Abstract
This study reviews data from the trials on filicide and abandonment after isolated delivery intentions and on actions contrary to the intention to commit a crime in order to understand the situation of mothers. The study aimed to consider the support required of healthcare professionals from intentions and actions that contradict with the intent to commit a crime. The legal database was searched from April 1 to June 30, 2022, using the keywords “birth,” “abandonment,” “guilt,” and “judgment date 2012–2021.” Among the trials investigated, four cases were included in a study in which the findings of fact specifically indicated intentions and actions that contradicted the intent of filicide and abandonment after isolated birth. These precedents were examined by compiling information about the newborn’s father, the time of conception and delivery, and the newborn. In some cases, mother’s willingness to take care of their children and hesitation to kill them for a moment by seeing their children were indicated.
The following issues were suggested.
1) If healthcare professionals are aware of the pregnancy, they should be continuously
involved.
2) Healthcare professionals should recognize and support mothers’ feelings in the process of
imagining their lives with their children.
3) Further information on the feelings of mothers at the time of the crime should be
accumulated.
4) Regarding the poverty issue that exists in the background, social security should be
considered.
