Bermuda, only place in the world where murders get 15 years and drug smugglers 25+ years. Now a baby dies in someone’s care who left the child alone and drove town to pick up her own adult child and only gets a 9 month sentence. OMG Shame.

First off, my thoughts and prayers of comfort goes out to all involved, especially the parents and family of this baby. This truly ridiculous outcome to this unfortunate situation is another example pf how biased and unbalanced our justice system is. The police and justice system is designed to protect and serve. This is not hard to understand, maybe just hard to maintain. This irreplaceable, most priceless human life was stolen from him, his family and Bermuda as a whole. It can only be memories of what was and imaginations of what could have been. If leaving the house regardless of WHATEVER circumstances, (unless maybe the ambulance is there to pick you up) is not deemed to be the most negligent act a child caretaker can basically do without physically abusing them then I dont know what is. Human life is the most important thing to preserve in this life, but it seems like tHE justice system in our country is so inconsistent and unbalanced and more concerned on creating revenue and reprimanding the “petty” crimes like small amounts of drug possession. Every case is individual and deserve their own merit depwnding on circumstancesand so on. I’m sure my drift has been caught, and I would love to hear justifications for these decisions and judgements. Who holds the poilce and judgea accountable while they ride their high horses, and soar avove thw laws themselves. Its a blessed thing that most Bermudians have more bark than bite. In other places where the dogs bite, more these judges, police and politicians, let alone anybody else get held accountable. One way or another. And I qould much rather an easier way than a hard. Equal rights and justice for ALL. this lady should be serving time. I hope the sentwnce gets appealed over and over and goes to privy where she gets more time. I guess the saying,”Get away with murder” derived the isle of devils we have come to call home. I could keep babbling about this, I am so dissapointed yet again with our structure in such an important aspect of our wellbeing and survival. Dumb sHat!!! 1 Love, Free up de herbs and let d people meditate on the true meaning of life. LOVE

Two years ago I repeatedly reported a woman to the proper authority who was running an unregistered child care service at her home (and who also had more than the legal amount of children in her care). NOTHING was ever done – NOTHING!! And … she’s still doing it!

It is always a tradgedy when one loses a child. Very sad indeed. Glad justice was finally served.
On the other hand me as a parent of 8 there is noway I am leaving my child with a person that has that many kids and is the only person responsible for them. It is noway. That’s way too many kids for one person to have especially if they are all around that age. 0 – 4yrs.

Sad….If she was KNOWN to have more (at times) than the allotted 3 kids why wasn’t she reported than and shut down?…Why wait until something happens and then bring to light what she was doing?….makes no sense what so ever…..

what jacka** would let her off in the first place, seriously? was he related to her? if that was my child with this negligent, selfish, inconsiderate, wreckless, irresponsible woman.
that was a human life carelessly taken away before it got a chance, thanks to the STUPID RETARDED BRAINLESS IDIOTIC DIMWITTED decision made by this unproffessional twit. She never deserved to look after kids in the first place if this is what she ended up doing.

that woman is scum, you don’t put your selfish errands before a human innocent life, oh my God it is pathetic, but what can I say, I am not surprised….. i am disgusted that the judge couldn’t put her in jail and worse the first time.

but its bermuda, so you know aunty this or sis that or cousin this n bro that gets off for anything they do

like when that 14yr old thug boy knocked and assaulted an 85yr old woman and trhew her to the ground so hard she broke her spine, and she ended up dying from the injury, all so he could steal her purse. The judge let that boy off slap on the wrist, saying, “I sympathize for you young man, you grew up in a rough neighborhood.”

That is the assinine mindset of the judges in our country. Not to mention the worthless nature of some of our people and the vast majority of the useless youth coming up now in the generations now.

For the life of me I don’t know why this woman had to collect her adult child from work – leaving her own work to do so.

Between her and her adult child – one of them should have had the sense to say this is not okay.

My thoughts are with the parents of this baby often.
