"The child had scratch marks on her head and bite marks were found inside her mouth and on the bag as she apparently tried to free herself, according to other testimony."

What responsibility does McCarron bear in the murder of her

daughter?

It's not much different than the slew of school shootings-- the story is frequently that a nice kid suddenly goes psychotic while on or withdrawing from meds.

Really? Every case I am familiar with (not many admittedly) involves a

narrative of a person already disturbed in some manner.

The press is trying to spin it that it was McCarron's "obsession with finding a cure for autism" which drove her over the edge or was a sign of her basic "underlying" insanity.

McCarron, a former pathologist, testified she felt responsible for

's autism because she allowed the child to get vaccinated.

It "brought me a great deal of guilt," she said.

--

"Maybe I could fix her this way, and in heaven she would be complete,"

she said on the tape.

McCarron told police she felt like a failure because of the

child's autism and was sad and hurt because the child couldn't interact

with her very well.

"I loved very much, but I hated the autism so, so much," McCarron

said. "I hated what it was doing to her. ... I just wanted autism out

of my life."

<<

She is saying that herself isn't she?

Would be alive if she had been neurotypical? Would she be alive

if her autism had been less severe?
