Maternal Instinct - Netflix

[Gillybean42]

I think she never expected to be pulled over by a state trooper and planned to get home and be in bed with "her newborn" when Wade would get in.
How she thought she would ever get away with it is unfathomable.
She should have just disappeared around the due date and left a note to say she lied.

Such a cruel and wicked end to both Reagan and her baby's lives.

She was driving with her hazards on and she called an ambulance to say she was having her baby and needed to be taken to the hospital. I’ve no idea how she expected to get away with that. U would think that, as u said, she would be at home with the baby when Wade got back.

The way she’s holding the baby in the car too like a football! If I’d given birth in the car everyone’s Instincts would be to put baby on their chest under their tshirt anything to keep the baby warm but she’s just holding the naked baby like trash. It’s blurred out but you can work it out

That 911 call from her Mom when she found her daughter.Horrific.Imagine murdering another woman and her baby for a man who doesn't even love you.A true psychopath.

I don't think she even did it for Wade, I think she just did it to prove everyone wrong when they said she couldn't have a baby.

She even admitted in the police interview he wasn't excited about the baby, I suspect he hadn't had much in the way of a girlfriend before and had resigned himself to just putting up with her presence rather than dumping her. Even if he had called her out on faking and dumped her I think the outcome sadly would have been the same.

Has anyone watched this new documentary?
It’s about the case of Taylor Parker.

I don’t believe the husband had no idea she was lying

Spoiler

The police told him she’s in jail for killing her friend and cutting out her unborn child and he showed no emotion

I think he’s just a bit emotionally stunted and not the brightest

 

[BearOnChair]

Literally all it would have taken to properly expose her was one of them confronting her in front of Wade and the family. I know my mum would have challenged my sister in law if she thought she was making it up, she'd be checking under her top!

Poor little girl in the house when her mum was killed too. I hope she didn't see or hear too much and has got some helo.

I assumed she only made that call when she realised a state trooper was behind her. One of the first things she said was that there was a trooper behind her.

Has anyone saw the posts that Homers wife (Homer being Regans husband) has been making? She's not speaking very respectfully towards Regan and her memory. Apparently Regans family and Homer no longer talk which is an absolute sin for Regans little girl.

I don't know if this is what was said in court or not but Taylor said at one point that Regan bumped her head and was bleeding from an alteraction they had had and she asked Taylor to take the baby...so many holes in that story...
Also I found it interesting the look on Taylors face when she called Wade to say she had given birth, it's clear (Imo anyway) that Taylor was thinking wtf have I just done for you and this is your response. Man could not have cared less.

Do you think the baby could have been saved with proper cpr? So sad

 

[CrackingOwlSanctuary]

I suppose the problem is you can't just run surveillance on someone for a crime they haven't committed, only take wide ranging prevantative action. I wish someone had intercepted Taylor but I don't think there was anything within the remit of the law that could be done about her behaviour until it rapidly escalated.

I think they actually failed her. This could have been nipped in the bud before this happened. She was clearly mentally ill and needed professional help. Now she’ll pay with her life and 2 other people have died as a result of this.

I wondered why the hospital weren't able to do more like send in a welfare check or something. It would never have occurred to me that someone faking pregnancy would do anything more than fake a still birth whilst on a weekend away in another town, returning with an urn, but the hospital took it seriously enough to close the ward. I'm not blaming them, but the fact they suspected she'd do more than fake an ending surely meant they should have contacted someone/anyone else. Even anonymously.

Yeah u could be right, whatever she planned though, she would never have gotten away with it.

Does anyone know why she didn't have her other children with her ? It mentioned she sometimes has her daughter during the week, but no mention of any other child.
Also if it was such a small town how didn't they know she wasnt from money. Strange

I questioned this money issue too! Makes no sense

 

[Kate1970]

Truly horrific!
But very interesting at the same time

He did question/disbelieve it at some point during, like at 10 months lol. But as someone else said, he likely hung around waiting for money.

But a lot of men married to/in relationships with pregnancy fakers believe them, even when there's no money on the line. It's an easy thing to deceive with & just escape by claiming miscarriage. Check out the Love Trapped podcast.

Do you think she rang them as she realised there was something wrong with the baby.

That poor lady, children and her family. Just awful.

I thought he was just staying with her for the money and didn't actually love her which is really sad too.
Its hard to really know what you'd do, but then I guess when someone is believing the lies you maybe get to a point where you're like fine, I'm done.

I just find it sad that the doctor alerted the hospital as they were concerned she'd steal a baby but no one could force anything legally to make her prove the pregnancy.

 

[Be More Pacific]

It's a shame they didn't show a lot of the trial because I was really interested in her defence.

As a purely armchair psychologist, I would say she demonstrated a lot of the characteristics of something like Borderline Personality Disorder and, as others have said, possibly Munchausens/Munchausen by Proxy.

To be honest though, mental health defences don't generally cut a lot of ice in a country where the justice system appears to be based on religion and revenge. It's far easier just to brand someone "evil" without really trying to understand why.

Homer remarried?. I didn't know that.What has his wife been saying about Regan?.

Yeah. I can't remember it word for word but she said that Regans daughter loved her and that she had had Homers first born baby...seems they're all a bit messy in those parts.
I hope I'm wrong and the screenshots I saw we're just someone jumping on a bandwagon though but I've not seen anyone denying it.
