The article addresses that issue:

“The laws against failing to prevent child abuse are written to cover both fathers and mothers. And, in fact, women perpetrate 34% of serious or fatal cases of physical abuse of children, according to the latest congressionally mandated national study of child abuse. But interviews and BuzzFeed News’ analysis of cases show that fathers rarely face prosecution for failing to stop their partners from harming their children. Overwhelmingly, women bear the weight of these laws.”

But I WANT it to stifle the Police’s creativity.
The Police’s creativity is part of the problem.

And the baseball example is stupid.

Shouldn’t a man be just as liable for letting a woman abuse a child? Child abusers are not only men, no matter what feminists would like you to believe.
