Why it is important? This is incredibly important to
families and our society because it shows how careful we have to be. It creates
awareness that children should never go through this type of neglect or abuse
and helps show justice for these individuals.
As I first started to read this article I sympathized with
the mother and thought that the sentencing was very harsh after she suffered
the loss of her children. As I continued to read, I began to feel even worse
knowing that this woman was brought up from a terrible situation. Living in
foster care because her mother was a neglectful, terrible caregiver is a sad
and unfortunate upbringing. After learning that this woman had been charged
numerous times for neglecting these children’s basic needs I changed my view on
the sentencing. I believe it was a much needed punishment to teach this mother
that the health and safety of her children should take a much bigger role. I do
not believe that she was doing the best she can and was horrified to learn that
her children were living in such filthy conditions. Although it is a terrible
punishment to lose your children, in my opinion she was given many chances to
clean up her act but failed to do so. From her lack of childcare she cost the
lives of three innocent children that will never get to live a long fulfilled life.
Hopefully jail will give her time to reflect on her actions and teach her how
to correctly care for her remaining child. When she leaves the jail she will
then be given the opportunity to build a better relationship with this child. I
do feel for her and her family though and wish that people would understand how
they are affecting the lives of these children. If she was unable to provide
correctly for them then I do not feel that she should continue to have kids.
