Her sentence should be death. Maybe someone, in the prison, where she is going, will carry out that sentence.
Life is good!

In all fairness a lot of young mothers, especially those without the guidance of a parent or grandparent have a really hard time with their babies. We have no idea what kind of situation this girl was in or what her state of mind was. For all we know this baby could be the product of a rape or an abusive relationship.. She could even be suffering from some serious post-partum depression which can and does cause a mother to endanger and even kill her children even if she doesn't realise it's happening.
Condemning her and knowing only a tiny fraction of her story is fairly ignorant.
The death of a child is a terrible thing but things are not always as the appear.

I feel sorry for her. She doesn't seem well. Farmville is an addiction to some just like anything, she would've killed the kid anyway, over anything.

What the *bleep* does that have to do with the article? Nothing at all. And seriously blaming cannabis, the last time I seen people smoke marijuana they didn't have the energy to go kill someone let alone get off the couch to eat their next chip. Know your facts before you blab your mouth off.
Secondly this woman clearly has issues that would cause her to shake her child in the first place; could be stress, could be postpartum considering the child was only 3 months old. I not saying it excuses her for what she did, but labeling her a monster off the hop is a tad aggressive. Shaking a baby or toddler is more common than people admit as well, and it doesn't take much for someone to get that little bit annoyed at crying if its dragged on for hours on end.
Last this report wasn't exactly very detailed, and I hope the reports on the actual trail *even tho she pleaded guilty they will still want to lay out the evidence hear why*; are more detailed to give us an understanding before we so prematurely judge the situation. Shame on her for killing her child, that's something she has to look at every time she see's a mirror; shame on those who judge without knowing all the facts, last time I checked we aren't god, nor are we nearly as innocent.

It's not specifically this article, it's a cultural degeneration in general, take a look at this google search, what kind of genius makes a child smoke pot? did you smoke pot at 12 months, 18 months, 2,3,5 and 13 years of age? i would certainly think not. so why would a culture specifically support such acts? a forward culture would not, but this backwards culture seems to promote it.
cannabis is a gateway drug, there is no way to side step the truth, the sooner people realize what exactly they are doing the sooner we can more forward as a culture and as a nation.
the same thing goes for alcohol and sex, need i explain the effects that has on culture as well?

I am not denying that, this was simply the first i have heard of this story, and obviously i was not alone. I am sorry for jumping the gun a little to quickly, but she does get what she deserves and that's the truth. it's a horrible story, and i simply reacted as i naturally would.

your right, where not .. but that doesn't mean we cant watch each others backs whenever we feel something is amiss, i wish her neighbor would have checked up on her health status to be on the safe side, but that isn't an easy thing to do, we just need to keep an eye on those we know for anything that may or may not be different in the usual relationship we have with them.

Hi I'd like to welcome you to the internet. Contrary to popular belief the internet is not part of the united states and not everyone shares your inane morality, "culture", and nationality. The sooner you (and others like you) realise this and remove your heads from your asses the sooner we can move forward as a species.

welcome to the internet, where sarcasm isn't always marked with irc switches.
.. It has been fun, but I have not gotten much sleep in the last 24 hours so I am off. I will reply to your reply when it is most convenient :P

Now you see there is where I can argue a bit. All I was point out was cannabis isn't a gateway to cause violence. Oh sure drug lords can be violent if they don't get paid. Sure Cannabis is an escape from the reality of one's stress and is not any more healthy than alcohol or sex for that matter. But in no way shape or form can it cause anyone to be violent, quite the opposite in fact. That's all I saying. Does it make society better? Well first off I never claimed it did, so no need to defend or argue it. My point was strictly name me one case where a person got high of cannabis than killed someone, let alone get violent *which is possible, but not as likely* unless it was laced with some higher more dangerous form of contraband.
Otherwise WW3, I recognize intelligence where I see it, and I can agree with all other of your arguments presented to me.
