[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think she is a disgrace as much as I think she is impaired.  Reading the profile of her in the post---with her own experiences as the child of a substance abuser, multiple foster families, acting out---she comes across as someone who suffers from the damage that prenatal substance abuse does, i.e., impulsiveness, no appreciation for consequences and lack of cause and effect thinking.  Homeless shelters and jails are full of individuals who make exceptionally poor life choices because they were---for all intents and purposes--brain damaged prior to birth.    Intensive interventions are needed so that people so damaged do not just produce a subsequent generation just like them.

I hope her children are not returned to her---not because she is evil---but because she needs some sort of oversight herself.  [/quote]

THIS.  At the end of the day even if she thought she was doing no harm, she made some awful awful choices and then covered them up (which, frankly, proves she knew she'd made a choice that others would have a problem with).  But impaired, suffering from her own PTSD, whatever the reason... she made poor choices that caused suffering and eventually killed her child.  And there was history of alleged abuse & neglect of one if her other kids too.  She should not get them back.  [/quote]
