I keep typing and deleting posts to this thread. The proper words escape me time and again. Every thought I have for what was done to this precious newborn brings such raw emotions to my heart and soul.
The feelings I have for the vessel who gave this child life go against my faith. I shouldn't think this way, yet I don't know how else to feel. I am angry, furious in fact! I literally hurt to the very core of my soul, as a parent, as a HUMAN BEING, that anyone could do this - much less a mother to her own child!

I am SO thankful for the bystander, who put it all on the line and made sure she did not escape the scene. I can't imagine the trauma they will live with forever with what they witnessed that night, but they were truly selfless.
I want justice for this baby. I don't know what that will look like yet, and I hope it fits the crime. I foresee a MH defense, and I'm going to have a hard time reconciling that with the torture inflicted on this NEWBORN.
It just doesn't fit with what we've seen so far. This unspeakable crime must be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

My heart is shattered.
