I know it's already been discussed but I wonder if it was some kind of mercy idea in her head. Completely wrong of course. Perhaps she'd seen a baby - in her eyes - suffer a lot, and didn't want more to go through it. I know people with very prem babies who had to have lots of interventions at birth and in the years after and it is very hard, some have lots of surgeries and survival can be touch and go for a long time. Many have life-long effects from all this. Of course, the babies are much-loved little miracles who touch their parents' and others' lives and to take away that chance to survive and thrive is evil... I just can't think of another scenario where someone would do this on purpose. But of course reading these threads I am continually surprised by how low man (and woman!) will go, so who knows what has happened.
I would rather - if there is a better outcome for this case, and let's face it there isn't one really - the poor babies are still gone - that we found out it all happened due to serious failings and nothing more.
