We live in disturbed world.

From the Omaha World Herald today.

A sixteen year old girl who gave birth to a newborn this morning, and then threw the newborn out a two story apartment window. The newborn died before first responders could revive the infant. This happened in Omaha this morning.

Very sad.

Infanticide is not a new phenomenon. It was happening long before humans existed.
