I wanted to make a joke to lighten the mood but I'm not up to it.
The story is sick. Someone with a recent history of psychiatric hospitalization who has an infant should be subject to mandatory monitoring by social services. Apparently the father also claimed to be schizophrenic which would lead me to believe that social services, after investigation, would determine that the child should be in someone else care before stuff like this has a chance to happen.
Is schizophrenia something that can be passed on genetically? Because it sounds like both the parents have it...and if that's the case I wonder if the baby would've even had a chance to grow up without developing the illness himself?
