Jenny Gibbs Bankston was a Birmingham wife and mother who committed infanticide and suicide a week before Christmas 2007. Her family has begun a foundation in her memory.
women have been giving birth since the beginning of mankind,why is it murdering ones own children is just now happening(well in just the past couple decades) and getting labeled?AND a legal defense nowadays to get off for murder charges! Another issue I find odd in this new age diagnosis,WHY do these women only kill their children? When I went thru my depression after the birth of my son many moons ago,I wanted to kill the hubby,NOT the baby. Sorry but i simply have never bought into this postpartun depression bunk. Society created these monsters with the "all about me" mode.All the signs are there,1."I was bombarded with all the responsibilities."..well women used to give birth to much larger families than they do now,were they not bombarded as well? 2."I never had anytime for myself...yet another "ME" statement.The one i have always detested most is ," God told me to do it because I was not a good mother and now they can be in Heaven with Him". I could go on,but most of you have read the stories, they all go back to the ME reasonings and excuses for taking the lives of the very said children they gave birth. They have been bombarded with a warped society filled with far too many expectations of perfection and anything less is unacceptable(back to the "ME").There are no perfect mothers,there is no raising the perfect child. Okay off my soapbox now,this one is one of my pet peeves in life.
I had a friend who killed her boyfriend after the birth of her child. Its not just the kids they kill. Besides, this woman killed herself. She wasn't trying to get away with murder.
