One of the most disturbing news stories I have heard since moving to the UK

and it happened not that far from me:

--

Care order for cooker baby killer

A woman who killed her three-week-old baby by burning him on a cooker top has been sentenced to round-the-clock supervision in a care home.

Cheryl Green, 40, of Peckham, south London, was made the subject of a "guardianship order" at the Old Bailey.

Green admitted manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility.

It is understood that her son Mickle, who was born prematurely, was found burning on a cooker on 22 April last year. He suffered 90% burns and died.

I can't even imagine thinking about doing that.
