Last night on the news there was a story about two sisters whose mother is in prison right now due to an awful thing she did years ago. She was up on parole and the girls, now adults, are having a conflict about weather she should be paroled.
One things she is a monster and she should spend her life in prison. The other thinks she has changed and should be paroled.
What is this awful thing she did? She turned her oven onto broil, took the racks out, put her 14 month old daughter into the oven, and closed the door. She tried to bake-kill her baby daughter while he 8 year old daughter stood there watching.
Fortunately, the father heard the babies scream and ran and got her out of the oven.
This little girl has had over 40 surgeries during her life to try to repair the burns that occurred from this. Not surprisingly as an adult she thinks her mother is a monster.
I can not understand the actions of this mother. The girl has been left with horrendous scarring on her body. Not to mention the psychological fall out this caused.
By the way, the mother was not paroled. The time she is up for parole will be 2021. Hopefully the result will be the same.

She belongs in a mental institution for the rest of her life.

I believe she needs to stay in prison until she passes. That baby was helpless, she couldn't run from her mom to be safe. And to do that in front of another child. I hope that they both have received help from the trauma they endured. Do the girls have a good relationship with one another even though they differ on what punishment their mom is getting? Have a blessed day

The daughter that saw it happen said that she is behind her mother 100%. She believes that she was having a moment of distress. They didn't mention if she or the mother have had any help but it sounds to me as though the daughter doesn't blame the mother. I could be wrong about them getting help though. The girls are not speaking to one another.

@HazySue That is sad that this tore the sisters apart. Every parent has a "moment of distress" at one point or another. That's when you take a walk away from everyone to clear your head. The father was there, he got the baby out of the stove. All she had to do was tell him she needed a few minutes alone and go. Harm no one.

i feel very sorry for the 2 girls. she doesn't deserve to be called a mother after doing such an horrific act upon her own daughter.

I don't understand why the other daughter would want her paroled @HazySue ; that's just nuts.

The same thought is eating me too, Nanette. Either the other daughter loves her mother blindly, because as an 8-year-old when she had to witness this horror, it would have been too much to understand her mother's "moment of distress"......or I think out of jealousy she tried to murder her younger sister herself, while her mother took the blame in front of the world to protect her daughter, and this act of her mother's may make her guilty so she wants the mother's freedom! I dunno, just guessing!

I think it depends on her mental state at the time. If she was mentally ill and she is better now I think she should be paroled. But if she's not better, then she shouldn't.

Wow so very sad for that young girl to know that her mother did such I thing. There was definitely illness. She should never see the light of day again.
