I think that she might care about her child, but in a selfish way. It's true that "Just because you're willing to hurt someone else's child or children, doesn't automatically mean you're willing to harm your own child". However, people who are like this, generally aren't great parents. They love their children because their children love them or they see themselves in their children. They put their own emotions and needs before their children's. Even if they don't hurt their children physically, they end up hurting them psychologically.

With Zelena, she was very clear that she wanted a baby so that she would have someone who loved her, not because she wanted to give her baby a great life or so that she could love the baby. It's kind of a maxim that one doesn't have a baby expecting the baby to fulfill the parents needs. It never works out in the baby (and often the parents) best interest.

I think she might have tried to treat the baby well, but she's a rapist, a kidnapper, and a murderer and she wouldn't have been able to keep her own lack of morals separate from her parenting skills.
