scottcooks said:A reason for no more photos, is there is no money. There is a lot going on in this family's life right now, affected more by media attention. Pray.
pamperedape said:Actually, she is FROM here with some of her family living right IN the house. Even if she was from the furthest point from here with no family, that wouldn't be any excuse. My very best friends are military wives who practically raise their children with no help whatsoever.
I'm sorry - I have NO sympathy for her.
pamperedape said:Too many MURDERING mothers are patted on the head and excused because of "depression". The bottom line - she put her dead child in the attic. For weeks. She MAY have even MURDERED her. We don't know that yet. We do know one thing - her baby girl didn't deserve to be treated like yesterday's trash. For weeks that baby lay up there rotting. Exactly - there WERE other children in the house. How screwed up are they going to be now? I will never accept depression as any sort of excuse or reason to do something like this to someone. Perhaps THAT is why these horrific crimes keep happening. "Insanity".
Exactly.
Still - I have no sympathy for her.

quiverfull7 said:Okay... stop y'all... please... this kind of issue makes the mama bear in all of us come out but let's not jump on one another okay? Please... I care too much about everyone here not to jump in and ask for this not to go any further. We're all sad for this little infant and her family and none of us understand. We all process things differently .... let's put our energy into praying and thinking about this family.

JTNT8704 said:I completely agree. You cant attack her for her feelings everyone. Shes a mom, a mom to an infant. As am I. And I could not EVER fathom something like this.
I read an article that this mother logged on over 9 hours a day playing Final Fantasy Online in the weeks after this happened. So what were those 3 other kids doing during that time? Even if the death was accidental, her first instinct should not be to throw her in a garbage bag and start playing video games! Too many people misuse post partum depression. Its starting to be an excuse for too many, and its terrible for those who really suffer from this- because its getting bad press.
A girl in my hometown killed her 18 month old son about 6 weeks ago. She was strung out on drugs on a regular basis. And her son cried. So she smothered him for 20 minutes with a pillow, then waited another 20 minutes before she called 911. When the 911 operator tried to talk her through CPR, she laughed. She gave a full confession when the police showed up, again still laughing about it. Her lawyer too claims PP Depression. The child was 18 months old? The one above is 11 months old...
Before you go and accuse someone of "ignorance" you too should have all the facts. Women who suffer PP Depression are remorseful, they are DEPRESSED, they have emotional outbursts and mostly all within the first 8weeks to 6 months of the childs life. Both of these women went on the day like any other normal day- playing video games, laughing, chatting on myspace... Did anyone read how she dressed this poor baby in a "Daddys little girl" outfit before she put her in the trash bag? Pretty emotional for the father when he first saw her Im sure.
Im not doubting there is some sort of mental disease in this situation- wouldnt there have to be to do such things? But the truth of the matter is, this society is too quick to judge and put labels on people to give them excuses for their CRIMES. Plain and simple, a poor innocent beautiful baby girl has lost her life.
Military family or not, doesnt matter. Actually there are more resources available for military families then there are civilian families. I have actually volunteered and mentored for one of them here at our post.
So, Im sticking up for pamperedape. Both as a mother, a military spouse, and a healthcare professional. If anyone is interested in facts or reading more about PP Depression, I would love to pass resources along.
Everyone is going to have their own feelings about this situation. Mine changed dramatically when I became a mother. Many of you are religious and have your beliefs and strong feelings for forgiveness, and thats great too. But you have to remember that not everyone has such strong convictions, and cant hear a story about a dead infant and release it to "God's will".
I enjoy this forum, and hope that everyone here can learn something from one anothers beliefs and we can all continue to get along.

The person responsible for name-calling and bashing on the missing baby update is unknown. It could be a random internet user or someone connected to the case.
Name-calling and bashing on a missing baby update is considered horrid because it is insensitive, hurtful, and adds unnecessary negativity to a sensitive situation.
The update on the missing baby is that she was found in the attic, in a trash bag. This is a heartbreaking and tragic discovery.
The baby was found by authorities searching the house and eventually discovering her in the attic.
The current condition of the baby is unknown. However, the fact that she was found in a trash bag is extremely concerning and it is likely that she has suffered some harm.
