I'll bet that ALL children who are into drugs and crime have been hit at home a lot more than "good" kids.

I'll bet that ALL children who are into drugs and crime have been hit at home a lot more than "good" kids.

I'd take that bet, if there were solid science to decide who was right. There isn't. Courts and jurors are subjective, i.e., OJ is still playing golf.

If this mother deserved 5 years probation, that child (or any other child) should not be in her custody.
