Police detectives in Neenah plan to meet with a special prosecutor today about possible charges in the case of a woman who told police she suffocated her 2-year-old son.

The 27-year-old woman also told police she heard voices tell her to kill the boy.

The woman has been employed by Winnebago County, but officials haven't said what her job duties were.

Because of her connection to Winnebago County, the Milwaukee County chief deputy district attorney office is serving as special prosecutor.

The woman remains in a secure facility. She has been in custody since Monday. Her mother called police that morning to report the killing.

Sad, I agree. I too have been wanting children for so long and then you hear a story like this and it makes me want to cry. How could someone do that to their own child, let alone a defenseless 2 year old.

Too bad the "voices" never say to "love" your child. She knew what she was doing. This society needs to start caring more for the "VICTIM'.

People like this make me so sick!! There are people like me who have been trying to have kids for years now and people like this who say "The Voices Told Me To" COME ON!! Maybe they should follow the voice and just end there own life before a small child who can't even fight back or say a word!! We as humans put to much time into trying to find out what is wrong with people like this and should just do the same to them what that they have done to others!! My heart goes out to the rest of the family in this time of loss.
