Lynn, thank YOU so much! I thought the exact same two things when I first read about Otty so I had to "go there." This "dad" quite frankly bailed on both Otty and the baby. I'm with you, it's a guilty conscience he sports now. Screaming for the death penalty was the last straw for me. I might make him my hobby. You know, the State may have a look at prosecuting him in some way, it did happen in Texas!
And yes, women are held to far higher parenting standards and it makes me very, very angry. Additionally, many men quite simply consider themselves free to walk away. AND MEN I AM NOT GENERALIZING. . . . TAKE NO OFFENSE. Have been around the criminal justice system many, many years. It is what it is.
Have a wonderful night Lynn, and thanks. G
Oh yea, saw one comment to the effect "just another woman using that post partum [censored] to beat a murder charge" . . . . sure buddy. Because women just love eating their babies or methodically drowning them in the tub or putting them into microwave ovens . . . Made me FURIOUS. ;-( g
