[h=1]Mother of murdered Caboolture toddler, Mason Lee speaks[/h]https://au.news.yahoo.com/video/watch/31982415/mason-lee-caboolture-toddler/#page1
What I gather from this news story is that the mum knew about the injuries inflicted on Mason Lee, pm reveals some injuries were a week old and mum was with child around 5 days. It isn't clear why she didn't have full care of the child.
I've just been following the trial of Ben Butler who was responsible and found guilty of murder for the death of his 6 yr old daughter, Ellie. Ellie's mother,Jennie Gray, who didn't reside with BB, was found guilty of child cruelty.
I'm wondering if we have the same case here, where the mother is irrationally devoted to her partner and overlooks abuse inflicted on her child. These cases are just too tragic to even get my head around. These poor children are victims of their parent's sickening disorders. These children have no voices, no rights, nothing but pain and suffering!
I've researched similar cases of child abuse/manslaughter/murder in the past. IIRC a child living in a home where there is a non-biological 'adult' male in a quasi-parental role is 33 times more likely to suffer abuse. Is it a moral indictment against me if I predict his mother's partner will be responsible for Mason's death?
It is always the first place investigators look, because you're exactly right, living with a non-biological adult increases the risk of a child experiencing abuse of any kind.I've researched similar cases of child abuse/manslaughter/murder in the past.

There's so much that isn't being said in this case. That poor child must have been in excruciating pain.
I'm a single mom to 2 sons. And I won't let anyone that I date alone with my children. Or even meet them. No, they are not allowed in my home. They are young for such a short time. I have time for myself once they are out of the home.
‘Tragic bungle’ before toddler’s death

this may be behind a paywall so.......
Lee was found dead on June 11, but a medical report handed to homicide police shows the little boy was admitted to hospital in March suffering a broken leg, severe nappy rash, a ruptured bowel and an anal tear indicating he may have been sexually abused, The Sunday Mail was told.
Doctors reported Lee’s nappy rash was so severe it required surgical dressings.
