Baby's mother suffering from depression
A nine-day-old baby died after being thrown from a fifth-floor window of an apartment block in Slovakia, police said Friday.

Local media reported comments by neighbours and the child’s father that the baby’s mother, 28, who had been suffering from depression after the birth, flung the child from the window while she was home alone with it.
According to the reports, the woman had felt overwhelmed as a new mother.
