I am afraid you may be correct. Many people in society tend to always place blame on the father/male much more than they ever do with the mother... even when both defendants were involved in the abuse or death.
But as for me, I will only accept if its proven to be true. Just because Sini is a female/mom means nothing to me except make me cringe. Holding the title of mom never means she isn't just as guilty of doing abuse, neglect and other crimes against her child or even being a demanding control freak when it comes to her husband. She has already admitted she knows her husband will do anything for her. So she seems confident if she had any involvement in Sherin's death Wesley will cover for her, imo.
It seems more often than not when a mom and dad are involved and equal participants in harming or killing their child/children the sweetheart deal will go most often to the female defendant. I honestly find that infuriating. Neither one deserves a plea deal.
I actually hope no plea deal is accepted by the state for either of them even if their lawyers comes to the DA wanting one. They both acted in tandem while leaving little Sharon in a dangerous situation and Sini was the one there (not Wesley) when Sherin's little arm was badly hurt..
Spousal privilege normally goes out the window when the victim is a child but it may stand in this case since they both are criminal defendants unless of course one gets a sweetheart deal.
I constantly read news articles and it seems almost everyday there will be another article about a 'mom' abusing, neglecting or killing their child/children and some are done in the harshest cruel barbaric ways.
Women can be just as controlling, abusive, and domineering in their home as any male. Women aren't the only ones who have to deal with abusive partners
A few years back I read that almost 1 million calls were made by males to 911 in one year in our nation and the perpetrators of the DV assaults were done by a past or present female partner. And this doesn't even include verbal or emotional abuse inflicted by a female partner to the male victim. I have had two close male friends in my lifetime who were horribly abused by their spouse..both emotionally and physically. They stayed married for years to the abusers because they didn't want to leave their children and thought by staying they could be there to protect their children or see to their daily needs. This was at a time that the mother was always believed in family court even if they concocted vindictive lies against the father.
IMO
