There used to be a great site full of death portraits. www.thanatopsis.com I can’t get it to work any more. The pictures of the mothers holding their dead babies were heartbreaking, such sorrow and anger, held in check by submission to God’s will, I guess.

Wrybread really is "Morbid"

Thanks, Michelle!

My friend and I were researching the Victorian era and came across a website of infant bereavement photography, we were really captivated by the photos. We both enjoy going to the nearby historical cemetery and researching the families and their cause of death. We both have been told we are morbid.

Great! I was worried about you. It’s so easy for stuff on the internet to appear insulting when it’s not meant to be. I can’t do a smiling emoticon, or I would.

You can only be insulted if you take offense.

For WRYBREAD:

:)

I feel loved.

I hope Michelle sees this. She was complaining about the same thing last night and I think she thought is was part of the “Never Welcoming Anyone” policy that DD runs.

Hey Idontgetit---Welcome! I am quite new myself...at least to posting comments on all this stuff! We all have the morbid curiosity in us- Some people are just of the opinion that it isn't "right" or polite" to want to see or read or educate yourself about all the horrid things that people do. I feel that they want to pretend that kind of thing doesn't really happen.
Be-warned--All this baby-stuff really pulls on your heart and your conscience.
Each of us have our own background, and reasons for our curiosity- some private- some not.
I have actually begun praying a lot more for all the babies & kids who have succumed to all the adults who didn't know any better- or care.

As for momma above her daughter is probably thankful she doesn’t have to look at that hot mess any longer!

LOL - that may be a fact...................

Am I totally sick or are we all just curious and dumbfounded that parents can actually kill their kids?

I think the same thing, am I a freak or what, (of course I am just ask hubby ;) ) I believe I am fascinated / shocked by what people are capable of, and saddened by the treatment of beautiful, innocent children.

LOL! What a freak... but eligible for the DD "Parent of the Year Award" for not doing what most of the parents featured here do. Wish we had video of her scrabbling out of the CCU.

Those ARE great books, though.

*nods* Carved in Bone is top notch! Haven't read any of the others yet.

that right there is a triple bagger-ouch-pass the bleach for my poor eyes.

love tracy chap. hope she never coughs up that juju-be she has stuck in her throat

Interesting in a creepy sort of way. You can bet I won’t be donating MY body to science when I die!!

Oh I would but, only if they can guarantee me a spot in a body farm!
I'm going to rot anyway, why not let someone learn something from it.

Ya know, Bed Head has some products to combat that hair.

Ash thanks for the links….very interesting stuff. I have heard about this “farm” before.

What is funny is that you know she probably warned the "baby daddy" a million times that if he didn't do his share, she was just gonna go drop the kid off at his job. I've heard women threaten this all the time, I've never actually known of anyone who actually did it.

But yeah, she should have known that the police would eventually show up. She should took some of her free time without the baby to go get her hair did...

my comments keep disappearing!

go to the book link for jefferson bass and click on the video & photos link at the top. That's where the best photos and clips are.

my comments keep disappearing!

Hmmm...it didn't show up. There are 3 videos and some photos here:

Those ARE great books, though.

I need a good link to the Bill Bass Body Farm thing. All I keep getting are links to books about it. Thanks!

It's clear that having a baby was cutting into her hair care time. I hope now that she's a baby-free babymamma, she can get some magazines and work on her look. She's got that sad, why be MEAN to me look. But as others have said, at least she let the baby live and didnt' even torture it for fun.

I like DD a lot. I used to be a medical book editor and saw plenty of horrible photos. I guess I developed a taste for them ... and the people here are so funny!

God, I sound so morbid.

Only if you're eighteen, blog from your mom's basement and keep anatomically correct furniture. Otherwise, you just sound like the rest of us. :)

Hello. I’m new to this website. I stumbled upon it while obsessing on the Deptford, NJ boy, whose mother slit his throat and killed him. I started obsessing about it, because I’m from NJ, and my sister lives in Deptford. Anyway, I just wanted to know if I’m a sicko for wanting to read all of these horrible stories about children getting killed. Am I totally sick or are we all just curious and dumbfounded that parents can actually kill their kids? Oh yeah, I also live in the same area as Andrea Yates (did) and that freaked me out to no end. I still can’t get that one out of my mind.

No, you aren't sick - you care, and more people need compassion in this world.

Welcome aboard, Dontgetit. Fasten your seatbelt and hang on tight!

Thanks Ashdavus. I have OCD and I obsess a lot. My mom wasn't too stable while the 5 of us kids were growing up. Mental health is a scary thing. BTW - I think that Britney Spears is going to "off herself" any day now. I watch the most morbid shows on tv, and my husband keeps looking at me like I'm a freak and tells me to stop watching the stuff. I can't help it. I love the behavioral, forensic and investigative parts of all of it. Ex.: FBI Files, New Detectives, Dr. G, Medical Examiner, Most Evil, etc. I also love the paranormal and ghost shows. To be honest, I also try to look up celebrity autopsy photos but there aren't that many current ones. God, I sound so morbid. Anyway, I'll keep logging on to see what sicko pops up next.

And she was riding in the BMW with those 5 teenagers!!

I love that song! I love Tracy, for that matter. Christine, though, is gonna have to have a rockin' alto for me to be cool with her 'do.

Am I totally sick or are we all just curious and dumbfounded that parents can actually kill their kids?

I don't know but I got it too, I just put down an old AR paperback, (yes a real book) and stumbled into the TC blog-o-rama a couple weeks ago but I haven't gotten much done since. I'm so new I still kiss alot of ass around here;

DD is my favorite and only portal to all things True Crime, Morbid is my master (although I'd swap gladly for some one-on-one training from Impqueen) If anyone needs me I'll be in the back with the distinguished lyricist from MO, rhyming images and blowing bubbles.

It’s Tracy Chapman!!!

Singing "Give me one reason to stay here, and I'll turn right back around." Only she totally meant it.

Anyway, I just wanted to know if I’m a sicko for wanting to read all of these horrible stories about children getting killed. Am I totally sick or are we all just curious and dumbfounded that parents can actually kill their kids?

Actually, you are NOT a freak. There are hordes of people JUST LIKE US. My obsession began wiith a book I read years ago on forensic pathology. I found it fascinating what these people could tell about a death just by looking at the person's remains. If you REALLY want to see something freaky...look up Dr. Bass's Body Farm. REAL pictures of REAL corpses left to decay for student research.

Kudos. Well played!

Thanks. I try...sometimes it works.

I worked in a Cardiac Care Unit for a couple of years, and I saw some interesting things.....nothing this interesting. I can only imagine how much shit that male nurse took from his co-workers. Hahahaha. Busy shift for him.

At least she dropped the baby off with her daddy - instead of beating, burning, molesting, or in general, killing her to death.

I don't know why this woman would leave her child - but I'm glad she did. The child is alive and well. Thank the Lord. I can't even say a mean thing - she did what all of us have been crying out for these parents to do - just give the baby to someone else. I am grateful and thankful that she did that much.

And she was riding in the BMW with those 5 teenagers!!

*spews coffee*

Kudos. Well played!

It’s Tracy Chapman!!!

A bone placed in her ‘do would look lovely, don’t you guys think? A small decorative hair bone, right up front. Ummm Morbid, could you decorate her hair? You’re so good at that shit.

HA! Turn her into 'Bride of Freak-en-stein!!

She looks like Don Kings Daughter, You go Girl!

Really? I was sure that it was Buckwheat's sister.

She looks like Don Kings Daughter, You go Girl!
