Filicide is the act of a parent or caregiver intentionally killing their own child. This tragic event can occur for various reasons, including mental illness, extreme stress, or a perceived inability to care for the child. Filicide is a complex issue that often raises questions about the psychological state of the perpetrator and the circumstances leading to such a devastating act. The consequences of filicide are profound, affecting not only the immediate family but also the community and society at large. Support systems, such as mental health services and social services, play a crucial role in preventing these incidents by addressing the underlying issues that may lead to such actions. Understanding filicide can help in developing strategies to protect vulnerable children and support struggling parents.
