- You people need to actually read the story. This woman beat her child nearly to death. When the grandmother rushed her to the hospital, the child was at deaths door, and luckily survived. She beat her child into a coma and left her to die. That is why she got 99 years.

- I want to adopt Jocelyn! SO BADLY--and being an experienced counselor I think it would be beneficial for her.

- Just like glued hands is a harsh penalty for potty training, 99 years in jail is a harsh penalty for glued hands. The courts aren't achieving anything profitable for society with this sentence. A 30 year sentence would make more sense.

- Here is a person with 5 kids and obviously should not be a mother. But there is more here than written or seen in the news. And I have to ask, "Where were the "Children Services" people who look in and watch single mothers?"
I do think it sad, a person with psychological problems who was subjected to child abuse themselves previous to this despicable incident for which they have to take full responsibility.
99 years is harsh! I wonder if the judge would have carried out the same 99 year sentence to someone with a different social background with similar punishment circumstances? Just a thought! - Reply to this comment
- Who is the father of her 5 kids? Probably more than 1 dad involved in the creation of the kids but seems none of them are around to help raise them. Lucky taxpayers get to do that instead. Good thing she got sentenced to 99 years - at least she won't pop out any more kids for us to pay for.

- This woman did not get pregnant by herself. Where is the father of this child? Where was he when this happened?

- This story is a prime example of why birth control should be included as free coverage on all insurance programs. Unfortunately, GOP presidential hopeful does not realize there are some parents that do not do children well. This woman appears to be one of them. It is too disturbing to think she is denial about her atrocious parenting style.

- Americans! Look at this face of Evil - the eyes and the tattoo on her neck tell everything about this evil person.
I am disappointed that CBS doesn't show the face of the 2 year old innocent victim Jocelyn. In this case, the criminal is her own biological mother.
Every day, around the World, helpless children are being abused by their parents. These children are not asked to be born and to be abused by their adult parents. - Reply to this comment
