There's no sorrow, empathy or sympathy on my part for that mother. I agree with an earlier poster, grab that child and run. Or stand up like a mamma bear would and take care of business - nothing is more important than your child's safety.
I agree. She could have run (With kids), she could have fought (ie poison, etc) or she could have picked up that phone and called the Police. She deserves more than whatever she's got coming. It's still a tragedy that a mother could be that ****ed up!
