Just curious why you think the man is more culpable than the woman.
I think the opposite.
It is probable the male in question (I object to the honorable term “man” being applied to him) has mental/emotional problems to some extent diminishing his responsibility.
The female in question was more likely only concerned about hanging onto her boyfriend no matter what doing so entailed. Also, she was the boy’s maternal unit (refuse to use the word mother) and should be expected to have some additional degree of protectiveness.
I think capital punishment is appropriate for both.
The “wife” of the male is also culpable. Living in a home for weeks while a child is tortured and doing nothing to stop it is horrifying behavior in itself.
in my experience the moronic childish man or woman who is not the natural parent resents the same sex child.
I agree with you. There is a nurturing instinct in women that is usually much greater than that of a man. To allow a man to harm my child is unthinkable. I would kill him before I would permit him to beat and torture my offspring or any child. She is more culpable and while I don’t think for a minute they will get the death penalty, both and especially she, should be sterilized. I would like to see 25 Singaporean lashings in public followed by 5 days without treatment and then a bullet to the head for each of them.
‘Just curious why you think the man is more culpable than the woman.’
I don’t think the man is more culpable then women. As a male, I am just MUCH more familiar with life in a prison and the dastardly deeds that occur.
