This is shocking to me. I had no idea. Why haven’t I heard about these other cases?[/quote]

Because they’re not well-off, reasonably attractive and “relatable” and white.[/quote]

Well then why did we hear so much about Andrea Yates? She doesn’t fit that profile except that she is white. [/quote]
Why do we hear more about some than others? Because clearly there are many many parents and particularly moms who kill their kids that never make national news? Why does the media cherry pick these cases? There’s no rhyme or reason. [/quote]
