SHE WALKED FREE FROM COURT YESTERDAY ON A SUSPENDED SENTENCE. NOW FOR JUSTICE IN THIS CASE HER EX-PARTNER SHOULD BE LET WALK FREE FROM THESE CHARGES TOO. IT'S A 100% RESPONISBLITY ON A MOTHER TO CARE FOR HER CHILDREN PROPERLY. IF THIS WOMAN IS SO BAD HOW COME SHE IS LEFT TO CARE FOR HER YOUNGEST CHILD THAT SHE HAD WITH HER NEW PARTNER IN SEPTEMBER 2011.

NOTICE: No names printed and alcohol named as the evil culpret that made this poor innocent woman into vermin. Condemn the sin not the sinner. The irish have this way of dealing with criminality. The woman will get NO jail time, guarenteed.

I see nothing "difficult" about this case. So what if the mother is sober now? It doesn't change what she did to her children when they were younger. Alcoholics are the most selfish people on the face of the earth, caring only about their next drink. She should rot in prison.
