There is no indication that she had her son killed. Also her being a Child Hater is not demonstrable either.


* Her treatment of Meg aside, Ruth was creepy even ''before'' Meg came along. Prior to this, the film makes it clear that Ruth had taken it upon herself to provide the neighborhood boys with a sexual education. While it doesn't seem to have involved outright molesting them, it would definitely qualify as grooming, and it's shown in shockingly explicit detail.

* Several of Meg's scenes of getting tortured are this, but the most disturbing moment is definitely the scene where Ruth decides to remove her "womanhood" by heating a pin before inserting it into her clitoris. The bloodcurdling scream Meg makes [[ScreamDiscretionShot sets the scene well]].
