Simon, unfortunately there are many physical and emotional issues women suffer during and after pregnancies that make events like this into perspective, most noaatbly pre and post natal depression. A friend of mine, a normal healthy woman, could not bear to see her baby until 3 weeks after birth, due to post natal depression, for which she received treatment and counselling. The person in this story should be assessed to determine if any of these issues are in play and treatment offered before the big stick of the law is whacked around.
