The point isn't to teach her a lesson, it's to demonstrate to others what the consequences are for her kind of action, or inaction, as the case may be. If it prevents atrocities like this from happening again, the suffering isn't useless. Oh, and I definitely agree with you: get that kid a real mom. I just can't understand how those slackers at Child Welfare can harrass parents who are earnestly trying to do right by their kids, while gross neglect goes on for three weeks and they have no clue it's going on. The world is a disaster. We need a reboot and a fresh start. Several billion years of nuclear winter sounds like a good plan, right about now ... Of course, you’re probably right.

The world is a disaster. We need a reboot and a fresh start. Several billion years of nuclear winter sounds like a good plan, right about now …

I know what you mean, though. I don't really agree with "an eye for an eye", however. The idea may make people feel better, but it may not turn out such a good thing when everybody in the world is blind. And besides, I doubt that this woman would understand the lesson she was being taught, so what's the point in useless suffering? Just give the kid a real mom and get on with it, I say.
