@deadvoid.est: In May 2014, people at a playground in Maryland began noticing something they couldn’t explain. A mother had reportedly been pushing her three-year-old son on a swing for nearly 42 hours without leaving. When police were finally called to check on the situation, they discovered the child had already died. Investigators later alleged that his mother, Cheavon Schaeffer, had remained at the playground with her son for nearly two days before authorities arrived. The case shocked the country and sparked conversations about child abuse, mental health, and whether warning signs had been overlooked. Years later, it remains one of the most heartbreaking and disturbing playground tragedies in recent memory. Sometimes the most unsettling stories happen in places that were built for children. #truecrime #unsolvedmysteries #darkstories #tragic #disturbing

This doesn’t say the full accurate story, so she had mental health issues and when she realized that she would go into psychosis & that it was getting worse, she decided to start the process of giving up custody to her son’s father. They both agreed it was for the best, then one day she took her son to the park to play with him, and then went into psychosis at the park, her intent was not to hurt him. Sadly, he did die.

Even if you road by twice a day & saw it you couldn’t assume it’s been a consistent 42 hours honestly.

i often think about the absolute terror that baby must’ve felt on that first night. all the kids had gone home, it’s pitch black in the middle of the night. and his mom just stood there silently pushing him without stopping. a literal horror movie scene.

this poor woman just needed help :( i’m not excusing it but she was mentally ill. she has schizophrenia and she went into an episode while pushing her kid on the swing and “they” told her if she stopped pushing him they would kill her son, in her mind she was just trying to protect him from the monsters and this whole thing is just so sad.

This is a very tragic case. And she reached out for help several times to medical professionals. Told them she was hallucinating, needed help etc. nothing was done.

this makes me so sad because i can’t even imagine the guilt she feels and the hate she receives. when you’re in psychosis you literally don’t know what you’re doing at all because it isn’t even you anymore. that poor mother.

See somethin, say something. Just call the cops and ask them to check on it. It’s their job and it’s your responsibility

Its time for psych evaluations to be had for mother's pre and post pregnancy! Same applies to the father.
