I'm not going to make excuses for him, there are none. You're right, if it happened to one of my kids I'd be pizzed. Probably jail would be a blessing to him if I had my way. I'm curious why the comments aren't more along the lines of getting beat up, why is it always rape though? Just an observation, nothing more, nothing less.

All I know is that we should all be thanking that neighbor who called the police. If she wouldn't have called the police lord knows what kind of shape that baby would be in by the time the mother got home. While I don't care if you have a child out of wedlock, I do care about a mother leaving their baby with a person that just moved in that day. The story is vague and doesn't mention how long they may have known each other. My guess would be that they met on the internet, lol.

LDB, I have a child and I have a boyfriend. Your judgement above said that it is probable that my child will be abused by my boyfriend. Many problems with that assumption. Number one, less that 8% of the abuse cases of children are caused by the boyfriend/girlfriend of a biological parent. It is 90% more likely that abuse would happen at the hands of a biological parent. Second, I am a widow and I have a boyfriend who is no more likely to abuse my chid than his biological father would have. Please keep your judgmental statements to a lower level of craziness. Obviously, this woman is an unfit mother. No way she didn't notice that her child was being abused (and this certainly was not the only incident), she should be in jail too. However, throwing me in with her as the same kind of mother, made me need to defend myself. Use common sense and place blame where blame is due, with THIS unfit mother.

She should be put in jail, immediately. That child can come live with me as I would be sure no man was ever put before my child's safety.
