Mother lets baby boy drown; admits she hated him

From the day her son was born, Neha Patel said, she hated him.

On Thursday, that hatred reached a fatal level, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office. Investigators said Patel slapped Ishan, her 1-year-old son, then purposefully left him alone to drown in a bathtub half full of water at their Lakeland home.

When she returned 10 minutes later and found him unconscious, she refused to perform CPR, even though she knew the procedure, the sheriff's office said.

(...)

Investigators are looking into whether Patel was suffering from post-partum depression. She told deputies she "hated" her baby since the day he was born and blamed him for her "state of mind."
