"Amazing that Yates gets any sympathy here...and they hold her husband equally responsible...lol"
I don't anyone here thinks her husband is "equally responsible," but he was certainly complicit, if not criminally negligent in the deaths by leaving his children in the care of someone who was so clearly a danger to herself and others.
It's like giving a toddler a loaded gun.
and if the husband is a brutal wife beater who becomes a mass murderer...is the wife criminally negligent because she never told the cops he was mean?
folks always look for a way to blame the man when a woman snaps......if one is available....like it's not fair to hold her responsoble for her own actions....
however...yes....he should have seen something was wrong...no question but how many folks think a breakdown will result in 5 murders of babies
and yes....if you go upthread you will indeed find someone saying he was just as culpable if not more so...Katie Beaver-logic.
