Evil.

[Dollface]

Omg

[Ramsay]

A nice wee shotgun to her kneecaps will do nicely

[JoshBB]

****ing bitch. i hope she gets all that's coming to her

[Kazanne]

disgusting excuse for a human being.

[Livia]

How awful... but this woman can't have been in her right mind. She must have been suffering from some kind of mental health issue. I can't believe someone could do that to a child without suffering some kind of breakdown.

I agree with this particularly as she phoned the emergency services from the bridge.

It is a heinous thing to do but something in me thinks she must have not have been of her right mind

Poor child

Poor child

And I read her husband also has MS which must have added to the pressure. In the photo the child looks well-dressed, comfortable, clean... not neglected. It's an awful thing to have happened but she must have just snapped. Poor little sod...

Having looked at this again and thought about it Livia,I see he is well cared for apparently,he looks happy and she has cared for him for 6 years,and it's a truly terrible thing to do I cant help but think she must have snapped,but how cruel.

Yeah, it's a truly horrible thing to have happened. I hope it was quick for him.

[Black Dagger]

What an adorable boy

Nasty bitch, I am never usually blood thirsty but chuck her over one!

[kirklancaster]

It is horrific, but I agree with Livia, Anniek and Kazz that the child looked very healthy, happy, and well cared for, and in light of the other information regarding her husband, I also agree that as terrible as this is, she may deserve our pity.

[Kizzy]

Hmm, mentally afflicted I don't know if I feel as much sympathy for this woman as the psychopathic teenager if I'm honest.
Cases of infanticide have been discussed here before, I don't remember there being such a sympathetic response to this issue.

[Tom4784]

Hmm it seems like a case of the woman sadly snapping under the strain of it all. It's a difficult one, it's hard to imagine someone being capable of that but it's also not easy to condemn her completely as it seems like it was a momentary lapse in sanity bought on by her family's situation.

If only there was more help available to this family, I reckon this could have probably been avoided.

..yeah I agree with this, it's hard to comment without knowing more of the story..it is hard to fathom how a mother could ever do something like this to her child but we don't know her mental health leading up to it or anything about her so I would be reluctant to condemn her...an extremely sad and tragic story....

I agree here Ammi.

It is totally incomprehensible to us how any mother could physically pick up her child and throw him from that bridge, but we are not her and have not walked in her shoes.

In am not condoning it, it is abhorrent, but she must have had a total mental and emotional breakdown, because this one tragic act would appear to 'fly-in-the-face' of all her previous known maternal behaviour concerning her child as far as we know currently.

Someone said that she should have put the child up for adoption if she knew she couldn't cope, but perhaps what was happening to her psychologically was on a subconscious level.

The brain is a billion times more complex than a computer, and is so finely balanced and fragile, that drugs and drink can alter the mind and lead to temporary 'insanity' (most irrational crimes are committed while under the influence of drink especially) so who knows what years of stress can do to a particular type of person; one who ignores it and stoically 'soldiers on', while all the time - on a subconscious level - the cumulative effects of such stress are building, silently eating away at her sanity, until some 'straw that breaks the camel's back' incident causes a totally sudden, devastating psychological melt-down?

Think about your laptop- it has got a virus. Most of us who switch it on one morning to find it 'acting up' even slightly, will run a scan and try to find out what's wrong. Yet there are some who will ignore it and keep using the laptop. The 'problems' may get worse over time, but still that person continues to ignore it and use the laptop. All the time that this machine is functioning, inside its very complex 'brain' the virus is growing, corrupting, until one day, the machine goes totally beserk.

We don't know, but what I do know; assuming that this woman was a previously caring mother, and assuming this was a breakdown, then she will live the rest of her life wracked by inconsolable grief and unbearable guilt.

If she was a callous murdering bitch, then I doubt for one moment whether one gram of remorse will trouble her.

I'll wait and see.

[Heaven = Winner]

Vile. Actually vile.

If she didn't feel like she was able to look after the child anymore, she could've easily put him up for adoption. There is no need whatsoever to kill that poor child.

[Kizzy]

Her family didn't have a situation her partner had MS, a totally manageable condition and her little boy was autistic 1000's are, there's no indication where on the autistic spectrum he was.

[LikeABoatOnWater]

This is like in Melbourne where the dad had an argument with his wife so took their 4 year old daughter and chucked her of the huge west gate bridge.

[Mystic Mock]

Whoa what an ugly looking Mother.

Being serious if she felt like that she couldn't look after the child anymore then put him up for adoption, I think that he would've preferred that to being murdered by his Mother.

Also it doesn't matter if she used to care for him well, she still murdered him when there was other options that she could've took, I've got no sympathy for her tbh.

..I do understand what you're saying Mock but that's all rational/logical thought from a healthy mind and that's something she may not have had..my thoughts are that she didn't and sadly, completely lost her coping abilities but it'll be interesting to know more with this story...

My toaster can be a right pain in the backside to get working in the mornings but I don't go and chuck it off a bridge, how can any mental state lead to somebody throwing their defenseless child off of one. I think this is an extreme action regardless of somebodies mental state, I think she's just evil deep down, and this was her enabler.

..possibly but that's something we don't know and of course it's an extreme action, how could it not be..but when we think about things, we think about them with a calm mind and not a mind of chaos and confusion and we have no idea what her mental health was/is..no, it doesn't make this any less horrific or shocking but I would be loathe to condemn her as just being a 'bad person' because I also think that in doing that..that in itself 'enables' for people in real crisis to not get the help that they need...'oh that's just an evil person, we don't need to address whether 'signs' were not identified/whether that person was getting support' etc....anyway, none of us know which is why I'll be interested in knowing more with this story...
