"n the cases of at least three Midwestern children reported missing this year, police have discovered that their mothers had relationships with known sex offenders.

One little boy was found safe in a motel. One little girl was found buried in a riverside grave. And the third -- 3-year-old Haylee Donathan --was found Tuesday thousands of miles away from her home.

Federal authorities hunting Haylee's abductors knew who they are looking for -- her mother Candace Watson, 24, and Robbi Potter, 27, a convicted sex offender she is accused of helping escape from a post-prison halfway house in Mansfield, Ohio, May 28."

Some woman unfortunately can not live without men, no matter how worthless and scums they are. Thank you Dee.

My feeling is if the woman knowingly knows the man is a child sexual offender and something happens to the child, she should be prosecuted the same as the man.
Thanks Dee.

It's an understatement to say it was really bad judgment on the mom's part. I agree with Kathy in Candace's case. Since the man she exposed her children to was, and in no way could have been, considered rehabilitated, she is an accessory. She should be charged.

Whatever happened to some people's priorities. These womans' first priority should have been to protect their children.

It is so disturbing to think a parent would place their any child in harms way..let alone their own..She absolutely should be charged right along with him..
I agree Simone..No matter what a parent..male or female,,must always put their children first..

Thank you all for your comment..and notes too..

Its really easy to chastise women who habitually engage in risky relationships, but there are many more women doing this than it sounds like. Most of them end up in miserable relationships but no one is interested in the problem till it makes the news. No one goes into these relationships thinking I think my life isn't complicated enough I will go find some dirt bag to shack up with. What is happening here is a combination of role modeling from their own mothers relationships and opportunism from men who know they have to pretend to be some one they are not in order to get what they are after. You have to ask your self what a man says to a woman who he is grooming for this kind of thing. Common sense should tell you it must be a very manipulative effort. Women from these backgrounds need to learn that they do not need a man's help to survive. Unfortunately religious groups and employers who take advantage of women and do not promote or pay them well [ especially in the economic sector] help to enforce the notion that one must have a man to get buy. Even child welfare is guilty of enforcing this idea by taking the addition of a spouse as an improvement to a single mother's life.

Any real improvements to this kind of thing must henge on the idea of female independence. This is something that very much begins at home with how little girls are taught to see them selves.
