Comments about ‘Teen mother charged with killing her son’

As it should be, but I am still fuming over the Mom who left her kid in the car for several hours and got off becuase the judge said she was under stress because she had to work and take care of her kids. Welcome to the real world cookie.

this makes me sick ..what is wrong with us?

How could a mother hurt her own child like that? I couldnt imagine doing something like that to my baby.. she deserves to rot in jail..

Wow... I am also sick after reading this... Torturing a child to death... why why why why why!

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.

"severe, bending force" that "would have taken some time to inflict." Thinking of what that tiny baby went through makes me sick! What is going on with people? You have to be messed up in the head to do something like that to any living thing! Everyday there is an article in the news about a baby being killed by an adult. I don't get it! Why are people having children if they don't want them? The new laws allow people to give them up no questions asked. What is it better to be known as a baby killer than a responsible person "Doing the right thing" and giving your baby up?

I don't understand what is going on with people in the world who can inflict such harm on their child. As a parent, I feel the greatest obligation to love, care for, and protect my child from any harm. I think as a society our innate love and conscience is gone.

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.

This is so sad!! why do people have children if they don't want them and don't want to take care of them. Reality is children are a lot of work and you have to take care of them 24/7 even if you have be inconvienced. I just don't understand why some people even have children!

I wish people wouldn't do stupid things like that.
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 also need to remember that the mom was a child. If she's 17 now, she was 15 when she had the baby. If her boyfriend was the father, then he should have been charged with rape. Where were her parents when she initially got pregnant? Why didn't they protect their daughter when she was suffering? So the cycle continues - she passes on abuse to her child. There are more guilty people here than just the mom.

Teenagers shouldn't be having babies...if they do, they need to give the baby up for adoption to responsible adults. It makes me sick that we allow children to raise children. Shame on this girl's parents for not helping her to make better choices in life. Shame on ANY parent who doesn't help their children to make better choices.

Yes, the mother was legally a child, but she choose to enter the adult world around age 14 by having sex and conceiving a baby. Instead of being a high school student, she is with her "boy friend" and her two young children at age 17. This was her unfortunate choice. The consequences that go with her choices are difficult and far- reaching. I can't believe that no one told the little eighth grade student that sex at her age was not a very smart choice.

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.

I am not satisfied with the many comments I read here. I would like to say, if all men, young and old were to have decent ideas pertaining to sex--in other words, abstinence from sex until married, and then fidelity afterward, there are many less people in the world who would suffer.

I am not satisfied with your dissatisfaction. If all women, young and old, were to have the same decent ideas pertaining to sex, it might be a little easier for the men to have decent ideas.

How are you going to spend all the money you make from working overtime on this story?

This is in response to "Anonymous" who said teenagers should not be having babies. I agree with this statement. However, I do not agree that it is the parent's responsibility or right to make their daughter do what they think is "right". There are many rights in some cases. I got pregnant at 17. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, making the decision of either keeping my baby and marrying the father, or placing the baby. After much prayer and thought, I decided to keep the baby. I married the father, we were sealed in the temple recently and I am now pregnant with our second child. I am only 20. I feel that having that first little baby forced me to mature early. I am happy and I love my now two-year old son and ANXIOUSLY await the arrival of our daughter. There are girls out there who are in different circumstances than I was, and their decision is up to them, but I just wanted to say that "anonymous'" was incorrect in their assumption.

What a sad story. Torture of a child is heart-breaking, especially repeated torture. The positive outcome from this event is that the child escaped a nighmare and is living in a better place now. I am not one to judge, but for we who believe in God, everyone is accountable for their actions, not just in this life.

Lets make an effort to get these holyier than thou judges out of office. They serve themselves and their thinking rather than the right things to do, to often..These thugs are the one's responsible for most of the do-agan-bums, who get away several times before someone wakes up and blues them. Get the top out first.

...when I read this article! I have 9 children, 4 step children and 17 grandchildren. Yes, raising children is a lot of work, but it is well worth the effort. However, as a few have said, this mother was a mere child herself when she had the baby. As hard as it is, both would have been better if she had been willing to place her son for adoption and wait for a better time to raise children. My heart just aches for the suffering of this little boy. It is beyond all comprehension to me, trying to understand how or why this cruelty was inflicted on an innocent child. For his sake, I'm glad that he is now beyond the suffering he has endured in his short life.

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.

who are we to judge 'God' is the only one to judge.and also innocent until guilty none of you knew her instead of pointing fingers pray for her all my prayers are with her and her family God be wih you adrianna

Being a young mother (or father) is not ideal, but it doesn't automatically make one irresponsible. Let alone, torture and kill their child. I was seventeen years old when I had my son. Who, by the way, is now almost seventeen himself and he, too, would know better. I'll leave it at that, because whatever I would post about the 'mother' is not fit for print. I, certainly, won't be praying for her at all. My thoughts and prayers will be with the innocent and defenseless, this poor baby boy.
