    LOL @ yall acting like this is normal behavior for mothers. I feel really sorry for the way you grew up if you think that a mentally stable person behaves this way. No wonder some of you ? have issues. if you think a sane person would do this type of ? your mothers must have been horrible.

    i really think some of you nigs just like to nig just for the sake of nigging

    i think ya'll really underestimate the effects of mental illness

    i know we all like to joke from time to time, but ya'll are judging a person based on what you (who is probably a lot better off mentally) would do in that situation

    If you've ever done any kinda counseling or outreach to folks in distress or from impoverished areas, you'll see quickly that they dont think as rational as you would like them to

    Unpopular opinion but yes there should be sterilization for some people
    Eh.

    Depends, if it's voluntary or forced.
    If whomever's the guardian of said individual requests it and consults with physicians about it, I'm for it since it was a choice made voluntarily.

    However, compulsory sterilization (that's not sanctioned due to an unequivocal medical emergency) is something that is problematic and leads down a slippery slope.

    Especially with the US government's well-documented, sinister history of forced-sterilization and eugenics rooted in racism.

    That woman might be mentally ill but my sympathies lie with those innocent kids she keeps producing.

    How?

    Cuz she's clearly not mentally ill. She's just an idiot with no morals or empathy. I know it firsthand. Not going into detail about why I do.

    What is mental illness? Are we judging it from things that you think are wrong?

    If so is Cosby mentally ill? Are gangbangers mentally ill or do they just not give a ? like said woman in the story?

    This topic has been heavily debated in classes for me. On one hand yes I understand the slippery slopes with rights and all of that but what of the children being born into these situations and worse?

    I am not saying strap them down and force it but really some of this is ridiculous. I mean you have people who want to have children so badly but our regulations make it costly and very hard to get through the red tape. I happened to be talking about that with another female (white woman) and she is unable to have kids. IVF runs well into the thousands and she said the adoption process is rigorous. If not sterilization something needs to be done effectively to those like the story in the OP.

    I believe some voluntary programs have been done with drug addicts. But again ethical issues arise.

    If the allegations against Bill Cosby are true, then yes, something is mentally wrong with him.

    No doubt. I understand where you're coming from @MissK . It's essentially just a matter of how much one actually trusts the government to not abuse invasive paternalistic legislation.

    crime=/=mental illness

    Just because one commits a crime or an act deemed incongruent with the norms of any given society doesn't necessarily mean they're mentally ill.

    That dangerous line of thinking is how white serial killers get off/avoid harsher sentencing for committing crimes and/or acts of terroristic racism. Especially when you compare their sentences to black murderers (and even black non-murderers).

    Did your mother used to punch you in the head and say she was going to chop you up and eat you? What qualifies as mentally ill to you? Of course, no one here can clinically diagnose this woman, but she is showing signs of mental illness. A person who lacks empathy completely is called a sociopath. That is a clinical diagnosis.

    The fact that they get lesser sentences doesn't change the fact that they are mentally ill. That issue lies in our racist justice system.

    It is not normal to commit heinous crimes. There is something wrong in their head, black, white, whatever.

    lol at the women here trying to use the insanity defense but i am not surprised women hate taking full responsibility for their actions and current society only encourages women not to.

    just because someone is cruel and irresponsible it does not follow that they are crazy. MANY MANY MANY SANE people have done horrible things

    I'm glad y'all got jokes..this woman clearly has emotional and mental issues. Y'all have no idea what her history and upbringing entails..this ? is sad, but we all quick to judge.


    Basic algebra.




    If A x 2=4 and B x 2=4....then A x 2=B x 2......and 4=4.


    As a result, A x 2/2 = B x 2/2


    2/2=1


    A x 1=B x 1


    and A=B





    Therefore, if @Kat logic=Bird logic..........then Kat x logic=Bird x logic


    Kat x logic/logic = Bird x logic/logic


    logic/logic=1


    Kat x 1=Bird x 1


    and Kat=Bird




    Therefore, the principles of basic algebra have proven that Kat is a Bird.

    Apparently.

    According to some here, normality is synonymous with mental stability. Lol just read the last poster who responded to me or Westie's premature armchair psychoanalysis.

    As if there are no deplorable, mentally sane human beings that should accept responsibility for their actions on this planet.

    Absolutely not. Her behavior is indicative of someone who is mentally ill.

    "A mental illness is a condition that impacts a person's thinking, feeling or mood and may affect his or her ability to relate to others and function on a daily basis."

    Do you think her behavior is one of a clear thinking person? To put having sex above her child's well being? To continue to get pregnant 6 times and leave them alone, threaten them, physically harm them? We're saying she lacks empathy correct? There's a problem. Does it excuse what she did? No.
