You have a point, John. I was simply stating that the truly headline-grabbing cases of maternal pedicide seem to fall into two general categories: 1) mothers who smother newborn infants and discard the remains and 2) stay-at-home mothers who seem to "snap". I know that those are generalizations (and all generalizations are bad, including this one) yet a kernel of truth is nevertheless there. There is a higher-than-normal incidence of mothers home-schooling their children in the area where I live; thus, this case opens a potentially dangerous door, because it is only a matter of time before this town experiences its first murder....

I am still curious that apparently no one saw any signs pointing out that something was wrong before events became irreversible. How can you not know that someone is losing touch with reality, especially when you are around that person on an almost daily basis, unless you don't want to see it? She was in a church; didn't they have any sort of support structure in place to help?

Finally, Ms. Laney claimed that she was receiving messages from God. [img]graemlins/erm.gif[/img] Exactly how did she know that the messages were indeed from God? Did he show her his official two forms of identification? Blood sample taken for DNA scan, was it? *knock* *knock* "Hello, I'm God, and I have a message for you...."
