Thanks, peeples for the article, From the link: " . . . field tested positive for the presence of heroin" - apparently, the mom is an addict.

Bradie Simpson, 39, charged with first-degree assault & armed criminal action; bond at $200,000

weird she had called LE prior to this incident -- wonder if she was seeking help (as she was from her pastor, apparently) or setting up someone . . .

The probable cause statement also says deputies learned that Simpson told a pastor last October to hold her little daughter because “she was possessed and feared she might kill” her.

Drugs . . . killing America

Thank goodness the little one survived.

You've got to read this article...all the way to the bottom. The pastor tried to get help.

Sounds like major mental illness and the mom tried to get someone to take the baby
I really wish she hadn't hurt the baby and I really wish someone would have taken the baby from her when she cried out for help the first time

Sad story all the way around.

Yet another mother trying to kill her child. When will it STOP??

Five days after a sheriff's deputy found her in the woods with knife wounds on her neck and wrist, a 9-month-old baby girl was released from a hospital and into protective custody.

Why in the world would someone want to hurt their own child is beyond me! I just don't understand why these things just keep happening. It seems like we hear of something bad happening to a child daily now. I'm just sick of it.

That is wonderful news! By the sound of it, I was very afraid the baby wouldn't make it. It didn't sound too promising. So glad they were able to save her life.

January 2014:

A psychiatrist's testimony Wednesday convinced a judge to set aside a Camdenton woman's Alford plea. The doctor said Bradie Simpson was suffering from a mental disease at the time of the alleged attack.

I'm glad to hear she's doing so well and getting help at long last. I wonder if postpartum depression/psychosis played a role along with the trauma of her boyfriend's death so soon after her baby's birth.
