The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.

Alright guys here is the deal:
Hedda Nussbaum was abused for nearly ten years. Contrary to popular belief, she tried to leave time and time again. She went to a hospital near where she lived THE VERY FIRST time she was abused (that is, hit; the physical abuse started far after the psychological). She told the doctor that her boyfriend had hit her, and then fearing what he would do if he found out, told the doctor “never mind”. The doctor crossed off that note and asked no more questions.
Shelters sent her to hospitals, who called her husband to pick her up. When she called her father to help her, Joel arrived home while she was packing and beat her severely, and then demanded she tell her father not to worry. She tried to leave 6 times before Lisa was killed.
This man wouldn’t let her sleep or eat. He beat her to the point of near death multiple times. He wouldn’t let her leave their home or allow people close.
I’m not sure why this is hard to understand, but there was nothing wrong with Hedda. She reacted as anyone would who was treated this way. Joel Steinberg is a monster, a monster who had three victims; the infant tied to his bed with string, the woman who tried to leave time and again until she found out that no one would help her, and of course the young child that did nothing wrong but who was beaten to death by a man with no soul.
I cried when I first heard this story, but I find it amazing that the tragic death of young Lisa probably inadvertently saved the lives of her mother and brother.
I hear Joel Steinberg is getting a cable tv show. Where’s the justice in that?
I’m sorry, but what a crock of bs! I lived in an abusive relationship for 7 years. I suffered many things including rape at my husbands hands. I even took many beatings that would have otherwise been inflicted on my daughter. But what I did NOT EVER DO is lay there and freebase with my husband for 6 hours while my child lay dying a few feet away.The second my ex actually did touch her i waited till he passed out and I took my child and RAN FAR AWAY! I dont care how bad it got, there is no excuse for what she did except that she was a pig drug addict who is just as guilty as her scum husband. THey are human waste, parasites and monsters and they BOTH deserve to be tortured to death. Now she gets to write a book and make money off this poor little girls murder!? I hope she dies.
