Yep, I have unfortunately seen quite a bit of that. Several summers ago I made three in less than 30 days (a very rough month I will not forget). All in the same area, all the same reason. To be perfectly clear, these were not "accidents" or neglect or illness related. The mother or the father or boyfriend, whatever, killed the baby because it wouldn't stop crying, or loud playing, or being hungry. Their emotional affect on the scene (before they had an audience) was of complete annoyance with all the questions and demands. Once they had an audience, the screaming and writhing on the ground would start.
Try to imagine the emotional toil of trying to save a dying child while the killer is standing there glareing at you for asking questions....

Local city government formed groups, did studies, implemented programs. They danced all around the problem, came up with different names for it, burned through a boatload of tax money.

For that very reason I could NEVER be a first responder or an officer. I'd be the one in jail after seeing that a couple times, I can't deal with anything done to kids, that is not a COMPLETE accident!
