I'm reading this as the "candy bar" excuse. With
relativism, there is no guilt. What rule of law?
There is an excuse for all of our bad behavior and
is is everything and anything accept what it is...
disobedience.
If she is so severely diabetic, why is she allowed
to foster parent?
I'm thinking this lady is just a mean old granny.
Hope I'm wrong.
Hopefully the rule of law will be invoked to it's most effective extent in this instance and the community will be protected and this Grandma will be forced to atone for her crimes. The mental health examination that she is undergoing will hopefully determine the extent of any medical difficulties that she is having. Child Protective Services is involved, and her fitness as a foster parent will be reevaluated.
There's no law against being mean (there would be no Democrat Party if that were the case) and so we can be thankful that a crime was committed, which allows legal proceedings to move forward.
I hope that I didn't imply a desire on my part to minimize her culpability in this matter; an insulin imbalance just as an alcohol or drug imbalance is no excuse for improper behaviors or improper vehicle operation. An insulin imbalance can, however, radically change the ways in which the brain works and I can understand how this could happen from a medical and physiological standpoint.. Of course, I don't excuse it, and she needs to be held fully accountable for her actions.
