I agree with you sweetnsour. But she did have an option to get out. Just like with the mother and child that were killed in Semmes a few weeks ago (which there WAS a follow up story, that there was a history of domestic violence). But unlike you, if I recall correctly who was smart enough and strong enough to leave an abusive, unhealthy relationship-some people decide to sacrifice themselves and their kids for “LOVE.” That is not love. They should both be charged.Kids don’t need parents like this.

Regardless if she called social services before or not-why the heck not just get out of a relationship that is harming you or your child. There are alternatives to suffering domestic abuse, and if you are a parent, your first responsibility is to protect your child. Otherwise, don’t have them!

It is so sad to hear of any kind of abuse, must less against a child. As a mother I can’t understand how someone could watch as their child was being hurt in anyway.  God gave us our children to love and protect them. I would give my life for my children. God loves us unconditionaly, and I feel he has given us a little bit of that love, no matter how much I may not like what my children do sometimes, but I still love them. I’m not going to watch someone hurt them. I don’t know this person, but I am going to pray for her and her children. I know there are so many people out there who would love to have these children to raise in a good home. Its time for this abuse to stop, it needs to start somewhere. This is a helpless child who is looking up to his mother for protection and what is he getting? Its sounds as though she loves her boyfriend more than she does her children. If this is true, I pray they would not put the children back in that home.

people are crazyer than ever, the boy friend needs to be burned, and the law should have looked at the bio fathers plea or accuasition that she was mentally ill, it makes you wonder if the law looks for the fast and simple solution right or wrong
