The mother didn't even know if the man was guilty. Maybe he was, but it would have nice if there was actually a chance to investigate the charges and collect evidence.
Would you applaud a parent that shot your spouse or children just because they believed that they were responsible for hurting their child? Wouldn't you want your family member to have a chance to answer the charges?
You're asking the wrong woman that question hun.
Before I die,
I would love to see one crumb of justice delivered...
One person willing to fight for me....or get angry in my behalf...
I was raised by cowards, mad-men and perverts...
So yes,
any woman willing to kill for her child strikes a chord in my soul.
Again, ask someone else.
And we don't know the back-story, either.
The mother may have acted on the final piece of a puzzle to which only she knows the whole answer.
*If* my mom wanted to face it, she could sit and assemble various seemingly unrelated incidents and evidences of physical damage that would reveal the truth to her.
But, she's chosen not to.
