Mother says she threw son off a bridge

[Hum]

A 6-year-old boy was found dead in the frigid waters of Oregon's Yaquina Bay after his mother told police she threw him off a bridge Monday evening, authorities said.

The body of London McCabe was found in the water about a mile from the Yaquina Bay Bridge about 10:20 p.m., roughly four hours after his mother called 911 to say she'd thrown him from the span, Newport police said.

The mother, Jillian Meredith McCabe, 34, was arrested on charges of aggravated murder, murder and first-degree manslaughter, police said.

McCabe, of nearby Seal Rock, called police around 6:30 p.m. Monday "saying she threw her child over the side," Newport Police Chief Mark Miranda said.

McCabe was being held at the Lincoln County jail Tuesday morning with bail set at $750,000.

That's awful. I don't see how someone could come to throwing a child, let alone their own child, off a bridge.

 

Hopefully she ends up doing a lot of time for that.

She told the police she was hearing voices. At least that's what they were saying on the news last night.

Probably from her child that she was neglecting...

I have kids, I also have 22 assorted neices & nephews.

 

Never once have I considered EVER harming them.

Sad news :(

I have 2 kids who drive me to distraction at times but I would never ever consider harming them.

Terrible news. Although according to the Daily Mail the child was severely autistic and the husband is suffering from MS? It doesn't excuse the behaviour, but I can sympathise with the mother. Desperation can drive people to extreme measures. :(
