Blame Game
The BBC reports on the distressing case of two-year old Liam Fee whose mother and partner are accused of the child's murder, a separate charge of child neglect and the abuse of two other children in their care.
The two women are walking the streets free, for the moment at least, but in their defence claim that the little toddler was harming himself (which they claim they were powerless to prevent) and that another seven-year old was responsible for little Liam's death.
How two adults can make such claims is completely beyond me, but let's see what the jury makes of their story in the days ahead.

One of the women accused of murdering two-year-old Liam Fee has been telling the court it was "very upsetting" to see the toddler self-harming.
Nyomi Fee told the court she and her partner Rachel Fee were concerned about changes in Liam's behaviour and did not know what it was or how to stop it.
She said they believed he might have autism.
The couple deny killing the toddler at a house near Glenrothes in Fife in March 2014.

The pair also face allegations that they neglected Liam and abused two other children, one of whom they blame for killing Liam, while in their care over a two-year period.
The women, who are both originally from Ryton, Tyne and Wear, deny all the charges against them.
The prosecution case closed last week.
Nyomi Fee was giving evidence in her defence.
She told the court that she began an affair with Rachel in 2010.
When Rachel became pregnant with Liam they made plans to move to Scotland to set up as a family.
Rachel's male partner found out about the affair and they sped up their plans, moving to Glenrothes in December 2011.

Hair pulling
They entered a civil partnership in June 2012.
Nyomi Fee said Liam's behaviour at that time was "fine" but she said they had noticed changes after that.
She said Liam did not want to interact so much and started to pinch himself and pull his own hair.
Ms Fee says she and Rachel discussed autism with the nursery, health visitor and doctor.
She said it was "very upsetting to see Liam self-harming and not knowing what it was and how we could stop it".
Ms Fee said during the same time the couple began to have concerns about sexualised behaviour in a boy they looked after, who was acting is a sexualised way towards Liam.
The trial at the High Court in Livingston continues.
