Domestic violence is never ok. Ever, Not one slap. Not one punch. Not one push intended to harm another.

"Battered person syndrome (BPS) is a physical and psychological condition of a person who has suffered (usually persistent) emotional, physical, or sexual abuse from another person."


I find it hard to believe in this mothers claim to battered wife syndrome when it comes to not protecting her child.

It makes me so sad and so angry that a child was treated so abusively and eventually murdered and her mother did not protect her.
