Agreed. I don't even have kids but I swear if I did have a child and a man was doing the things that Glen did to Bone, I would happily spend the rest of my life on prison for killing him. Just watching this movie makes me mad, the part where he beats Bone in the bathroom and the mom is just sitting outside the door crying and listening to that sob beat her child. Holy hell if that were me there would be all kinds of war, that door would be tore down in a second.

Well...she did smash a bottle over his head, call him a monster, and grab Bone and get her out of there. That wasn't necessarily the problem/issue. The problem/issue occurred when she was in the car with bone, and he started banging his head against the car. THAT'S when she went off the rails and started stroking his hair, after just having witnessed him raping her daughter.
