how could they possibly let this woman out of jail, with NO BAIL on top of it. what is wrong with the law. and she will get a slap on the wrist? come one

Are the laws in this area so lax, are authorities so uncaring, that even though rumors apparently circulated for YEARS about this woman that no one really bothered to investigate? And they LET HER LOOSE? Can anyone say "flight risk"???? What about the obvious child abuse issues of the kids in her house witnessing and being allegedly forced to abuse the animals too? I can think of a lot of long-term mental and emotional carryover of such secondary abuse - I don't see anything in the media reports that the kids are being checked out. But my first concern is the animals. It is very hard to think about how long this has been going on with this clearly unrepentantly evil woman and how it seems to have taken an awfully long time to get some kind of attention brought to it and from her son of all people, just think of what he must have gone through and what is going to happen to him down the road from HER.

I wonder if the authorities really care. If there isn't a TV camera around I bet they quit doing anything about this - onto the next story "if it bleeds it leads."

this lady is absoultly out of control..put her in a mental ward.I cant beleive she duck taped a cat to her kids bed.FREAK.She should go to jail for a long long time.

Thankfully, the remaining animals were rescued and this sick skank has now had all her children taken away from her, maybe they should pair her up with the woman who stabbed her husband to death - so they can "play" with each other!

all of you, what can we do? what? this has to end. lets do something, enough is enough

[MBK]

where are the animals that were rescued? will they make it? i would so want to adopt one of the dog's & give it a good home.where can i find out the condition of the animals that were rescued?

What about child abuse charges at the allegations that she was forcing her children to help torture the animals? This is what makes me sick to death of our legal system. Someone like this will get out bail free, get off easy or get out on parole for heinousness acts...yet I ride an ATV on some land that is going to be knocked down for housing/industrial buildings ect... anyway and the police stop me and treat me like im the reason for the downfall of society lol Wont go lenient on me, no way! People get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for the most harmless of things, then stuff like this happens and all too often the punishment is downplayed.

ii agree, so what can we do? something is so wrong with the system. this woman needs to learn a lesson.
who can we write to complain, or change the law?
