I just heard a news headline on WCBS radio in NYC  that the mother was
found GUILTY in the starvation death of her baby.  I find myself very
saddened by this.  Although it was possible that she was guilty it was
also totally conceivable to me that the fault was elsewhere, if fault or
blame can truly be assigned.  What concerns me more is my fear that so
many women will be disuaded from breastfeeding, or even prohibited from
breastfeeding because of this.
