Thanks for putting that timeline together. It's very odd.
I hope so. Too often I see the women who sacrifice their kids on the altar of "I need a man with a desperation and selfishness that far supersedes my love for my vulnerable kids" getting off scot free.
I'm sick of that.
However sometimes there is hope. One case that was particarly egregious but atypical in end result was the case of little Emma Thompson. The "mother" brought her precious child to the doctor with a rash that turned out to be genital herpes and bruising around her waist. But she wasn't removed from the home because they couldn't figure out who caused it. And couldn't "prove" sexual intercourse!
Then, mom, who is a nurse, superglued her little girl's head wound together instead of getting her treatment because she wanted to protect the new man who had raped and beaten the child.
Of course Emma died.
She was covered in 80 bruises, bite marks, had several broken bones, internal injuries, vaginal tearing.
Mom got 20 years for lying to every person who could've helped when she knew her criminal, child abusing boy toy was raping and battering her baby and allowing him to do it. (Actual conviction was for rape I think). I'm glad she got 20 years. But I was surprised. It's rare.

Of course. The moment I heard she didn't immediately call the father to see if he had taken Mariah, I knew she was dead and the mother knew it.
Ditto. That was indeed a profound post.
