That baby is ABSOLUTELY better off having its mother put away. When I first read the story I was thinking what a real blessing it was that this baby would be away from her for a couple of years, and closely supervised after that.
Then I was stunned to read a post expresssing sadness for the baby.
Spend an afternoon in the child psych ward in my hospital and tell me if you still feel the same.
If left unchecked, I can just imagine her baby doing the same thing twenty years from now.
(Hoperfully by then, they'll have space shuttle cruises. We'll all have to divert to Mars because her child is too homesick to go to Saturn with us.)
Yeah, the baby is gonna have it rough. But hopefully for a couple of years without a "disturbed" person controlling its life.
