'A woman who drowned her two-year-old daughter in a Sydney river had thought she was a bad mother and wanted to die with the child, a judge has been told.

After the drowning, the woman asked officers: "Do I get to go to jail soon? I deserve to be locked up forever."

The woman, who suffers from a mental illness, pleaded guilty in the NSW Supreme Court on Wednesday to the manslaughter of her two-year-old daughter in March 2010.
...
"Help me, help me, I've killed my daughter," she said to a man walking past with a mobile phone. He ignored her and kept going.'
