Parents Who Kill It's unimaginable to think a parent, someone who is by nature supposed to protect their children, making the choice to kill them. Unfortunately, filicide (the deliberate act of killing your own child) is not as uncommon as many may think. The accounts of these horrific true crimes have been condensed inside to simply inform and to spark your curiosity. Why Do They Commit These Acts Of Filicide? There are many reasons why a parent might kill their own child, from mental illness to revenge. Sometimes, the parent might be suffering from a mental illness that hasn't been properly treated. In most cases, it's a single parent who has killed their child or been responsible for their death. Sometimes, however, both parents are involved in the act as you will discover. One parent choosing to kill their child or children is sad enough but what drives both parents to commit such a crime? That is where the explanation of a mental illness falls short because how do two people suffer from the same psychotic breakdown at the same time. Beyond Child Abuse In the following book, we'll look at some of the most disconcerting accounts of filicide (and one case of neonaticide) in children of a variety of ages committed by both parents. From the 22-month-old toddler who was severely abused and neglected (and ultimately killed) to the nearly ten year old boy who weighed less than twenty pounds, we'll take a look at the crimes, the parents' motivations, and the aftermath. Although these might not be the most famous cases, they are still highly troubling and disturbing. While we will probably never completely understand the reasons a couple would kill a child, by studying their behavior and making an attempt to comprehend the situation, it's possible we'll be able to learn the early warning signs. By doing this, perhaps in the future we'll see fewer cases of children brought to death by the hands of their own parents. Would You Like To Know More?
