Put her on trial for negligence. IMHO, leaving those children unattended for that length of time qualifies as negligence. Still, what good comes from criminal punishment? Is she a threat to society? Does someone need retribution? Is rehabilitation required? Does anyone actually believe that it would have some deterrent value? Still, that being said, there's a part of me that wants her to pay for what she did. I don't know what I want out of this. I just want it to have not happened in the first place.

If she was imprisoned, at least it would prevent her from breeding again, and having MORE offspring to treat with such negligence!
