Yeah, reading the article, I expected it to say that it was only 30 days, because they realized, she has psychological problems. Punishment doesn't usually help with that. But I also expected this article to say that the baby will be taken into custody by the state until therapy concedes. And there's just no mention of any of that.
Or we could, I don't know, maybe try to treat her? I would rather live in a world where we treated all mentally ill people, even dangerous ones, with compassion than one where we just lock them up and throw away the key. I personally think that we, as a society, have a moral responsibility to lift each other up, but even if you look at it from a selfish point of view, it still makes sense. For example, it's possible that someday, you might have a mental break, maybe due to a tragic event or brutal experience, and will need help and wouldn't you rather be treated kindly rather than being locked away and forgotten about?
And what will that actually achieve? Beyond costing a fuckload of money and satisfying those that get their dicks hard at the thought of human suffering?
