16 years isn’t long enough.A life sentence wouldn’t be enough.
A question,was the charges of child neglect and child endangerment more severe and more punishable than child abuse?And why not all three.
When I think of that precious little fella drinking green alcohol thinking it was koolaide,I get the most amazing ideas of how I would like to reciprocate the victimizer.
Mom gets 16 years,the Son gets a life sentence of fear,and emotional damage,some will be irrepairable.
God’s Peace and God’s White Light of Protection for this little boy.
This is just another sotry of injustice brought by our legal system. Made to fail where the offenders have far more rights than the victim. This is a precious boy who will forever be in my prayers and heart.
