A mother in Germany has been arrested on the suspicion that she killed three newborn babies and kept them in her freezer.

The babies were - surprise - girls.

The woman in question had three living children - two sons and one daughter.

As I was searching the Internet for articles in English about this case, I came across an article about an unrelated case in France, where a mother similarly kept a newborn dead baby girl in her freezer.

You know why I bring this up - just to insist that those parents and mothers who do this sort of thing will do it primarily to their daughters, not to their sons.
