Yes, I believe this probably happened long before the news coined a phrase for it. If men had been given a woman's maternal responsibility thru history, it would have happened even more (i'm just sayin') I really like this one

Tragic sign of our times perhaps. Did it used to happen? (I don't know; I'm asking... Internet provided me no answers). ~ gw

Sure did sure does, weird you couldn't get National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome: leading cause of child abuse deaths in US, 13,000 cases a year, 25% fatality, mostly in babies under 6 months, mostly from frustration or anger from crying. And you know more outside of statistics scope. I wouldn't say sign of times, sign of a lot of things or lack of... xomo
