For infanticide among animals, see Infanticide (zoology). Infanticide (or infant homicide) is the intentional killing of infants. Parental infanticide researchers have found that mothers are far more likely than fathers to be the perpetrator for neonaticide and slightly more likely to commit infanticide in general. In many past societies, certain forms of infanticide were considered permissible.
However, there does seem to have been infanticide in China, and baby girls were more vulnerable than baby boys.
