Mother admits fatal act: Why did the baby have to die?
A shocking case from Vienna causes horror: a 30-year-old mother is suspected of having killed her premature baby in the Favoriten clinic. Little Melek, who was born shortly after her birth in a feature of drama - weighing just under two kilograms and 43 centimeters tall - was found in a dumpster after a shocking confession from her mother. According to the Vienna public prosecutor's office, the woman is being investigated for murder today.at reported.
During her interview, the mother admitted to making a drastic decision after not knowing how to deal with her unwanted pregnancy. She described how she smuggled Melek out of the clinic, only to dump her nearby after she started crying. Initially, her plan was to “dispose of” the baby and she supposedly hoped the little one could remain undetected. An investigator commented that the mother's confessions were "too cold and horrible" when police confronted her after she claimed the baby had been kidnapped. She later changed her story and gave the supposed reason that she had “gifted” little Melek to a cleaner, which was dismissed as nonsense. The baby ultimately died from the injuries sustained.
Family conflicts and psychological stress
The tragedy could have deeper causes in a family conflict and psychological pressure. Reports from the clinic and the Turkish community indicate that the mother was under considerable pressure, not only from her own family, but also from the child's father's family. How oe24 reported, the woman may have suffered from postpartum depression or psychosis. She had kept the pregnancy a secret and when she returned from the clinic it was the moment when she no longer felt able to cope with her mental state.
The child's father, who was involved in the pregnancy, was not supportive during this critical period, and both family members and the father of the internalization of the terror often appear to have been a source of pain. The accusations of harassment could indicate that hostility and pressure from families led to this terrible act. The 30-year-old was remanded in custody, while lawyer Astrid Wagner emphasizes that the circumstances are much more complex than they initially appear.
