Only here could a thread derail so completely.

(Good attempt at rerail there, Alex!)

And more importantly, is the violence excusable in a case like that?

I think we have to accept that violence is inherent in the system.

Well, they'll have to be sold off for medical experiments, of course!

Wow, I never expected to see this go off base so fast! From a poor defencless dead 3-year-old to Monty Python kicks. Wow.

All I can add is that the mother should have protected her child. If the boyfriend cheats, beats, or hurts the kid once, they're going to do it again. Plain and simple. Odviously from her "track " record, her "Knight In Shining Armor" seems to be always "White Trash in a Wife Beater." Try to find something other that "Criminal record" in the next suiter. Maybe romantic walks along the beach perhaps???

Oh, I agree, Bornieo. There are just so many 'should haves' in this picture. I have to admit that to a certain extent I am with Traci on this one- I have always felt that those who have been abused in the past should suffer double the punishment for committing the same offense. They know how much it hurts, and for how long. No excuses allowed- the price is simply too high. And before I get flamed, let me just say that in this particular area I happen to know more than anyone should. I still say they should know better, and anyone who kills a kid is done as a human being.
