 Woman Pleads Insanity in Baby Assault Case

Many are calling for stricter measures to protect children from abuse and neglect. The court's decision will be closely watched, as it will set a precedent for similar cases in the future.The baby's family has expressed relief that the case is moving forward, but they are still seeking justice for the harm caused to their child. The woman's plea of insanity will be closely scrutinized as the case continues.
