Read the last paragraph, I find it ironic that she fears for her life. What about her boy? She was in that apartment for 4 days before he was finally taken to the hospital. She had many chances to escape and call for help. She didn't...

I will never understand how you don't save your own child. I am aware of the issues abused women face. I think I have the proper amount of empathy for them. But I don't understand how you stand by and watch someone kill your child. I would die first trying to save them. This story makes me sad for the world.

what a piece of crap..she deserves whatever happens to her.
there is no excuse in the world she could give, or reason, that would justify her callous actions towards that poor child.

I'm actually amazed that the news article is referencing (although indirectly) the facebook groups that are taking sides on this issue. Although I've never seen a real threat made on there, the news said they had some wacko call up and suggest he would do something... but alas, she's behind bars.

I am not sure how to say what I want to with this.......

Having been in an abusive relationship myself, and being the strong personality that I am, I find no excuse in her choices. However, having worked in homeless shelters, I am well aware that there are many women out there that will grasp onto a man just to have food in the cupboards. There is a sense of worthlessness in many abused women that most cannot understand. This does not mean I excuse her turning her head. It just speaks to her frame of mind.

How does someone who feels helpless get out? Me, as a strong person, knock his butt out and leave. But someone else who has NO confidence to speak of.....

that is a very good point. but still..it just seems like that mom instinct would take over..i cant stand hearing my little ones cry when they hurt, so i cant even imagine not freaking out big time if someone were beating them. i dont know..it seems that too many ladies are picking their boyfriends over their little ones these days, or maybe we hear about it more.

Proves my point.
90% of Humans are basically useless and should NOT be allowed to breed.
