This court ‘win for mothers’ puts CHILDREN’S lives at risk

A New York court ruled in favor of a woman whose ex-boyfriend repeatedly slapped, beat and pulled her hair out in front of her infant daughter.

Ruben Navarrette : Ruling means other families may have to go through something much worse.

He says we can't ask infants and toddlers to enforce orders of protection against the men who are menacing their mothers.

He asks: We have to hold the mother responsible in some way for this situation.
