[Scotswife]

if I were the judge - I would award the little girl a boatload of money for her medical expenses, plus punitive damages.
I would have removed the girl from this mother’s care and appointed a guardian to investigate the best home to place her in.

It is possible, I suppose, that the mother is sorry, and is a fine mother. (I only read the article posted on FR, so I don't know all the details.) But I do agree - the girl is the victim moreso then the mother. The money should definitely go to the girl. However, that isn't likely to happen since she's not the one suing.
