GUILTY IA - Addison Baldwin, 3, beaten to death, Davenport, 12 Oct 2010

Another mother who knew her child was being abused and did nothing. Why was she not charged with child endangerment?
 
From March 2012:

A jury found Zachary Connell guilty of first-degree murder in January, and a Scott County District judge sentenced him Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole...

Addison was at preschool the morning of Oct. 12, 2010. Connell was called to pick up the child early because Johnson saw that he was ill. Specifically, she testified that Addison appeared “extremely thin” and his abdomen was “extremely hard.”

Johnson testified that when Connell picked him up, he poked Addison in the abdomen and told her he had been trying “to toughen up” the child. She advised him to take Addison to a doctor. Connell didn’t take Addison to a doctor. The child died hours later.
