Somebody Needs A Slap!

The question is not if a hasher sentence will have an effect on others or not.

She has not shown any regards for somebody elses life. She has purposely let another human being die a horrible death. The sheer brutality of the crime makes her a danger to society, plus she has lost all privilige to reside amongst us.IMO.

All this psycho babble that some of you are pulling out is irrelevant. Maybe she is disturbed? maybe she is mental case? maybe she is not responsible for her own actions? but maybe she is just an irresponsible bitch.
In either case it doesn't matter. In either case she is a danger to society. period and should be put away for life.

Come on people she let a small child die of thirst..what the hell is wrong with some of you, trying to make excuses for her?

Children are the most innocent victims of all.
 
not practical

She is both a mental case AND a selfish bitch. There's little doubt about that.

However, in the real world, we have to make smart use of our jail cells. Confining this woman until menopause is overly idealisic, costly and impractical.

This woman could be a serious danger to her own offspring only. Again, I would have preferred a sentencing deal that gives her a strong incentive to choose sterilization. I also wish it was mandatory for hospitals to notify authorities if she ever gives birth again so they can watch her closely and be ready to yank the kids at the first sign of neglect.

I do believe there are times when people should be removed from society, one way or another. But in this case, nobody has convinced me this offender poses any danger at all to the general public or even other peoples children. It's a very particular (if disgusting) type of behaviour.

I'd like to see her serve a little longer minimum, but I recognize this is an emotional reaction. Fact is, like most prisoners, she IS getting out sooner or later, and in truth she'll only be more bitter and selfish for every year she's lost, I don't want to know how well she handles that.
