I was reading about that kid who was virtually bashed to death by his mum's defacto. Absolute maggot and scum of the earth. But why is no blame being levelled at the mother? Surely she had some clue this was going on. Sure throw the book at the fucking asshole who did it (13 years is a joke for murdering a kid), but also have a look at the bird who sat back and seelingly did nothing until her boy was dead.
Did she go to the cops? Child services? Even a hospital? No, did nothing as far as I can see.
If she did, perhaps her kid might still be alive

It's a fair ask from Bowie. Perhaps she was in fear of her life if she went for help, I'm not sure. Otherwise you would say she did have a chance to get out. But it must hurt her to lose her child.
Move over Stan Zemanick!
Bowie, calls it how he sees it.
I think someone we know would know more about it but I'm a bit with Elks in that the woman was too fearful to do anything - if the bloke beats up on children it's a fair bet he slaps the missus around too. She probably resorted to drugs or grog and just hoped it all went away. He got 13 years because it was downgraded to manslaughter.
Unfortunately we see too much American TV where stealing a bottle of milk will get you the death penalty on Law and Order. The judge probably had his hands tied because he wasn't up for murder, I'm no lawyer, or judge for that matter but you can't sentance someone for more than the maximum can you?
I think the maximum in this case was 20 years. I think it is a blight on society when murder can get downgraded to manslaughter when it is plainly murder, I mean what part of beating the shit out of a kid on a daily basis absolve someone from the intent of actually killing the boy.
It's fucked that the murder of a minor who has no protection in this world it rated as less important than an adult who is killed!
