Maybe Eve Ensler, for the next Vagina Mono can have a famous actress read this list of crimes and discuss the possibility that of the thousands and thousands of son's and daughters who are beaten, each year, - and for many years in some cases - such beatings and humiliations cause many children to grow up to be violent. So why is it tht women beating children as part of the "cycle of violence" is something that feminists continue to hide as they trash men as the root of all evil? A boy slapped around for ten years by a woman who is huge, in comparison, finds as a man a woman slapping him and he slaps her back... only his violence is recorded while both his mother and GF get a free ride?

In one of the articles listed they said more than a quarter of childrens murders are by mothers. Did they mean more than a quarter as in 2/3 or does someone have their statistics off a little? Like to hear more on these stats and where they come from.

When children die from neglect, usually when with the mom, it's not called homicide. go to www.RADARinfo - Domestic Violence
I think that will help last comment asking for more stats.
