. OLD, WOULDN’T IT BE LOGICAL THAT WOMEN ARE THE PRIME MURDERES OF CHILDREN?
Yet, it is taboo to believe women of sound mind kill.
Furthermore, why do women earn a privilege over men? In custody and in murder?
Maybe the following list may change the minds of those who still are in disbelief! Just a sample of the notorious women who heinously murdered their children. Yet, a percentage of these woman were found NOT guilty by reasons of insanity or other means. Fair? I think not! They were mere excuses to accept & exonerate the crimes committed by mothers.
