30 days??
I am assuming she is serving those 30 days in a freezer.
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.
A shit reason. She needa to be thrown in an insane asylum for 30 years. See if that helps her psychologucal problem.
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?
I never said you shouldn’t provide mental health care. I just doubt she’d stop being a threat after a mere 30 days.
Because that’s what we should be doing with people who are mentally ill? Take a look at yourself.
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?
Maybe the judge mistakingly put days instead of years
And another mother got two years for giving her daughter abortion pills.
Don’t EVER let them tell you it’s to protect the children.
What are you driving at?
Who is the “them” in this scenario?
Under what circumstances was the mother protecting children or advocating protecting children?
her actions were done as a test to see if the child’s father “gave a f–k at all,”
Because she obviously doesn’t…
She was taking the biblical approach. The next step was probably to cut the kid in half.
What. The. Fuck.

Authorities said while the officer was taking McDonald to jail, she said that her actions were done as a test to see if the child’s father “gave a f–k at all,” adding she waterboarded her baby to try and make Neal come back to the apartment.
So she decided to extend the toxic relationship she has with her child’s father to their child. WTAF?! What an absolute piece of shit person.
I read the article hoping to see that she had lost all rights to the child. But nothing about that was mentioned. So she probably hasn’t lost any parental rights.
She’s not going to lose all rights that fast. My wife’s mom left her alone for days as a toddler drinking toilet water and allowed her to be abused by her johns (no idea if she sold her or was just too fucking high to put a stop to it) and it took years for her to lose all rights. Parents are given a lot of chances to get their shit together even when anyone else would look at them and know that wasn’t ever going to happen.
That’s why when I hear stories about people getting their kids taken away for playing alone in the back yard or walking up the street, I suspect there’s a lot more to those stories. That’s a huge amount of effort and they aren’t going to do that shit over something so minor. But of course the government is going to be all no comment about those things so we only ever hear the side saying how ridiculous it is. That’s right - it’s ridiculous. So why would you believe it went down that way?
I dunno. Kids get such a fucking raw deal. They have no choice who they’re born to and even lots of well intentioned parents fuck it up, to say nothing of people like this crazy fucking removed in the article.
That’s a great point. It does usually take a long time, doesn’t it. Hopefully the media attention will fast-track things in this case. But it probably won’t.
30 days seems too short.
Must be a typo, surely it’s years?
I honestly hate stories like this. What is the use of knowing this? Who does it benefit to hear this story and proliferate it?
So we can all go “wow what a monster” in the comments?
How many things happened today that actually will affect our lives instead?
I think it’s a cautionary tale against forcing women to have kids.
We need access to birth control, healthcare (including abortion), sex education, and quality education.
These horrible things cannot be hidden, just like war images shouldn’t be hidden. This is reality and we can’t turn a blind eye. We have to address real shit that happens in the real world to learn from it and get better. Or at least face the reality of the things we force people into.
I don’t think this has anything to do with “forcing women to have kids”.
I’m not saying it’s not a problem but it has no place here (IMO).
No. They have to push the idea that abortion is 100% required to have a functioning society.

Wait! You can see the evil in her eyes?
Where did you learn to do that?
I dont mean to be shitty. This woman has been found guilty of something absolutely heinous and deplorable, and she could easily be described as evil knowing that.
But you are saying that if you saw that picture out of context, that you could see evil in her eyes?
What if the headline was, woman falls in lake trying to film ducks. Would you be able to see the stupid in her eyes? Or would her fave still look evil?
I’ve seen streamers that play a game where you are given multiple mug shots, and you have to identify the criminal vs. the non criminal, and it’s amazing how often they/everyone in chat gets it wrong.
Sorry to paragraph vomit on you here, but i just hate when i see people say this in these situations. It’s just not true and a silly thing to say.
Downvote me if you want. I dont care. I just needed to vent.
Sorry.
Edit: agreed, making abortion illegal was absolutely bonkers.
I think seeing the evil in someone’s eyes can be more attributed to knowing they’ve done something evil like this. The original commenter may not have been saying it literally, more-so after they find out the actions the person has taken. Not everything is so literal. Idk though, I’m not OP.
I agree with you, it’s impossible and stupid to say you can see evil in her eyes.
What you can see it’s she being removed, with severe mental health issues that were never addressed because yeah American health care industry.
And also because her name, sharday!? Her mom was probably illiterate and homeschooled her.
Just some theories.
This is in Oregon where abortion is perfectly legal.
Oh damn
Yeah, but is it legal after the 63rd trimester?
Gods. I hope that child gets a better family.
Fortunately, being an infant, it still has a pretty good chance of that.
True. Poor kid will probably also have a life-long fear of drowning though, and won’t know why.
WOW, it really sucks that the government is just going to let her murder her child. That’s what’s going to happen. Kid will definitely be dead within the year because of gross negligence by the criminal justice system.
That’s awful…I’m going to go hug my 1 year old now
Why, is he very cold? Is that why you’re hugging him? Is it?
Booo
That’s no mother
Ever wake up and see something that makes you hate humanity before you’ve even gotten out of bed? Yeah, that was this for me.
Damn near every day.
They mean they’re going to stick her in a freezer for 30 days, right? Right?!
I hate this planet.
