i cannot believe this. The coke fiens got off with probation. This is bad. Very BAD....

They should have received at the least 18 months.... They killed an innocent baby... I think this is not right.

I can't believe they are only getting probation. It just amazes me how the legal system is run. A baby died due to gross negligence on this mother's part. A death occurred! It seems the greater the crime, the lesser the punishment. At tie her tubes so she doesn't have any more children.
what the hell

She should have jail time and sterilization. People like that don't deserve to have kids.

They must have used Accelerated Rehabilitation, for first time offenders. Howver, I think it should have been waived in this case, and the 2 of them should have gotten at the very least some kind of prison time for negligent homicide. Or something. YMMV

she's a MOTHER. That, in our culture, means there is some kind of halo around her. She will be given the benefit of the doubt at every turn, and after all, it was a baby boy she killed.
By contrast, if a father had killed a baby girl, they would be considering the death penalty.
I'm really referring to the original crime, not the violation of probation. She was given her kids back after she served a very light sentence.

I guess if you are only 7 months old, your life has little or no value in Connecticut.
Right Judge ??

OMG! A baby dies and they basically got away with it. That's okay , when judgement day comes, both of them will be standing in front of the Almighty, one at a time and they will have to explain why they killed one of God's greatest creations. RIP little baby.

And this where my tax dollars go! It is disgusting that the system totally failed this child. This mother deserves jail time. I hope the judge who made this decision has many sleepless nights. May God forgive you!
