Well, you warned us. :(
Every time I read about someone beating a toddler or infant to death, I think about my 13 month old daughter. I can't fathom ever EVER doing anything to hurt her. It just boggles my mind and turns my stomach.
see, I warned you..
it's almost never the bio-dad in those awful cases, it's usually the mom's boyfriend or the stepdad. Apparently in the US & Canada kids are 70 times more likely to be murdered if there is a stepparent in the home, though oddly this is not true in Sweden, which makes you wonder.
"An Alabama man charged with murdering his two young children allowed the kids' stepmother to torture them by binding the little boy and girl with duct tape, stuffing one in a suitcase and forcing the other to stand in a corner all night, according to arrest warrants."
"Extrapolating from available data, the results indicated a
considerably greater risk represented by stepfathers than by
genetic fathers. At least five times as many children live
with genetic fathers, while the raw frequencies of filicide
were roughly equal in the two groups. A most liberal
estimate for the prevalence of stepmothering (5%) also
suggested that stepmothers represent a substantially greater
risk of filicide. Stepparents, especially mothers, were more
likely to have exhibited anger, beaten the child, previously
injured the child, and come to the attention of authorities for
child abuse. The presence of a stepmother’s genetic
offspring increased the severity of prior abuse and neglect."
The death penalty would take care of it.
