Article here. Excerpt:

'A mother who tossed her toddler into the Hudson River after suddenly spiraling into psychosis can return to her native India and her children, a judge said Friday after she reached a rare form of agreement with prosecutors to resolve her attempted-murder case.

Devi Silvia will continue treatment and medication in India, with New York authorities monitoring her progress during five years of probation.

Her lawyers called it a just result for a woman whose conduct was driven by a mental illness that emerged only in the days before she threw her daughter into the chilly river off Manhattan's Upper West Side, then leaped in herself, in May 2010.'

Women get "mental illness" and, therefore, receive treatment, medication, assistance and a slap on the wrist. Men don't receive treatment or assistance, because they are just "evil."

Right... We got the memo.
