Fuck the idiots saying "her child dying was payment enough".
Fuck you too, brah.
Nobody around here is as harsh as I am on bad parenting... Remember, I'm the guy who suggested it should be mandatory for Teen Parents and their unborn child to be
put to death.
But at the same time, prison is never the answer. Why create a hardened criminal out of this woman at the taxpayers' expense?
She's just a dumbass, and in a perfect world we'd have put her down before the child was even born. Doing what you say would only cost taxpayer dollars to make the situation worse than it is now.

I doubt the UK system would have treated her any differently, tbh. Definitely several years in prison. Maybe slightly less time than 10 years because our system's like that on all cases in general, but still a long time.
You're right, they wouldn't. Private corporations are well known for their ability to corrupt the British government too. -I find it interesting that you guys don't have a death sentence but put people away for many years on charges that wouldn't make anyone here mad much at all... It's a different system corrupted by the same source of evil.

apparently you think I had the usual WF attitude and was challenging your statement. Well, I wasn't.
Sorry Fiver, you're right. This is a pretty hostile thread and you got hit by 'friendly fire' there.

So let's try this again as I'm genuinely curious...how do private corporations in the security industry benefit from someone going to prison?
It's an evolved business model that is catching on like wildfire across the Security sector... Likely in more countries than just the US & UK.
In a nutshell, we the taxpayers are paying an amount of money per prisoner that is being passed onto these private corporations that are cutting costs bigtime, and profiting from it.
So if they tell uncle sam it costs them $40k to store an inmate safely for 1 year, then uncle sam bills us $40k.
Then they only spend $30k for that prisoner, pocketing $10k as profit, and that times the 2.3 Million ppl in Jails (ok not all of them are privately-owned corps, but a lot are) would be $23 BILLION Dollars a year in profits.
Of course you know, that is a large enough amount of money for them to lobby the hell out of washington to make sure the laws keep bending more and more in their favor, such as keeping pot illegal and so forth. -They want the jails full, plain and simple.
There are many, many documentaries on this subject that show great examples of how prisons in the USA are basically just profit centers for a corrupt and evil industry. -Worse yet, they NEVER rehabilitate anyone, they just make criminals worse so they'll end up back in prison.
It all started soon after Reagan was elected here in the states, much like the documentary Century of the Self talked about in part 4.

Hate to say this, but I blame liberals for the collective shedding of parenting skills in our society.
Bullshit. You loved saying that you Beck worshipper.
If anything, liberals smother a child with too much attention while conservatives teach 'self reliance' like the mother here quoted. You're logic is so twisted it made me laugh out loud literally!
For instance, look at the kid on the right side of this chart:
