But nobody is laughing over the story of Julianne McCrery, who stands accused of asphyxiating her 6-year-old son, Camden.
She allegedly went to Maine, where she dumped the body on a country road. Her lawyer made a stunning statement to reporters.
"I believe she was up here to bring both her son and herself to heaven," he said.
There is speculation that the boy's murder might have been influenced by fear among some people about the coming of the apocalypse.
"Someone who is struggling with psychological problems can think, 'I'm not ready, how do I get ready?' and make a terrible, terrible mistake," Pastor Dave Watson of Cavalry Chapel in New York explains.
