I can think of scenarios where the dad is innocent, but I'm really pessimistic about the mom at this point.

I can think of scenarios both ways.

Then last night I watched an Unusual Suspects program (Investigation Discovery channel) about the murder of Julie Rae Harper's 11 yr old son in 1997. She said a man had broken in and taken her son - her son was found stabbed next to his bed with a steak knife from the kitchen. She was charged and convicted of her son's murder. Found out years later a drifter serial killer had done it - he targeted Julie because he said she was rude to him in a convenience store. The perp (Tommy Lynn Sells) was caught because he had broken in to another house, stabbed two girls while they were sleeping (the parents were both asleep). One girl survived and identified him.

Just goes to show that a random person can break in for the purpose of harming a child or children, and parents could sleep through it.
