This is a first:

As reported in the Houston Chronicle, a man in Texas may be the first husband held criminally responsible in a case where a mother with postpartum psychosis killed her child.

"A Texas man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for leaving his baby alone with his psychotic wife, who [killed her 1-year-old — I'm censoring the details] …

[Michael] Maxon, 56, was convicted earlier this year of intentionally abandoning his 1-year-old son when he left the couple's Mansfield home in 2006 to run errands. According to trial testimony, doctors and relatives had warned him not to leave his son Alex alone with his wife, who had been having delusions that her son was the anti-Christ who would be tortured before causing the Apocalypse.

In 2008, a judge found Valeria Maxon innocent by reason of insanity in the baby's death. She was sent to a state mental hospital, as required by Texas law with such verdicts."

I wonder why Valeria wasn't in a hospital or somewhere where she could have been better protected, and not in a place where she could harm her child.
