Infanticide

Infanticide is the deliberate killing of a young child, typically by a parent or caregiver. It may occur for various reasons, including mental health issues, social pressures, or perceived threats to the child's or family's well-being. While it is a criminal act, understanding its reasons involves considering psychological, social, and cultural factors. Infanticide is a serious crime and a tragic event, reflecting complex circumstances rather than simple intentional harm. Efforts to prevent it include mental health support, social services, and legal measures aimed at protecting vulnerable children.
