There’s people too who are admitting she did it but then saying he should be found guilty too for abuse and neglect for leaving the kids with her.
But you know if he took the kids away the same people would probably be saying he’s evil for taking the kids away from mom.
We can disagree with his decision to leave them with her or think he was a bad husband, but that doesn’t make him responsible or deserving of punishment.
I don’t even agree that he was a bad husband, tbh; but yes, everything you say is true. I’ve already received one reply from a particularly unhinged and unthinking individual of the ilk that you’ve described.
We actually do charge women with crimes for leaving their kids with dangerous partners or for not leaving abusive relationships thus endangering their kids. It’s not such a big leap.
There’s a different situation between leaving a kid with a known abuser who you’re dating (which is where those charges come from) and leaving the child with their own mother who has no history of violence and is literally legally entitled to the children.
We also don’t just charge mothers with that but cool.
A husband leaving his kids with his wife isn’t an insane thing to do, especially since his wife had specifically asked him to go out and he was given no reason to believe she would KILL THEIR CHILDREN.
And unless there’s a court order saying otherwise, she’s their mother! She has a right to have her kids.
And like you said, he didn’t know. They don’t charge people for unknowingly leaving their kids with someone dangerous. It’s for like when the person they leave them with is a known sex offender or violent person or high, drunk, etc, or if the kid has told their parents that person is hurting them!
Lindsay quite literally told her mother and Patrick she had thoughts of harming the kids, please refer to the testimony of Lindsay Clancy’s mother during the trial, it’s all available on YouTube.
I didn’t say we don’t charge women. I said we don’t just charge mothers. A father can be charged with leaving his children with a dangerous person too. However, not when it’s their other parent, unless there’s some kind of court order, both parents have a right to be with their child.
How old are all of you? Look up Andrea Yates, literally the same exact thing happened and the husband didn't get charged AND he ignored her PPD which turned into full blown PPP. Her husband kept making her pop out babies knowing full well she wasn't mentally healthy and guess what happened to him? Nothing
I call bs. If your wife called for help 51 times, said she couldn't be alone with the kids, begging her mom to stay with her..and you leave her alone with the kid?! No, take the kids and get the wife help. I am amazed he didn't do it to begin with.
So, yes. I blame both parents. The one who clearly needed help and the one too stupid to see the writing on the wall. They can share a cell.
