FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Police say a California mother plunged a knife into her 3-year-old son up to 20 times, then pushed him down apartment complex stairs.

Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said Tuesday that the woman then yelled hysterically at paramedics to leave the toddler alone. The boy was taken to a hospital, where his condition is critical.

The police chief says the woman was arrested and will likely be booked for investigation of attempted murder. Police didn't release her name, but the woman's sister identified her as 30-year-old Vanessa Rincon, and she said the wounded boy, Noah Rincon, turned 3 on April 13.

Dyer says the woman told officers she stabbed her son, but she didn't explain why.

Where were neighbors when this was happening and why didn't they shoot her twice in the chest with a .45???

What the hell is wrong with people? I hate hearing of
things like this.

10 to 1, if this woman has or knows someone with money this will be tried as postpartum depression or manic depression,,,

if she has neither the money or connections though,,she will probably be worrying about her fate from a jail cell...

I don't "necessarily" agree with this...but I do with the general
idea. Show no mercy in cases like this.
