...What the fuck?
I have autism. I'm childfree. I hate kids. But even I think that's a bit outside the realm of sanity. Even though I hate kids I don't flip out and go "babies are bastards". As much as I can't stand babies and small children, it's not usually their fault when they do the shit that makes me hate kids. And I don't even hate all kids, just the annoying brats that can trigger me to melt down in public. Such actions are usually the result of the child's behavior going unmoderated by clueless, rude or selfish parents. Hardly anything will trigger me to melt down anymore, but one of the things that does is a screaming toddler. It hits right in the threshold of pain. Add hyperacusis and you have one psycho Aspergian lady on your hands.
As for the case at hand...
They need to put her away. I'm actually willing to make the rare exception here to my usual sentiment that people who kill infants in cold blood should be executed. This woman is clearly out of her mind, and I don't think certifiably mentally ill people should be executed.
