It seems she should be charged with murder too. Why would a woman let some boyfriend torture and kill her kids? What does she get out of such a relationship?

The child seemed to be the family scapegoat....beyond my armchair psychology degree. I know of two other cases like this where the other children did not receive the same treatment.The mother is an accessory to murder.They may have needed her testimony thus the injury to a child charge.
