Thanks to listener Stephen Lyman.
I almost cried when I read this story. A women and her boyfriend/husband/partner etc should have to go through psychological tests before they are allowed to have a child. Some may say that goes against one’s individual rights and freedom, but what about that defenseless child’s rights and well being. The mental health laws in this country need to be changed. We have to be allowed to forcibly lock up lunatics like this before this shit happens! So goddamn disturbing.
Read it again. The story occurred in England, not the US.
I should have said when I glanced at this story, not ‘read’ it, because that was all I needed to make me sick to my stomach.
I have no doubt she’ll get a taste of her own medicine in jail.
Don’t hold your breath on that one. The UK is governed by the EU. Human rights and all that.
