I don't agree with trying to pin this on the religion. As I said in a previous thread, mental people are mental, no matter what their background is.
Thank you for trying to bring balance to the discussion. Our prisons are filled with people who grew up around poverty, violence and abuse. Those are contributing factors to the choices they've made in life, as well. But they don't get a free pass because of it. They aren't absolved of personal accountability.
Let's keep a little perspective, people. There should be something inherent and instinctive in us, which supercedes WT dogma, that makes certain actions unfathomable. Any person who would beat a newborn child to death has psychological issues that run far deeper than the WT. That is what this woman did- beat her own newborn child to death.
Some of the responses on this thread border on pathetic.
