CTYers beware

[asterroc]

When you push your kids too hard, things like this can happen. I wonder why the defense didn't file a counter-claim of emotional and psychological abuse against the surving parent.

Well, only one died. I think the remaining parent should be brought up on charges of emotional/psychological abuse, and perhaps physical abuse if the day they made her stand naked in a corner was a cold one. Or at least some form of negligence for that last one. Whether the parents were "being mean" or abusive is not something I personally am an expert in, and it seems like it should be a concern in this case but has not been addressed.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if emotional or psychological abuse is even a crime. There are terrifyingly few protections for children against this as far as I can tell.

Making a kid stand naked though does reek of some form of sexual abuse, though.
