Mom Claims She Was “Too Busy” to Stop Her Boyfriend from Molesting Her 6-Year-Old Daughter
It’s safe to say that most parents would do just about anything to protect their children. After all, no parent wants to see their children suffer. But unfortunately, there are a handful of people who don’t care what happens to their kids. Here, one woman was charged with first-degree cruelty to children after she failed to tell police that her six-year-old daughter was being molested by her boyfriend. The man had been molesting the child for a while and no one did anything about it. So why didn’t she report the crime? She was “too busy.”
Guilty. A man named Damylo Morrow has been sentenced to three years in prison after he was found guilty of sexual battery and child molestation. Morrow had been molesting his girlfriend’s six-year-old daughter for months.
Molested. According to the Atlanta Journal-Consitution, Morrow had abused the girl on New Year’s Eve in 2014. However, it wasn’t until months later that the investigation began when the child’s grandmother found out and took her to a hospital where the girl told doctors what happened.
Lies. To make matters worse, the victim’s mother knew about the abuse, but claims she didn’t go to police because she was “too busy” and had a “hectic work schedule.” While the investigation was taking place, the victim’s mother also reportedly told her to lie about the abuse to police.
Arrest. However, the girl told detectives that Morrow had massaged her legs and then touched her in her genitals, reports the Atlanta Journal-Consitution. Morrow was arrested and sentenced to eight years in prison, and will be required to register as a sex offender.
Probation. The child’s mother, who was not named to protect the identity of the victim, was also arrested and sentenced to eight years of probation. She will also not be allowed to have unsupervised visits with her daughter as long as she’s still on probation.
Others. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first instance where a mother has allowed her daughter to be molested. Last year, a woman in Ft. Lauderdale was arrested after she reportedly let her ex-boyfriend molest her daughter, who was also six years old.
Abuse. According to NBC Miami, the victim was forced to shower with the ex-boyfriend. He also forced her to wash his genitals and claimed he was “teaching her about sex.” It was the girl’s father who discovered that the abuse was happening and called police.
E-mails. The victim’s father told police that he’d been helping his ex-wife with her resume and was using her e-mail in the process. There, he discovered e-mail exchanges between the woman and her boyfriend where they discussed the abuse.
Questioned. The woman claimed to not know anything about the e-mails when police came to question her, but they eventually got a warrant and searched her e-mails. Both the mother and her boyfriend were arrested.
Wrong. According to NBC Miami, the boyfriend eventually admitted to the crime, saying he knew it was wrong. He also maintained the incident only happened once, and that it wasn’t ongoing. It’s unclear what their sentencing was.
Others. In 2016, 44-year-old Tracy A. Glover was sentenced to ten years in prison after she allowed her boyfriend to rape her two ten-year-old daughters. Alberto P. Hernandez would repeatedly rape the girls, and Glover did nothing to stop him.
Addict. According to Dispatch, Glover is mentally ill and was addicted to drugs and alcohol. Hernandez would also reportedly rape her as well. However, because Glover was complacent with the rapes of her daughters, she was also arrested.
Not enough. “My daughters mean everything to me,” Glover said in court. “It didn’t mean that much. It didn’t mean enough,” responded Judge Chris Brown.
No parole. Hernandez, on the other hand, was charged with four counts of rape and sentenced to life in prison. He will not be eligible for parole.
You. What do you think of these horrific cases of mothers letting their daughters get abused? Do you think they deserve their sentences? Let us know what you think!
While it is true a mother may not know it is happening, The abuser may be very good at hiding their actions and it is common for the abused to hide what is happening also.
I believe that when the mom knows for sure what is happening. She should act immediately and protect the victim in any way possible. with any means at her disposal. I am strongly against abuse of all kinds. There is no excuse. Only protection. I feel so sorry for the victim mentioned in the law case. For a child a parent is suppose to protect them, believe them, save them. That was not done.
Such a betrayal of trust - I am a mother who would do anything to protect my babies. She was anything but that. I find that goes against all my morals I was raised with. You protect your family. You don't allow anyone to hurt them. As a mother she should have done that.
