Is there anything more reprehensible than Filicide--that is, the intended act of a parent killing his or her own child? In "Parents Who Killed Their Children," the author shines a powerful light on this dark and sordid phenomenon. First, Parker offers a number of possible psychological and environmental causes of filicide. Then he presents ten shocking, real life case histories of parents who murdered their children. The result is a book that is bound to make you rethink the absolute sanctity of motherhood and reflect on why some mothers do indeed "eat their young." This is a powerful read and another hard-hitting, compelling entry by RJ.
