ashes of an angel

It is said that there is nothing like a mother’s love for her child, it is said to be stronger than any force imaginable. If this is the case why did a New Jersey woman set her child on fire and leave her on the side of a street and call it “poop”.
A man found the woman near a ball of fire and tried to understand what it was that she was burning. When he seemed interested she said it is just poop, she said her dog had pooped in her car and she wanted to burn it. However, Joseph, the man who was at the scene tried to restrain her until the police came. By the time they came it was too late. “It was just horrible” (1), “We saw the fire and we thought someone was over there burning trash,” (1) said Joseph. The child died that night because her mother burned her on a public roadway. Dorvilier, the woman who decided to burn her new born is being held on $500,000 bail.
To say it is important to read this is not necessarily the right thing to say. It would make more sense to say reading this will give people an idea of how good they may have it, or how loving, nurturing and wonderful their mothers are. But it also raises awareness that even if someone is the biological parent of a child, does not mean that they are the best parent for that child.
