MILWAUKEE -- A Milwaukee mother was sent to jail Thursday for the death of her 2-month-old son in a tug o' war over the infant with the child's father.
Annette O'Neal was sentenced to serve eight months in the Milwaukee County House of Correction with release privileges for employment and school.
She and the baby's father, Brandon Davis, were fighting over where the baby was going to sleep.
There was an apparent tug o' war when the baby hit the wall and died.
O'Neal has been ordered to have no contact with Davis and must take parenting classes. She was also sentenced to five years on probation.
The baby's father is scheduled to be sentenced March 18.
Why parenting classes? why not sterlization
The life of a baby has been minimized by the "right to choose" mentality. Two months old, why that's not far from the time the little guy's life could have been taken by a partial birth abortion. When life is cheapened by allowing such legal murder then "appropiate" justice is cheapened also.
Yes I heard about it. It was awful.
It sounds like the mother is being let off very easily --- she's not even being kept in jail for murdering her baby. And parenting classes? That's absurd.
