I agree. Can anyone imagine if an innocent Somalian man was in the vicinity and arrested for kidnapping and killing Sanaya? If there wasn't evidence like the CCTV capturing her mother waltzing back home to 'raise the alarm', this would be a different story. Would she have spoken up to save his hide, I don't think so. It's every man/woman for themselves in cases like these.
There are personality disorders that include symptoms - lack of empathy & compassion, a sense of entitlement, of being above the law, lack of guilt or remorse, people are seen as objects to be used, abused and discarded at will. These disorders won't save a perpetrator from a prison sentence because they know right from wrong and premeditation is always a given. But it 's still a mental illness and there is treatment, the sooner, the better.
If a child survives their babyhood, they can be scapegoated by this parent, treated harshly, abused, neglected and unloved. These children are the silent victims who we rarely hear about unless it is brought to the attention of social services or the authorities.
It's hard for most people to comprehend a mother discarding her child like a piece of garbage, I never understood it myself until recently. Imo, there is a difference between a mother with PND taking her child's life because they believe the child is defective or the world is a bad place. It's a temporary psychosis that can occur from extreme lack of sleep, isolation etc. A mother is in a state of shock and if she hasn't taken her life, she will reveal her state of mind to those around her and to the police.
I have no idea what Sanaya's mother has or hasn't, but I think it is wise to question the PND thrown around after the death of every single child killed by their mother. Imo, that is a serious mistake.
