All crimes are wrong, but I find this type of crime against little children extremely vile, vicious and evil. I am devastated to read this.
She belongs in jail alright, but they need to remove her uterus too because she should never become a mother again.
This "mother" deserves to stay in jail for the rest of her life. Even that is too nice of a punishment for what she put her child through.
he was just an innocent two year old and he has been killed for no reason whatsoevr!!! somtimes i get mad becasuse of all the things people do in the world.
i wish we could all just live in a world where people wouldn't do things like this.
We live in a world where personal values are decried as "old-fashioned". What's old fashioned about them is that they protect teenagers from pregnancy in junior high school and infants and toddlers from being in the custody of very immature mothers with an obvious lack of self-control or fore-thought for the consequences of behavior.
Those "old fashioned" values are to protect teens, young children, parents and our society from the philosophy of "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die" and all its miserable consequences.
The are terrible prices to pay for failing to teach values. Teen pregnancy, child abuse, broken homes, abandoned children, drugs, alcohol, unemployability, are just some of the consequences.
As grandparents, we need to help keep an eye on the little ones who are born to our children, especially if they are still young themselves. Our youngest son got married at 17 and now has 2 children. He's a great dad, and his wife is a loving mother. However, we help whenever we can to take one of the kids for a while and ease the stress for the parents.
