This is the worst of the worst! A mother hurting her own child...., you can line her up with all the sex offenders, drug dealers, and murderers and save us the money and time and be done with them.

1-2 years... are you kidding me??? Let me get this right, child is fussy,... parent is an !profanity!,... parent abuses and scars child for life because she doesn't want to deal with child like an adult,.. parent gets 2 year VACATION in county jail,.... our society is weak and grossly unregulated! Had there been harsher punishments for something so sick as to hurt a child on purpose then maybe this mother would have thought twice. There is an alarming growth of crimes against our children and we have not done anything to change these punishments..... it's not just this mother's fault.... it's our fault also..... 2 years..... that's nothing! She will reestablish her city life just as before in 1 month upon her release all the while her son will still be going through skin therapy for years to come. This whole thing makes me sick...... what more can a person say?

I don't buy it for 2 seconds! I've got one of those 'deadbeat' dads...picked a real winner for my daughter!! I'm owed over 60K in child support....but regardless..or maybe even IN SPITE of that, I'm a home owner, manager, and good MOM that doesn't get any assistance other than CHIPS for my kid. I recieved $420 in food stamps when I lost my job...for ONE MONTH of food for 2 people? I never got on welfare b/c I was employed again before my appointment date. I don't agree with welfare and their practices - who needs $420 in food for a family of 2 in one month? I spend about $200-$250 a month - that's tax money that could go to something else. I'll get off my soap box...but my point is...there is no reason that people need to sit on welfare for years at a time and just rack up babies and checks! Do something for yourself....you'll feel a whole lot better about yourself in the process! Idk, maybe i was just brought up 'old school'.

i think she should in jail and rot, while there they should take her into the shower once a week and sit her in scolding hot water. how dare she harm her own child. i don't understand how people can hurt innocent children. i agree she should have her uterus ripped out so she can't produce again. i really hope she never gets her kid back again.

Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. I will repay.

I agree! I'm also a single mom with one of those fathers for my child. I have always worked to take care of her. I only went for child support when I had to in order to get subsidized daycare for my child. I was awarded a whole $6.28 every other week and he couldn't even pay that (and no that decimal point is not in the wrong spot!!). I had her on CHIP for awhile but not anymore. I've never been on food stamps (and hope I never lose my job and have to use them until finding something new) and 4 years ago I was able to become a homeowner. I get irritated when I see women sitting around popping out babies left and right to different fathers and being content to wait for a welfare check to take care them. Get up and get a job and show some pride in yourself! What are you teaching your kids?!?
