WHY WOULD A MOTHER DO THIS?
While being questioned by the police, Marie Noe confessed to suffocating some of her children, but not all of them. In court, she plead to being guilty and agreed to a psychiatric study. Upon the Psychologist's study of her, they determined that Noe was suffering from mixed- personality disorder. MPD is defined as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the individual’s culture. People with MPD can all react in a different way, some more aggressive than other. In Marie Noe's case, her emotion's overcame her and she handled it by smothering her babies.
