Sure, that parent is failing that child. I'm not disputing that. It doesn't matter whether the parent has an intent or capability to do right by their child, only whether they are. In the end, the child is being failed, and I don't think for a second that the right call is to sit back and do nothing.
But jailing the parent is simply not going to make it any fucking better. It's like trying to fight a house fire with a flamethrower.
It is simply and solely because of this incredibly poor lack of reasoning and judgement that I don't have a positive opinion of her. If I had to say anything nice, I would say "she was able to identify a problem", but her solution was so astoundingly and obviously counter-productive I'm not inclined to have even a neutral opinion of her, much less a positive one.
