Absolutely correct- and it's not just in hindsight that we can see this. It should have been absolutely clear to anyone with normal intelligence that he was placing these children in danger (I won't go into the mother's history- but multiple suicide attempts are one indicator of future violence). I'm sure that he was aware of many things about her behavior and apparently bizarre belief system that even her doctors were not familiar with, let alone the public.

If he had left a DOG alone with this woman under these circumstances, Animal Control would be after him for abuse.

By the way, I REALLY didn't like his inappropriate smiling and joking after the sentencing- I think this guy has more than one loose screw...

According to what I read, Rusty left for work at 9:00 a.m. and his mother came over at 10:00 a.m. every morning.

I'm not sure he should be crucified here. I think he did everything he could, he couldn't very well not have worked. He had his mother there, Andrea was left for one hour a day.

To support you, Rusty said when he got home after the killiings "she finally did it",,now what does that mean other than he knew she contemplated it. One of the docs wrote and testified that when she saw andrea in the er prior to putting her under the dreadful Sayeed's lack of care, that Rusty didn't tell her the history,,he left out prior hospitilazations, etc,,she wasn't told of the extent of Andreas illness,,Rusty just must have thought the doc didn't need to know. Rusty also was begged by Andrea's nurse friend days before the killings to do something about her and he said after the weekend. She told Rusty she didn't think Andrea would make it thru the weekend and Rusty blew her off. And finally, he left a mute, stinking, crazy, not eating mother alone with a five month old baby that day and went to work,,he deserves a charge of reckless endangerment on that alone. He says noone told him how dangerous she was,,I think it will out that Andrea told him and he just ignored it. Andrea was telling him all along that having those kids and caring for them with no help, pent up in that house, was making her crazy. He just didn't hear. Odd, if I have a headache, my husband hears and helps. If he has a cold, I bring him soup and tell him he works to hard. If I cough, he runs out to the drugstore to get coughdrops. If I were in her condition, he would raise hell to get me help. Rusty, I don't have the words for a husband who is stone cold.
