Why the hell did the mom just stand there? Seriously, the moment the boys dad started beating him she should have been on the phone with the cops and telling the dad what she is doing? Now, obviously no guarantee that the cops could have gotten there in time, but still. From the article she just stood there "begging".
Quite honestly, I hope she is charged for negligence, because she should and could have done something to stop it.

Regardless of whether this guy goes for the insanity defense, there is obviously something wrong with him that he would execute his own son - who knows what he would do to his babymama. As a mother, I'm pretty sure I would have been willing to throw myself in harm's way for one of my children, but I doubt the law extends that far, because clearly, interceding in this situation would have lead to serious harm and possible death for her.

Either way, negligence would not be an appropriate charge, being that she didn't really have much culpability in this. Calling 911 might have shown a little bit of an attempt to prevent this from happening, but I doubt it would have changed the outcome. Besides, I highly doubt her mind was functioning properly at that point.
