Where's the Baby?

My mom read a version of this story in the local paper to me today:
http://www.crimelibrary.com/news/ap/0107/1105_put_baby_oven.html

How the HELL is this child abuse and not some sort of, oh, I don't know, ATTEMPTED MURDER?

What drives someone to put their kid in the oven? I told my husband tonight that he can leave me if he's unhappy, but that doesn't mean I'm pulling a Hansel and Gretel and throwing the kids in the oven so he'll want to come crawling back to my crazy ass.

Sometimes, there is so much goodness in this world, and then this comes up to remind us that we have hearts that are meant to be broken. I never dated in high school, so my heart was pretty much in tact until I got married and had my own kids. Missing Prom doesn't hold a candle to the cruelty that exists, and it just makes me so, so sad.

This is psycho!!! Can you imagine your husband coming home, taking a big whif in and saying "mmm... smells good honey what's for dinner?" And you saying "Oh a little something I whipped up." Open up the oven and there lies little baby tied up like a turkey with an apple in the mouth.

What the hell are people thinking!!!

Some people in this world are truely dimented and sad. I hope this chick gets life!
