> [@Hampshire](#): > > Did she give birth at hospitals? I wonder how often a pregnant woman shows up with no one in tow to a hospital, gives birth, has no visitors, and leaves with the child on her own? > Has anyone who’s ever worked a maternity ward seen this? My MIL is a nurse/midwife, so she has some contact with the maternity wards. According to her, it’s not the usual pattern, but not unknown at least in the big public hospitals. Unless the hospital staff noticed other red flags for potential abuse they would not be too concerned beyond making certain mother and baby had reliable transportation. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > There was another “SIDS serial killer” who later adopted a child, but for some reason, she spared that one. Can’t remember her name right now. Waneta Hoyt, mentioned in the Wikipedia article about Marie Noe. Psychologists have said that she killed her babies because she couldn’t handle the competition for her husband’s affection. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > I just don’t see how women can go to all the trouble of having their babies, and then do that. If she didn’t want that baby, she should place it for adoption. Well, that would the logical, psychologically healthy thing to do, yes. I think, though, that we can probably all agree that these people are the polar opposite of psychologically healthy. ---
