In this article Ed Payne of CNN talks about a woman desperate to have a fourth child, forcing her adoptive daughter to impregnate herself with semen they bought online. This woman was sentenced to five years in prison for child cruelty. The woman came up with this plan when her oldest daughter was only thirteen years old. There were six attempts made in the past two years. She became pregnant at the age of fourteen but miscarried, and again at sixteen. The daughter said she didn't want to have a baby, but gave in because she loves her mother. The mother and daughter had a whole scheme planned out, but it started to unravel when midwives started questioning the mother after overhearing a suspicious conversation.
This is absolutely terrible. I cannot imagine something like this happening. I don't understand how a mother could put her daughter through something like this. The mother abused her relationship with her daughter because she was desperate, and I think that is absolutely horrific. I hope everything works out ok with the baby, and daughter.

It's upsetting that a mother would do this.
ReplyDeleteThis is why they say truth is stranger than fiction.
ReplyDeleteThis is cruel and sick. I can't believe a woman was that desperate to have another baby.
ReplyDeleteI can't understand why a mother would do this to her own daughter. Hopefully she gets some psychological help.
