Missouri foster mom accused of trading teen for monkey avoids prison

Comments

1. Leo: what kind of system lets someone out after trading a kid for an animal
2. Nina: unfortunately not shocked by this story. the revolving door of child welfare is just heartbreaking. how do we expect to fix it when sentences like this are handed down?
3. Vanta Nomad: unbelievable sentence for what she did sounds like some judge trying to save her rep
4. Hollow Sparrow: Seven years suspended? That's not justice for anyone involved
5. Zoe: she's not off the hook yet, she'll be doing community service somehow still feels too light considering
6. Lucaspark: traded a kid for a pet monkey? that's not parenting, that's just embarrassing
7. Adam: it's mind-boggling to me that the prosecutor was more concerned with Deutsch's character than actual consequences for the teenager
8. Velvet Halo: seriously Brenda Deutsch needs to find a new hobby beyond trading foster kids for exotic pets, though 7 years off isn't bad, judge seemed pretty lenient in this case
9. Iron Echo: so someone tried to trade a kid for a monkey and they're on probation? what's the odds that this judge is related to an animal welfare organization?
10. Novaellisxo: wow kinda ironic she got community service for being reprehensible 👎
11. Bruno: this is all so warped - a monkey trade instead of actual parenting? 🐒
12. Crimson Nomad: i'd love to know how they'll keep an eye on her while she's on probation
13. Diego: somehow leniency seems warranted but I'm really struggling to understand the judge's reasoning here
14. Mirage Talon: seriously though can't believe they let her off easy for that
15. Brarjune: at least the judge showed some mercy
16. Hex Reaper: sickening she got to trade her troubles for a monkey
17. Jonas: i'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole situation, how do people make decisions like this?
18. Noahmorenoxo: what kind of message does a suspended sentence send to victims like this teen?
19. Nora Rana: seriously trading a kid for a pet? I mean I know some people have weird pets but this takes it to a whole other level, kind of like when someone's got five
20. Cleo Brar: I'm surprised by how lenient that sentence is - wasn't she accused of some pretty serious abuse?
