Is It Time For Special Prosecution Laws For Parents?

We have Hate Crimes, Religious Crimes, and special Laws against attacking a Peace Officer. What about Parents who kill their own kids?

Hey folks,

Now you already know how a feel about Hate Crime Legislation. I've spoken out about this numerous times. If I kill you because I didn't like you, does it matter why? Are you any more Dead? If I kill two people, one Black, and one White, or one Straight and one Gay, is there a Difference in how dead they are? Then you get into the whole "Thought Legislation" thing that you all know I'm against.

However, I will admit, when it comes to a Parent killing their own kid? This I'm starting to think is the WORSE Crime that anyone can commit. There is just something wrong with the psyche of someone who can look at their own Innocent little Child and decide, I'm going to Kill it. If they are capable of this, what else are they capable of doing?

We have it in the news all the time. Mother kills her 5 kids. Mother accuse of drowning her three kids. Dead Child found to have been abused. In recent News, we have a Mother who admits she was Drunk the Night her Child disappeared. Of course, lets not forget about Casey Anthony, who many feel got away with Murdering her Daughter and is now becoming a Star. As sick as that may sound.

Here is a Story that caught my attention this morning. It by the AP - Woman who killed baby accused of stabbing mom

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A woman who killed her baby 25 years ago by throwing her into San Diego Bay was due to appear in court on new allegations that she repeatedly stabbed her 86-year-old mother in the face, a newspaper reported.

Lorenza Delgadillo Penguelly, 51, was booked Monday on suspicion of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune (http://bit.ly/rjUp7X ).

Penguelly was being held without bail and was scheduled for arraignment Wednesday. It wasn't immediately clear whether she had an attorney.

Authorities alleged Penguelly stabbed her mother in the face eight times Monday and also cut her arms and hands. The mother was taken to a hospital and was expected to recover.

Now here is a women who ADMITS to killing her kid. She even said this at the time.

"She didn't make any cry when I threw her in the water. She floated and moved her little arms," Penguelly said according to court records cited by the newspaper.

The day before the crime, Penguelly had been seen at the Grape Street Pier trying to give away the infant.

The baby's body was found by a 14-year-old who thought it was a doll, according to news reports at the time. The baby's identity wasn't then known.

So what was she doing out? Seriously. She threw her Baby in the Bay, claims the Baby didn't cry, which means she WATCHED it try to swim, and she is out, free to do whatever? According to this, she only got SIX YEARS!!!! After attacking her Uncle who was looking for the "Missing Child."

Penguelly was arrested a month later in Santa Monica after she attacked her uncle, who kept asking her where her daughter was, police said.

She then admitted that she threw the baby in the bay was returned to San Diego to face a possible life sentence on a murder charge.

Her attorneys argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, a rare maternal psychiatric disorder that can prompt mothers to kill. She pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, was sentenced to six years in prison and sent to Patton State Hospital in San Bernardino County for psychiatric treatment.

So because of Psychobabble and a Liberal Judge who said "Society had failed Penguelly and her baby by not making adequate Mental Health Resources available," she in essence, WALKED. Yet there is no evidence that she was seeking Mental Help. The "Diagnoses" was made after the arrest. So throw you baby in the Bay, watch it drown, and get SIX Years? Kill your kid and try to cover it up and WALK? I don't get it. I really don't

Does it make the Child anymore dead, if the Mother or Father kill it, or a stranger? No. Of course not. But there is something seriously WRONG with the Mother or Father that CAN kill their Baby. They should NEVER walk amongst free Society again. Minimum. They should get Life. Again I ask you. If they can do this? What else do you think them capable of?
