A sad tale indeed.
The news link doesn't really give enough detail to form an opinion as to the intent of the mother so I shall refrain from making any judicial comments on that (unless I missed something, I have to say I'm a bit surprised by the 'angry mob' posts here).

A little known fact is that around the turn of the (20th) century it was perfectly normal in England to feed opiates to babies to keep them quiet (it was called "Mothers Peace"). Nothing much changes it would seem .
