What is the matter with these people?

I am still reeling after reading about this in the local newspaper yesterday.A Delaware woman and her live-in boyfriend,both 20,were arrested after Friday the boyfriend allegedly bit his girlfriends 10 month old baby girl(not HIS child)for crying excessively.Both the adults had been drinking all evening and the mother was charged for failing to report the abuse because "she did not want to lose her boyfriend"!!!!WTF?
Luckily,an observant family member noticed the injuries and reported the pair to police and child welfare and she was removed from the home and her mothers custody.The mother (and I use that term loosely) was freed on bail but the boyfriend was still being held in Sussex County.
What the hell is wrong with these people?What kind of asshole bites a defenseless and vulnerable infant?And what kind of mother is going to knowingly expose her little girl to that sort of person?Afraid to lose him?I would be plotting his painful torture,not "scared to lose him".My womans intuition tells me that the mother herself was probably victimized by this jerk but thats still no excuse.My thoughts and prayers go out to this little girl!
