The Frailty of Human Design The indictment of Ochra Manakaja, an Arizona mother accused of killing her 16 month old son Zion and hiding his body in a freezer for two weeks, is a disturbing reminder that even ordinary lives can conceal dark secrets.
The alleged brutality of the crime is striking, but equally unsettling is the lack of concern displayed by Manakaja towards her child's well being.
Manakaja's behavior was not an isolated incident, but rather a culmination of neglect and abuse.
