“Such a finding depends instead upon the existence of a relationship between the defendant and victim generally conducive to reliance of one upon the other. A relationship of trust or confidence existed because defendant was the child’s mother and because she was singularly responsible for its welfare. The abuse of her parental role relates to defendant’s character and conduct and was reasonably related to the purposes of sentencing.”
