Dad indicted for 1st-degree murder of 5-month-old son (Lake County, Illinois)

Dad is identified as VICTOR SALINAS-CARONA. Notice that Mom has been charged with child endangerment...for LEAVING the baby with his Daddy. Isn't this what authorities tell mothers they must do? That the must "involve" the father? This is a total double standard. Fathers are virtually never held responsible for impregnating and/or "leaving" a baby with a mentally ill, drug-addicted, mentally incapacitated, and/or abusive mother.
