India: Mom Axes Infant Son To Death On Highway, Claims He Was A 'Goat'

The accused, identified as Rashmi Lodhi, left her home with her 8-month-old son Saturday morning. When she returned in the afternoon, the baby was bleeding profusely, her family members told police.

When confronted, the woman told her relatives that the baby "was a goat and I have sent him where he belongs," local daily The Times of India reported. The incident happened in the northern Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

The family members wrapped the baby in a cloth and took him to a hospital. But the boy was declared dead at the hospital. The relatives initially claimed that the child suffered injuries after tumbling down the stairs. But the doctors noticed multiple injuries on his neck. The body was then sent for an autopsy.

A police complaint was filed the following morning. An investigation revealed that the woman placed the infant on the road and killed him using an ax. The weapon was also recovered. Neighbors told police that the baby might have been sacrificed by the woman.

Lodhi, who was believed to be mentally unstable, was taken into custody Sunday evening and admitted to a hospital for a psychological assessment. The charges levied against her were not known.

Too bad she didn't think he was a cow; his treatment would have improved.

India has to be one of the worst places to be born a woman.

If you escape being gang raped you will still end up in a prearranged marriage and forced to have children with a man that could be abusive to you.

I doubt this woman will get the help she needs.
