Quite right, but I've already covered that posts and posts ago. Maybe you have an ability that I do not (like flight..lol, right mystic?). I'd just like to see it in action.
I think we have plenty of data about that particular scenario without falling back on some "she chose not to see" defense.....nor would I be comfortable saying that the mother "simply" anything-ed. I mean, clearly this is becoming a thread about whether or not we choose anything (and I was just looking for a single example of choosing a specific thing) and I don't think anyone is required to close that book.....

For instance, a mother who claims that she had no idea her child was being molested by the father even though there were plenty of signs. The woman simply chose to not see what was really happening.
