The PC brigade put a stop to that factor. And in some cases it's good. In this case I cannot see what any kind of Jail sentence provides at all. The poor lady has been for many years and no doubt now will continue to be in a different way, in her own kind of Hell. Jail ? ZERO to do with Justice here it's only Law - and poorly applied at that. Compassion might have been better. Greater assistance while the young one was alive would have possibly had a better outcome also !
Does it outrage you, that this mother didn't get a longer sentence?
Does it make you sad, that she had to watch her daughter suffer?
"Walk a mile in my shoes".
"Judge not, lest ye be judged"
Lock her up and throw away the key?
I just find this sort of crime, so extremely sad. What pushes a mother to the brink of despair, that this is the only way out.
How can mothers be capable of killing their child/ren?
I think of the poor South Afrikan mum, who killed her 3 children. Mentally unstable? Had a breakdown? Having a bad day? Stress of settling into a new country and new culture??
You thoughts?
I strongly disagree with that - prison is often harsher for women & is indeed punishment. But I do agree with the rest of your post, especially with regard to more or better assistance while her daughter was still alive.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
