Kelli seems to be someone who was trying, but was just not able to cope. I have a lot of sympathy with her. It's easy to say she is evil, but I don't think this is the case. I don't think I could have walked a mile in her shoes. I would have beaten the crap out of the kid the first time she hit me. She doesn't seem to have done this, but rather sought support and tried to work with her child.
I think her actions came out of despair and desperation, not malice. And I don't think she belongs in jail.
No, she does belong in jail. If you attempt to murder another human who is defenseless and you are not doing it in self defense (which she clearly wasn't in this case), she needs to serve time.
Also, beating your kids is awful, and no parent should EVER do that, that is abuse. I honestly do not get how you can sympathize with her and NOT her daughter.
Kelli beat her daughter or are you speaking in general?
Issy was beating her mother. How can people keep missing this? If Kelli was beating her daughter, where did you get this?
Also if Issy is defenseless, Kelli wouldn't have landed in the hospital several times or have brain injuries.
Parental abuse is a real thing but sadly when you google it, very few results come up about it and child abuse results mostly pop up.
Hell they even made a movie in 2001 called Dangerous Child and the kid in it is 16 and he hits and throws stuff at his mother when he gets mad and he was not autistic. The mother of course would lie and make up a story about how her son got a cut on his arm and needed it to be stitched(he tried to punch his mother and she dodged it and his arm went through the window and cut himself with glass when it broke) or why there were things out of place in their home (the son did it while trying to attack his mother and she kept dodging) because she either didn't want her son arrested and have a criminal background or she was ashamed. But at the end the kid ends up getting help after his arrest.
What if Issy wasn't autistic and she still did all this, would we still be making this big of deal about it or find it all tragic and sad and feel sorry for the mother? I sense people would still be in uproar and there would be less people sympathizing with the mother simply because people do not think parental abuse is real (and the fact Issy wouldn't be autistic) just like how people do not believe how men can be victims of domestic violence or moms who can't protect their kids from abuse due to the abuse they suffer themselves from the abuser.
