: NEONATICIDE
Neonaticide, or
murder of an infant within the first twenty-four hours of life, is the most
common form of filicide, which is the killing of a child of any age by a parent.
Research shows that 46 percent of infants killed die in their first hour of
life. Compared to filicide, neonaticidal parents are younger, more often
unmarried, and the pregnancy was more frequently unwanted.
