Annotation: The killing of a newborn child by a mother means the killing of a newborn child on time or immediately after childbirth, as well as the killing of a newborn child by a mother in a traumatic situation or in a state of mental disorder that does not exclude sanity. This type of crime is relatively new to modern criminal law. The composition is privileged, since the sanction of this article establishes a punishment that is significantly lower than the punishment for simple murder. Currently, there are some difficulties in considering the objective side of this crime.
