Response #3 C.J. McCarthy: The Drowning Incident

This is a very disturbing and depressing story. I think it shows that postpartum depression may not only be a feeling mothers have, but fathers as well. While the father did not directly harm his own baby, it seems as though he displaced his feelings for his baby on the puppies.
It's very difficult to understand how someone can commit such a disgraceful act of crime, but what's even more difficult to understand is how the son reacts to the entire situation. While he does show disgust and remorse, he handles the situation very calmly, but in a very strange way. His actions show that he may have a passive aggressive personality, or perhaps he was in so much shock that he may not have known how to handle the situation.
What's frightening is that events such as this do occur in our society. It is difficult to understand how the mind of a murderer works but is important that we do what we can to prevent such actions before it is too late.
