Korean Mom Kills 5-Year Old Son Because He Liked His Dad
Some people are just nuts and need to be locked away for good like this woman:
A woman who allegedly killed her five-year-old son in Gyeonngi Province was arrested Monday.
The woman, 38, identified only as “A,” allegedly drowned her son in a bathtub at her house on Sept. 10. Police said the boy was gagged and his hands tied.
The mother changed her son’s clothes after killing him and laid him in her room to cover up the crime.
“B”‘s older sister found the body and called police. Police said the mother first told them the boy had died suddenly in his sleep, but then claimed he had drowned while playing in the tub by himself.
After checking CCTV footage near her house, police found that the mother had forced her son into house. They also found duct tape, allegedly used in the killing, in the house.
Police said the mother told them she killed her son because he was fond of her husband, who did not get along with her. [Korea Times]

Jesus. Chop her up.
I’ll do it. Get me an ice pick.
“The mother, who had been taking depression medication for three years, claimed she was depressed because her husband did not take care of children, police said.”
There have been a lot of folks “taking depression medication” who do terrible things. To me this sounds like psychiatric malpractice. And no, I don’t think the doctors who prescribe these meds should get off the hook. It’s their job to know. And if she was on the meds for three years and it wasn’t working, it was the wrong meds. Was there no counseling? Why wasn’t her “husband” more involved in the treatment?
Yeah, she needs to be punished; but not alone: both doctor and husband need to ‘splain themselves…
Medical information is private, her husband isn’t ipso facto privy to her personal health information. I’ve never seen counseling help a case of crazy. I’ve seen counseling empower crazy.
Consider mental health “professionals” are more likely to have mental health issues than any other career category. Also consider marriage counselors have among the highest rates of divorce.
Those are both excellent points.
“I’ve never seen counseling help a case of crazy. I’ve seen counseling empower crazy.”
Hmmm… just what I was thinking… but not in such brilliant wording.
I will be stealing that line, thank you.
