Love how people always jump straight to drugs, but there’s a variety of mental illnesses both permanent and temporary that could cause a mother to do this.

Are you suggesting people should assume postpartum depression/psychosis when they see stories like this?

What quick conclusion should people arrive at in your opinion

What quick conclusion should people arrive at in your opinion

I’d wait for relevant information before arriving at a conclusion, but that’s just me.

No way I have about a minute to read the headline, make my assumption, comment, and move on to the the next lem

The theoretical world is awesome. Let’s pretend we are in the real world where it’s much more disappointing

People should stop being dumb af and wait until we have all of the information, but this is also on journalism too since there’s so much emphasis on “if it bleeds it leads” and other reasons to pump out an incomplete story, they should emphasize on accuracy instead and make a bigger deal out of retractions and corrections, especially in this age of disinformation and propaganda.

I’m with you 100%, but if we take a journey in the real world for a second, I’d appreciate an answer to my question.

Also, as an aside, if you hear of a baby dying from being put into an oven mistakenly - what is your raw reaction as a human? Do you just say “oh goobers.” Or do you start poking at how this could happen? If you do start to poke, who or what do you poke first and why?

You make a great counter example of what not to do. So, none, they shouldn’t be making a quick conclusion on a complex topic. Like the above comment…

How about no quick conclusion?

I have never in my life heard of roasting a baby outside Hansel and Gretel.

I have, however, heard about a LOT of drug use.

That would suggest we have an extremely complex situation here with no “quick” answer.

I would guess this one is mostly sleep depervation and poor diet.

Tuna casseroles are cheap, but they are not very nourishing. But that only begins to explain this one.

Why do people keep assuming the crib would be in the kitchen? Or that a crib is the only place we put babies? There’s basinets, bounce chairs, high chairs, play pens, strollers, car seats, and all kinds of other things where a parent can put a baby while they do things around the house, like cooking and cleaning in the kitchen.
