So parental neglect is out as you say, the son was much too old. But attempted murder isn't, if someone pushed a person in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs you wouldn't say "Well if the state has a problem with they should be looking after them.".

Point taken, but the reason this sort of thing happens is that people are forced into defacto slavery caring for disabled children. If the state won't accept them, post-birth abortion should be legal.

You can put disabled children up for adoption, or when they are older you can get them a carer. You are right that parents shouldn't have to look after their disabled children alone unless they feel that can handle it but this woman had no excuse, she just didn't value her own son's life.
