I don’t know. I don’t believe in rehab for sex offenders or serial killers, and I have no forgiveness on child killers no matter circumstances.

However … yes, the mother did do that. And that was a choice I’m sure she regrets. I can’t imagine what she lives with every day.

Thanks for stopping by:)

What truly confuses me, and I hope I’m reading things wrong, but the mother left her two year old outside of a store and went in? This in mind boggling. My daughter is two and I can’t hardly stand to take her in a store and have her either not in my arms or holding my hand. I can’t even fathom leaving her outside. I feel horrible for her and can’t begin to imagine the pain she’s likely still going through, but I think what she did was criminal.

It’s so nice to know someone else feels this way. 😉

I agree Stacy, and i’m glad you write about these things. That new mom’s like me have a hard time reading it is just proof that you’re doing a great job. 🙂

It was really hard to write as well, but I think it’s important for people to be aware that evil and cruelty comes in all shapes and sizes.

Thanks, Jenny.

Yes, it’s really bad. Frankly, older kids scare me just as much as adults. They’re so cruel, and their home lives have such an impact on their actions. We can’t control that and we can’t protect our kids.

Thanks for stopping by.

I remembered it too, but I was sixteen and didn’t pay as much attention to the news as I do now. I completely agree – something was internally wrong then and it’s not fixable. The fact that one is still roaming the streets with a new identity paid for by the taxpayers is mind boggling. Mary Bell is the same damned way. How is that fair to the rest of society?

Me, too. I usually try to be diplomatic, but the whole thing is sickening. Thanks for stopping by.
