I support this jail sentence 100%

I'm all for free speech, I'm also all for justice that girl...

This is going to backfire 1984 style and the death of liberty will be met with thunderous applause.

What you have to understand is a Childs brain is not fully developed until age 25, they don?t have all the facilities of your brain that we do. I think most people can agree that if a parent told a 7 year old to go stand in the middle of the street and the kid gets hit by a car, the parent is to blame. Why? The parent didn?t touch the kid or even physically murder them, so they should get off scot free, like this lady right? A child at 14 is not much different; they are going through emotional changes, trying to find their identities, and going through puberty. This 40 year old lady was intent on hurting this child, and she got what she wanted, the girl died. Why should she not be held responsible for her actions? Yes, there?s others issues at play and maybe she is not 100% responsible, but even if she got the 2 years in prison it would have given her it would show people that they can?t abuse children and get away with it.
