French court jails mother for 25 years over newborn deaths
"Aurelie S. claimed the first infant died after she fell down the stairs while carrying the baby, but forensic examination showed the skull injury did not correspond to a fall."
"In the second case, Aurelie stated she gave birth at home after a denied pregnancy and panicked, placing the infant in a laundry basket and then in the freezer."
Aurelie S., a 44-year-old single mother, was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the deaths of her two newborns, discovered in her family freezer. The court found her guilty of withholding care, leading to the infants' deaths in 2018 and 2019. Despite her claims of accidental deaths, forensic evidence contradicted her statements. The case reflects a troubling pattern of similar incidents in France, highlighting issues of maternal neglect and violence towards children.
