11-year-old found dead among Disneyland souvenirs, California cops say. Mom charged
Briefly

A mother, Saritha Ramaraju, has been charged with murdering her 11-year-old son during a custody visitation in California. The child was found dead in a hotel room on a day he was supposed to return to his father. Prior to the incident, the mother took her son to Disneyland, purchasing multiple tickets, indicating intentions of spending quality time together. The circumstances surrounding the child's death have raised serious concerns about parental conflicts and their impact on child welfare, as emphasized by local authorities.
"The life of a child should not hang in the balance between two parents whose anger for each other outweighs their love for their child," said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer.
"Anger makes you forget who you love and what you are responsible for doing. The safest place for a child should be in their parents' arms."
"Instead of wrapping her arms around their son in love, she slit his throat and in the cruelest twist of fate removed him from the very world she brought him into."
