I'm not the OP but IMO I can see where people may perceive the mother as neglectful, mainly because it isn't typical or the norm that a mother would hand over a 2 year old to another unrelated caregiver for such an extended period of time unless she either felt she could not properly care for him *or* that she did not want to care for him.I'm curious what leads you to believe the mother is neglectful?
Currently we don't know why she did so IMO it's within reason that we should be allowed to consider that she did not want to care for King. And by definition that would be neglect on her part. JMO.
