Girlfriend of cusodial dad accused of murdering 5-week-old baby (Washington, Georgia)

Here's the question that's not being asked: Why is a five-week-old infant, basically a newborn, being subjected to any custody situation with Daddy and his new girlfriend?

Newborns need loving, consistent care--preferably with their mom. They don't need to be passed around and subjected to Daddy's resentful new girlfriend, who no doubt didn't like getting stuck with caretaking duties for a baby she is not the mother of.

Mothers need to have sole custody, and daddies need to butt out.
