The system

I know how you feel about the system giving into the criminals. I was reading the news online today, and I seen this lady (I believe it was in Ohio, but don't hold me to that) This low life was drugging her three young children. She was putting drugs in their food. So when they got sick, the moron took them to the hospital. They ended up searching her home and found the drugs that she was giving to the kids right on the kitchen table. So after I read this part I just wanted to find this women and strangle her myself. ( I'm not serious, it's just an expression) So then at the end of the article, it said that the family told the press that "She was battling depression" and guess who will get off for everything, if they use that?? Can you believe that. Unreal, where is the justice in that crap. For example, someone can murder someone else..especially children, and if they plead insanity they get a lesser sentence or get off entirely! I was so angry by that, I just wanted to rip my hair out. That is all a crock of you know what. Speaking of depression, I am a very good example of someone who has deep depression. I was molested by my father and I just had a really hard childhood. The depression just kept building through the years. I don't want sympathy about that. I say that because of what I'm about to say next. I know people deal with things differently. But I went through all of that. (which was very bad) and I think I made it through great. I have three girls and I know what kinds of things to look out for, and I know that I could never in my life hurt them the way some mothers who claim to have "depression" do. They just play the "insanity" card and everything is fine. They get a small slap on the wrist for it. Unbelievable! Those women know exactly what they are doing. If they wanted to get rid of their kids, why didn't the give them up for adoption or get an abortion..which I'm against. But at least they wouldn't have to suffer such a terrible death. I can really understand what you are saying about that. The system just sucks plain and simple!
