Abstract
Few crimes evoke emotions stronger than those caused by the killing of a child.
That an adult would deliberately cause the death of a child strikes many as
inexplicable, especially in the case of filicide - killing one's own child. Yet
homicide by family members is a common cause of death among children,
especially if death due to neglect is included.
