This Makes Me Sick

A two year old was fatally beaten with a video game controller by her mother's boyfriend in PA. The article states that the mother said her boyfriend had abused her child in the past. She also said that she heard her child scream after her boyfriend beat her.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? This mother (and she doesn't deserve that title) KNEW her child had been abused by this man in the past and still allowed him access to her. Not only access but it sounded like unsupervised access since she heard her scream after being abused (not saw her scream). You don't leave your child in a room alone with somebody who had abused your child in the past! Also, the article states that the "mother" said her boyfriend had brought her the child limp and wet from trying to revive her in the tub. If the "mother" had heard her child scream after the abuse (before being dunked in the tub to revive her), why didn't the mother go see why her child was screaming?

The boyfriend is being charged with several counts. The mother is only being charged with endangering the welfare of a child. I'm sorry but if your toddler is being abused and you allow it to happen again, that mother deserves to be charged with more than that. She deserves some type of accomplice or manslaughter charge at least. You help kill your child when you let a person who has already abused your child around your child again and that child dies from that person's abuse! This mother is every bit as guilty as the boyfriend in my opinion for not protecting her child and for putting her into a situation that she knew was abusive already.

I don't get people. I really don't. If you can not nurture, love, and protect your children, you have no business having them. There are too many other loving, responsible people out there that want children and can't have them.

We have six children but I wish I could take as many innocent kids as I could to save them from monsters like this and I don't just mean the boyfriend. I mean the "mother" too.
