We don't have rules in place to prevent people from becoming parents. Hastily acting to deny her that right could set a dangerous precedent. I don't know. I'm divided on the issue.

Quote:Amanda Hamm was convicted of child endangerment and served five years in prison for watching her boyfriend carry out a plot to drown her 6-year-old, 3-year-old and 23-month-old children in 2003 because they interfered with the couple's relationship and his sex-and-drugs lifestyle. He was convicted of first-degree murder and is serving a life sentence.
