No Jail time needed.
But there should be forced sterilization. This person has proven that she cannot be trusted with a child.
AS a matter of fact, sterilization should be a plea option for many of these types of cases.
So you feel that some kind of criminalization and punishment is needed?
We won't sterilize. We can incarcerate.
This story is one of the many problems associated with this new aged compassion. Rolling Stone publishes magazine covers with terrorists and articles on what outside factors led to their actions. Trayvon Martin sucker punches a guy and acts seemingly with the intent to kill a person, and the whole country is flabbergasted that the victim used a gun to defend himself.
We don't live with fear of making a mistake. We are complacent. As Buzz pointed out earlier, girls are getting the idea from our media to put their purse in the child seat because they'll remember they need their purse even though they may not remember they need their child.
We're allowed to live selfishly without any concern for other people and without any concern for consequences because most consequences are being excused.
You have a lot of literature and research starting to question why our prison system involves so many black males. Most of this progressive thinking doesn't question the reasons why black males break laws. It questions the law.
You have people questioning the social status of certain types of people. It's not that some people are eschewing education and hard work and playing the same game everyone else has to play. It's that despite anecdotes that contribute to proving otherwise, we excuse these people's attitudes and blame their problems on everyone else and then try to force those who are successful to provide a certain level of convenience for them.
This story falls right in line with that. She acted in a way that KILLED her child. That to me is completely unacceptable in our society. It should be seen as a horrific act that should not be tolerated no matter the excuse. It's not something I would do. It's not something you would do. This is not a cast the first stone case. If it is, then every single crime has to be seen the same way.
Don't have enough money to eat, so you go steal from someone else? That's okay. Cast the first stone if you're without sin, right? And surely EVERYONE would go steal at some point in their life?
Like Dallas brought up - what if the scenario were different? What if it's a daycare worker having a brainfart and your child dies? What if it's a pharmacist being too concerned about a phone conversation and you die?
