I believe that moomies have always murdered their kyds for various reasons, but they are just being caught more often now due to better police investigational tools/techniques and because the misconception that moocows LOOOOOVVVVVEEE their young more than anything in the world has been GREATLY dispelled. It was difficult to get any murder conviction on a female until recent years simply because juries were comprised of men who couldn't begin to imagine that a woman could be capable of such violence. I would venture to say that few female murderers were ever even considered suspects or arrested, charged, or regularly investigated as potential suspects until the past 25 years or so. I don't think we are seeing any more moomie murderers percentage wise, but certainly more moocows are being caught.
I realize there are mental illnesses which could manifest in such a way to render a moomie guilty/not guilty by reason of insanity or mental defect, but I believe that those cases are few and far between. I think that Andrea Yates was/is mentally ill. I also think that her husband had more to do with his kyds' drownings than Andrea did by perpetuating and even causing many of her breakdowns and episodes of insanity , yet he just lets her rot in the nuthouse as he goes on to marry another moocow as if nothing had ever happened. If the current Yate's whore is mentally ill then we may be seeing a replay of Yates kyd deaths in a few years and if so, that SOB needs to be prosecuted as an accessory/accomplice/conspirator, as do MOST duddys of killed kyds via moomie.
Other than some isolated cases of mental illness, the MAIN reason they kill their kyds is because they regret having had them for one or more reasons and see their deaths as a "way out". In every single case where they claim they were ALSO going to commit suicide, but of course they didn't, they killed those kyds methodically and in a well orchestrated and premeditated way. ANY and ALL of the ones who claim that they were going to commit suicide AFTER they got busted, took steps to conceal the crime(s) or make up stories about intruders, kidnappers, etc....... in 99% of the cases were/are guilty as hell and NOT mentally ill.
I believe that the NON mentally ill ones kill their kyds for a variety of reasons, but the following reasons seem to be the most popular among the cases I have read about or followed on documentaries:
Moomie killing kyds motives, IMHO
(not necessarily in order of most common)
1)To gain sympathy and attention when the newness of their prior attention, just for being knocked up and immediately following a birth, is waning or has dissipated.
2)To create a tragedy around herself in order to salvage a failing marriage or to mend a familial breakdown.
3)To make herself more marketable in order to catch or keep a new man, when kyds are not a part of his plans, or more commonly OTHER mens' kyds are not part of his plan or she perceives it that way.
4)This killer blames the kyd for her man's leaving or cheating. She is angered that her husband/man left her after baybee(s)/kyds
are born and she projects her anger and hatred at her man and/or the new woman in his life onto her kyd.
5)This one kills for her own perception of her potential happiness.
She realizes that no one pays attention anymore after a new baybee gets settled in and the covered dishes stop coming, the gifts cease,the attention is focused on the next new preggo in her circle, hubby starts "working" later and later with his single and non childed co-worker, and it's painfully obvious that the life she envisioned is not going to happen. This woman wants a new start, so to speak, and thinks if the kyd(s) were taken out of the equation then she could essentially start all over and not make the same choices the second time around.
6)This cold calculator kills in order to execute a life insurance scam as her motive is money. She has various reasons for the outright hatred of her own kyd or for the cold indifference to it.
7)The rationalizer could have any number of motives, but she convinces herself that the kyds would be better off dead than alive and the reasons they give span from religious to their living in a bad or poor environment. It nearly always boils down to a selfish reason because the root excuse of this rationalization never seems to cause her to follow through with suicide. If the kyds would be "better off dead", wouldn't she be better off dead as well? The rationalizer only fools herself and no one else.
8)Some moomies kill for no other reason than they are sick to death of shitty diapers, cleaning up vomit, incessant wailing, sick baybees, and a nursling demanding a teat or bottle every waking moment. They are run down physically and emotionally and also suffer from malnutrition and sleep deprivation as well as depression, would be my guess. Combine the physical and emotional stress of it and toss in a husband who refuses to lift a finger to help, a once beautiful and desirable body which has been RAVAGED by this little monstor replica from chin to thigh, and you have a famblee recipe for murder.
I can identify with this last type of moomie murderer the most of all because she has been disfigured, sleep deprived, malnourished, etc......while her husband has done absolutely nothing but stick his dick in and if she is lucky, has kept the power and water on until she can get back to work. YET, he reaps all of the benefits of duddyism with very few, if any, sacrifices of his own. However, I would be more likely to kill the husband than the kyd in this case scenario. Whatever reason(s) these whores give, the bottom line is that they killed their own kyds for selfish purposes. I think that they deserve a special death penalty in that her execution should be carried out in the same manner as she CHOSE to kill her kyd(s). I also do not believe that killing your own kyd can be "forgiven" no matter what religious transformation they claim took place or how many bibles they thump.
