Answer to Question 1

Negligent supervision

Answer to Question 2

The syndrome allows evidence of the history of abuse by the party alleging this condition causing them to injure or kill their abuser. It is not considered a complete defense to the crime but a mitigating factor to be considered by the court/jury to reduce the degree of the charge based on a psychological condition to the defendant due to abuse over a long period ot time.
