Some mothers commit the unthinkable act of maternal fillicide because they are mentally ill or sick. According to the news story, "why do moms kill their children"- the Washington Post many people commit this unthinkable act because they are mentally sick with disease. Lashuan Haris, who is a 23 year old homeless mother had a history of schizophrenia and other mental illness. According to multiple family members, Lashuan told them a week before the maternal fillicide that she was going to feed her children to sharks. A week later she walked to pier 7 in Oakland and tossed her children in the bay. She told the police that if she threw her children into the water then they could reunite with the gods of heaven. This shows that it was out of her control and most of the mothers who commit maternal fillicide have mental illness.
