Absolutely.
But this little boy's case deserves a full accounting for his sake and for his father's sake.
The child is with his or her father now...they know all the facts.
We may find out the mom is a crack addict, drunk or just the recipient of bad, bad luck, but right now, not much is known.
and for the mother's sake. Of course she's guilty until proven innocent and let's do it for the sake of the kids!
