Daniel Stein:
Obviously a parent with mental health issues. The article states that she had been arrested on endangerment charges previously. It is sad that we live in a country without adequite services for those suffereing from mental illness. This is …the continuing legacy of Reagan. So incredibly sad to see a life lost for no reason, and likely another life ruined. I don’t see how the mother will ever recover well from her issues while this responsability hangs on her soul.
