[Area51]

I tell you what, if there is one thing that will ever cause me to loose total control and eliminate the life force out of a person it is the abuse of a child by a parent.

Been there done that. I can tell you from personal experience that kid was helpless, and he knew it.

And I agree, Mom stood by, while it happened. She had a responsibility as a parent to Protect that kid. Dialing 911 and leaving the receiver off the hook was all it would have taken. Arrest her for letting it happen. Feeling sorry after the fact, doesn't bring the kid back.

I cut her no slack.

Dialing 911 and leaving the receiver off the hook was all it would have taken.

Sometimes that doesn't work. But not even trying is abysmal. How anyone could leave a child to be killed is beyond me.
