Most cases of child abuse (not necessarily the exceptional kind that makes the papers, such perpetraitors are mentally unbalanced in other ways) are carried out by a non genetic relative - such as adoptive or step parents. This has been confirmed by countless studies, mainly from the discipline of psychology, and is widely used in determining which children are at risk.

I agree that natural selection will kick in eventually and sort out the overpopulation mess, but humans are also unique in the way they have artificially altered their environment and behaviour patterns which is in many ways putting a damper on natural selection - people who would have otherwise been wiped out are going on not only to live but to reproduce.
And while it is an ethically thorny issue to say that certain people may or may not have children on the grounds of them not being the 'fittest' and therefore due to be done away with under the natural selection laws it does not mean that humankind should be absolved of responsiblility regarding overpopulation. Nature is trying its best - TB is on the increase and along HIV/AIDS, SARS, MSRA and bird flu is a contender for the next big plague, and global warming should get rid of a fair few people, and colder winters are doing there best to rid the world (britain at least) of elderly and/or poor people.
The main problem, as i see it, is that these events are not being taken as signs or warnings that something needs to be changed, instead it is simply a call to arms to exert human superiority over nature so that everyone can live forever, no matter how old, infirm, frail, diseased or just downright useless they are.
Damn people.
