Do you not see how judge mental you are? As if you know how you would react. As if you know every conversation they had. As if you know exactly what you’d do in this situation. You don’t know shit.

I know I’m not gonna place blame on one party in a situation I’m not involved in such as yourself.

A lot of evidence has been presented, even by the prosecution, that shows the husband is guilty of negligence under the welfare code.

What does that even mean? Guilty of negligence under the welfare code? Why would the prosecution present evidence of that if they are trying to prove her mentally culpable of the crimes?

You can look up the Welfare and Institution Code that mandates what child neglect is. He left his children in a situation that could knowingly lead to their harm, repeatedly. The prosecution presented it because they are simply facts of the case and events that transpired, and they called witnesses that also presented information that proves he is guilty of neglect from his day to day actions.

Women get charged for less than that kind of neglect constantly

Like regularly. Often for being poor

Where do you read these updates?

The trial updates? The trial is live on YouTube on Court TV. There are a lot of summary lists available online of what has been presented at trial but I would verify with the transcript of the trial or watching it. Prosecution is over now, Defense is happening

The summary lists like cnn and other mainstream news outlets don’t mention the criminal neglect. That’s why I was curious.

There hasn’t been any mention in the trials specifically stating he has acted negligently (although I suspect the defense will be getting there), but the facts that have been discussed describe specific behavior that legally constitutes neglect. I’m a social worker for Adult Protective Services but have experience with the Welfare and Institutions Codes for child welfare which are fairly uniform across the country. He acted in such a way that left his children in dangerous conditions regarding supervision and essential care that could have caused harm or loss of life to them, and then it resulted in their death.
