Some people DO NOT deserve to be parents

This article caught my eye because I grew up in Salem. I'm sorry to share it with you, because I wish I hadn't read it this morning. I can't get it out of my head.

Cops: Mom cracked baby's skull
Associated Press

SALEM, Ind. -- A woman told police she squeezed her 2-month-old son's head until she heard his skull crack because he wouldn't stop crying, prosecutors said.
Lacey Edwards, 21, faces felony charges of battery and neglect of a dependent for the injuries her son suffered on Feb. 24. She was being held on $50,000 cash bond Thursday night in the Washington County Jail in Salem, about 30 miles north of Louisville, Ky.
According to an affidavit filed in Washington Circuit Court, Edwards told state police Detective Dave Mitchell that her children were crying while she was doing housework at her Campbellsville home. Edwards has three children -- 2-month-old twins and an 11-month-old.
Edwards allegedly became frustrated when one of the twins, Michael Buskirk, kept crying after the others stopped. According to the affidavit, she squeezed the baby's head and felt it cave in, but he continued to cry "so she squeezed his head a second time during which time she felt and heard his skull crack."
Mitchell's affidavit said that Edwards did not take the baby to the hospital or report the injury until a visiting nurse arrived and noticed his condition about six hours later.
The infant was taken to a hospital in Bedford for treatment, Washington County Prosecutor Cynthia Winkler said. Details of his condition were unavailable. The other children were placed in foster care, Winkler said.
Both charges against Edwards carry possible sentences of six years to 20 years in prison.
