Dear David:


To say what happened to the two boys in Millet was beyond sick is an understatement. While being one of our fine agricultural communities, Millet like any other desolate & isolated area needs better protection for its children. Stepped up RCMP patrols at different intervals checking on the health of babies, kids & teenagers who are say suspended from school, or are being home schooled should be a top priority.


Why this nutbar of a woman didn't make one call to 911 or her local constabulary for help is beyond me. One call to 911 would have produced either officers of the law, an ambulance, or both. If she wants to try & harm herself fine, but why not put the totally vulnerable children into the care of the elder they were supposed to be with, their grandmother.


Clearly kids who are not in school are just as valuable an asset as kids who attend educational facility's. So why not treat them so? The key here is David that there needs to be a better support system in place. The father is not to blame, the grandmother seems to have deflected her agreed responsibility on the mother. If they knew the mother had a chemical imbalance (& they did otherwise why didn't she have custody of her kids) then they should have institutionalized her immediately in the University of Alberta or Royal Alexandra Hospital Psychiatric Wards. There she could roam around freely in her room or be restrained if needed. Safe from harming herself & others, medicated to calm her down.


Clearly this woman still needs compassion, why she couldn't perform the basic motherly biological imperative & protect her own kids from her harmful touch is beyond reason. I do not say that she does have or doesn't have diminished mental capacity. But I have nothing but vitriol & hate for her. Its times like this that the death penalty should still be an option. I mean 2.5 years & 10 months old? They will never get a chance at a great long life, which is really unfair because their murderer gets to keep hers. Save the kids, fight for their dignity. Fight for justice!


Arf,
