I assume you think your concern for this cretin makes you a paragon of virtue. It doesn’t. It makes you a coward and a narcissist, so spineless that you can’t bring yourself to condemn this woman’s hideous cruelty, and instead use it as an opportunity to big yourself up at this baby’s expense, virtue signal and demonstrate to others what a forgiving, sweet, empathetic person you are.
I’m with Isabella. I’m normally the first in many situations to say hang on a second, let’s not pile on, let’s have a think about what might have led to this and show some compassion. But this is absolutely, completely beyond that. Because this woman made a series of conscious choices that led to a four week old baby dying in the most awful circumstances. She chose to give birth, in a country where barely anyone has to have a pregnancy they don’t wish to continue with, she chose to keep the child, when even if she’d found out too late for a termination adoptions was an option. She chose to go clubbing a month after having her baby, and chose to take the baby with her instead of finding childcare. She chose to get blind drunk, she chose to throw her child around like a ball, she chose to take two random men back to the caravan where her innocent child sleeps, and to pass out without putting him in a safe place. If he’d needed her during the night she couldn’t have roused to care for him.
I’m sorry but I genuinely don’t think ‘feeling remorse’ for the rest of her life (which is speculation, sounds like she didn’t give a fuck) is payment enough for her actions. A two year sentence is out in one year with good behaviour. By next summer she’s out and free to live her life and do this all over again if she wishes to (unless SS feel they have justification to remove at birth, which they may not if she claims she’s changed).
This is just a series of incidence of horrific parental neglect. It’s become so fashionable to say ‘don’t judge’ we’re forgetting that some people do things that absolutely are worthy of our judgment. We judge paedophiles and sex offenders, that’s apparently fine to judge, but a mother killing her four week old baby? Why is that somehow something nobody should judge?
As for people saying ‘this poor woma was failed by society etc’ grow the fuck up. You don’t have a clue about her background or circumstances. Don’t invent a tragic backstory with failed calls for help when there’s no evidence of that to make yourself feel more virtuous.
