...ng her daughter. It also stated to me that not looking after a child in this case and letting the boyfriend doing whatever to the child is consider neglect homicide and voluntary manslaughter.
In my conclusion, I think the boyfriend should not get 25 years to life in prison, but a death penalty, I can understand that a person killing another person that is also an adult like yourself, but this is a child, a three years old little girl that knows nothing, unable to live her full life. The boyfriend did not show any remorse, the mother cried, but also considering of her neglecting her own daughter too. Krueger and the boyfriend went too far for what they had committed, there shouldn’t be any pity, so in conclusion by what the mother and boyfriend had done, to have a voluntary manslaughter, neglect homicide, and without shown any remorse for this crime, death penalty.
No matter what age an individual is, society automatically deems a person to be an adult once they have a child. Unfortunately, Renee dealt with a lot of isolation, neglect, lack of emotional, physical, psychological support that would have helped her successfully transition into a new chapter in her life. Renee was treated like an independent and competent adult when in reality, she was in serious need of many support systems to educate and support her. As a social worker, Angie Martin’s actions within her practice created an ethical dilemma when she failed to maintain the best interest of her client, Jordan. Angie was expected to fulfill her role as a social worker by playing a vital role in coaching and educating Renee on how to care for Jordan. If there were frequent scheduled appointment in place, there would be enough evidence from Angie’s file on Jordan and Renee alone to decipher who should have been responsible for the death of Jordan. Frequent visits to the young mother and her child would have given Angie the opportunity to provide the courts with enough documentation to understand the case thoroughly to make a conviction, in needed, without dropping charges and dismissing the

The sympathy of the government for mothers such as Khaila, trying to recover their parental rights has worn thin. Child abandonment is a serious offense and the children that suffer from such neglect face many psychological problems; if they are ever able to survive their circumstances. The abandonment and neglect of a child can result in serious criminal charges. One striking example is the case of seven month old Daniel Scott (Should We Take Away Their Kids?). Baby Daniel had been left for hours unattended and died of in a pool of his own blood. His mother, a crack addict left him in the care of his father to go on a six day crack binge. His father in turn, left him in his crib leaving the door of their Bronx tenement unlocked for any danger to afflict his unprotected son (Should We Take Away Their Kids?). The parents were later charged with manslaughter by negligence.
