Kids left alone while moms partied tossed baby around like a football, stomped on the infant's head
Article here. Excerpt:
'Two moms in Texas left their children, ages 6 and 4 — and a 2-month-old baby — alone in a locked bedroom while they were out partying at a hotel, leading to a horrific incident where the older kids tossed and stomped on the infant's head, cops say.
The mothers, Sidney Whitt, 21, and Jacqulun Morales, 29, allegedly placed the children in the care of Morales' 18-year-old sister, Shelby Munoz, and locked them in a bedroom before leaving to go drink alcohol and use drugs with a man at a local hotel, according to local ABC affiliate KLTV and local CBS affiliate KYTX.
A police press release obtained by the television stations says the children tossed the 2-month-old around and stomped on the baby's head until the child began having seizures and suffered a brain bleed. Extensive facial bruising was also reported by doctors after the infant was brought to a local hospital.'

What would NOW say?
Probably that the stress of caring for the infant caused the women to both get high then assault the infant and that ultimately it's the Patriarchy's fault.
According to HHS stats more kids killed by neglect & abuse...
I once did an online search of HHS stats pertaining to deaths of children (1 to 18 years old) by neglect and abuse. According to HHS stats over several years there are more kids killed by neglect and abuse in a year than all the female victims of intimate partner homicide killed in a year, and the single biggest slice of the pie chart showing who's killing those kids is - - - the biological mother. How's that for gender based violence?
