[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 247821, member: 6479"] For those of you saying she should be forcibly sterilized, do you believe your own children should have the same done? Not trying to start an argument---more intellectually curious, but MANY of our difficult children have done the same (perhaps not to such an extreme!! ;)), or worse (crime, abuse, murder, etc) to other people. Should our difficult children be exposed to the possibility of sterilization for their bad choices (probably due to their mental illnesses)? I guess I just see this as another example of GFGness allowed to run rampant. But instead of stealing, or drugs, she's child-focused to get her attention and "love". I believe this woman has some serious mental illness issues that have apparently never been addressed with- any success. And it doesn't look like anyone ever did an intervention with her, instead, she's been enabled all the way. But for me, just because the expression of her illness is multiple children, I don't see why she should be sterilized any more than one of our difficult children should have, I dunno, their hands cut off for stealing. Or lobotomized for doing drugs. Or maimed because they hurt someone in a car accident. Our culture just doesn't work that way. Put the kids up for adoption, as she is absolutely unable to care for them. I'm sure they'd all end up in decent homes, with all the publicity they've been given. But I don't think I'd punish this woman too harshly, personally. I feel for her. She's been allowed to wallow in her illness, whatever it may be. She's probably a lost cause by now, and that's just a horrific thought. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
