If it was a women the reaction would be Oh the poor dear she must have issues.

Why do we not have the death penalty in this country again?

Why do we not have the death penalty. Well, fundamentally we are nothing but a bunch of bleedin hearted liberals, who like to hug trees and kiss fishes. Thus we would rather defend the incarcerated population, instead of the victims. What a fine country we have.

The intent of my comment here is not to male bash. Mothers who abuse their children need to accept responsibility and assume the consequences of their crimes. More and more, the courts and child welfare systems are looking to fathers to care for their children. This was not the case in years gone by.

Here are some 2001 Canadian stats according to the FREDA Centre for Research on Violence Against Women and Children
- 14% of all reported physical assaults are against children.
- 22% of these physical assaults are committed by family members, most often parents.
- Most perpetrators of physical assaults against children are male (78%)

In Canada you are presumed innocent until convicted of a crime, the comments that have been removed suggest that the man charged, and keep in mind he is only charged, is guilty. You cannot make that statement.
Please conduct yourself in a proper manner so that justice can work its way through. People have been found not guilty because they were pre- judged.

We must protect our children. They are all our responsibility. Not everyone is qualified to raise children. Age doesn't matter.

Putting a story like this out knowing full well how the public is going to re act is just foolish. Of course they are going to say all kinds of skinner stuff that do gooders shouldn't read. Bad news is good news eh

WHY? The USA has the death penalty,and who has the largest per capita murder/rape/violent crime rate in the world? Does killing the killer stop future killers from killing? NO. Why doesn't Canada have the death penalty? Would you like to be the person that flipped the switch/pulled the lever etc on David Milgaard? Well?? 'Nuff said. 'NUFF SAID. Jesus Christ people and eye for an eye? Really? 2009 ? Oh right, I did say 'nuff said didn't I?

Anyone still inclined to blame family violence on the patriarchy and male aggression should look at the statistics on violence against children. A 1998 report from the Department of Health and Human Services, Child Maltreatment in the United States, finds that women aged twenty to forty-nine are almost twice as likely as males to be "...perpetrators of child maltreatment" or about two-thirds were female. For cases of neglect and medical neglect, the estimate is that three-quarters of the perpetrators are female.

I read a stat a while back in a book called 'A Farewell to Alms -A brief economic history of the world' that said the average killer has on average three times as many off spring as the average none killer in society... and that the greater amount of crimes correlated with the greater amount of offspring. I remember thinking that’s a disturbing factoid.

He will get his share in GP.

Comparing our situation to stats in the U.S. is not productive. We have a better social net...or we did anyway. With all of the cuts it's starting to feel more like the U.S. every day. It's not like we don't have our share of violent crimes in Canada but the frequency and severity is not comparable.

A Calgary mother has been convicted of manslaughter in the strangulation of her 14-year-old daughter.

Aset Magomadova, 39, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of daughter Aminat on Feb. 26, 2007.
