I mean no disrespect to anyone here by the following post...
I hold JC just as accountable as Ethan's Mom. Both of these mothers failed their sons, and now both children are just as dead.
An abused child has no one else to step in and provide protection in those types of situations. Abusers are not in control of their anger, and at any time a child could die from injuries inflicted while the abuser is in a rage, or unable to control the urge to harm a child. The vast majority of abused children do not get needed medical attention after being abused....for obvious reasons.
Carnel was murdered because AB is a violent, abusive
. But AB was in a position to cause great harm to that precious little boy because JC allowed it. If a parent invites a violent person to live in a home with a vulnerable child, and that child is abused AT ANY LEVEL...then that parent should be prosecuted. It's putting a child at risk just as much, if not more, than allowing a child to ride in a car without a child restraint. A parent will get an expensive ticket for an unrestrained child riding in a car. There should be at least that much concern about the living situation when a child's life is at stake.
At this point, we don't really know what exactly was done to Carnel, but there is no doubt that he suffered, and that JC was aware of his suffering. If she had been a responsible parent, she would've taken her child to a DR to have his injuries assessed, and AB would've been turned in to the police.
I cannot understand a sliding scale of responsibility for any parent who has witnessed a child being abused.
IMHO.
