YOU would always speculate on the father in this type of case. Gee, did you know more kids are killed by their mothers than by their fathers fathers - and more kids are killed by their mother's boyfriends then by the fathers. But you don't get national coverage on those cases - but the MSM spreads the "bad-dad" propaganda everytime they have a chance, so Kool-Aid drinkers thing every divorced dad in the country is a terrible person.
I meant by their fathers.
Just WHERE does this anti-male attitude come from? Let's see:
"Every man is a rapist". Sounds familiar? "50% percent of women are beaten by their boyfriends" Blah, blah, blah.
Hmmmm.... I guess that is a place where you get your information. If a woman kills her husband it MUST have been self defense - because women aren't violent. And, of course, it was Russell Yates' fault that his wife killed their children.
THAT is what you base your "speculation" on.
The false feminist propaganda that fathers, especially divorced fathers, are bad, bad bad.
Actually, the stats I've read say it's equal, 50 - 50, mothers & fathers killing their children. It's simply that since womens' crimes are so few, a larger percentage of women's crimes are for killing their children.
But you're certainly right about the largest risk of kids being killed by "step-fathers" or the mothers' "boyfriends." And for that, I blame the mothers as much as the rotten men they take up with.
