Indeed - who can say what heartbreaking circumstances led to this moment? Whatever the case, the mother is clearly in urgent need of help.
This may be a vulnerable young woman suffering in silence, or perhaps a stillbirth - we do not yet know.
But even if it is not, the desperation that drives a mother to such an extreme act is undeniably tragic. Yes, it may be illegal, and many will judge harshly, with no attempt at understanding.
Yet for a mother to act in such stark opposition to every natural instinct suggests that something has gone profoundly wrong. Something that demands compassion before condemnation perhaps.
