What the hell is going on?

What is wrong with parents these days? In the 5 days I've spent reading the news at work this week, there's been 5 different stories about people murdering their offspring. The latest story was about a man who beat his 4 month old daughter to death because he wanted a son. Apparently, the beatings had been happening since her birth. Another one, that I can recall off the top of my head, involved a man who grabbed his 4 kids and tossed them all over an 80 foot high bridge to their deaths.

How does someone do that?

Beats the shit out of me.
