The changes that take place in a woman's life when they have children is extreme. The physiological changes alone are enough to send some women into distress. Post-partum depression is an under-diagnosed problem. Support groups for young mothers are difficult to find in many communities. Mental health care is not mandatory nor commonplace for parents.
I could go on.
Yes, these are horrible occurances.
The more frequently they are reported, the more outrage will ensue yet more women will think of it as a viable option. Similar to a teen's purposefully botched attempted suicide, they assume that by going to extremes someone will notice their distress and they will finally receive the care they were not given.
