I was not mother blaming btw as I think in these situations not only is it tragic, but it is often the case a lot of people played a part hence I mentioned the others in the household at the moment. What I do look at though given I have had to deal with abuse professionally is the whole picture, the signs perhaps not all was ideal (such as others being in the house and yet it still being possible the child was murdered without anyone being aware), patterns of relationships of those involved and those around them including the mother who it seems was the primary carer, and how those involved on a daily/weekly level played a part in the whole picture of what was before and after.
Abuse is never easy to confront, and child murder is horrible to even acknowledge as a reality, but rarely (when family or those involved with the family are involved) does it happen in a home where everything is perfect and in the best interests of the child but more often where dysfunctionality exists, though is not always visible or dealt with when brought to attention. It would be wonderful to be able to turn back the clock but we can't, but perhaps by looking at how it could happen instead of trying to be PC and not look to any cause except from blaming the one who did it, another child can be saved from going through the same experience. Too often people say after the event that they saw signs, or they were concerned, or reports had been made to government agencies, and yet no-one did a thing until it was too late...on the surface it seems one person is to blame and responsible, but the reality is more often than not many people played a part in allowing the situation to progress to that level where the child was/is harmed or killed. Do you understand what I mean?And yes, I understand you don't know the answers because you didn't know anyone but the father.

yes i understand completely what you're saying.
and it's the same thing i said...why, in a house that small with 2 other people in the house did no one else help put that child to sleep that night when i KNOW they had to have heard Emil having a hard time...it's just hard for me to blame anyone but him right now. and honestly in my heart, i honestly dont' think he "meant" to kill Kieran, i think he was frustrated and went to far by holding him down with a pillow on his chest...i think it was a split second decision, that he was just at his breaking point and handled the stress in the wrong way....of course, that's just my feeling, i could be wrong, but i don't think it was intentional though that doesn't make it any less wrong. but right now, i'm just not ready to truly feel that he didn't mean it..you know? he cried during court, so hard that he couldn't answer the judges questions when the judge was speaking to him. do i think it was remorse? in my heart of hearts...?...yes i do...in my mind? no..i think he was crying for himself....this is just how i'm feeling right now, and i'm sorry if i'm rambling...it's just all still so fresh and i have so many thoughts and feelings and i have nowhere else to release them.....
