Any "human" that feels ok with locking their kid in a drawer is not fit for society. That's not like forgetting to feed your dog one time.

Regardless of whether she was too mentally deficient to understand what she was doing or she consciously tortured this child. It's highly unlikely that someone could put a child, their own child, through that nightmare and all of a sudden turn a new leaf. 7 years is far far far too light of a sentence, this "mother" is a danger to others.

And yet I just watched a video of a dude who stole like 3 or 4 vehicles and put up a 1.5 hr cop chase. He endangered lives and severely hurt an officer... That got him 160 YEARS... Yet shit like this to an innocent kid gets 7 years. Fuckin wild.

Baby versus cop. I mean that's just some baby that was hurt. We're talking about an Officer of the Law here.

Yet somehow she is raising other children apparently normally. I don't know how you can seemingly love one of your children and then do this to another.
