...though they thought they were just leaving a comment. As they say, read the whole thing.

who wrote the original piece wrote a follow up article...I don't have the link sorry...but a couple of things.
1) The D.A. misrepresented the Cotton family by stating that Shaquanda Cotton's mother declined to abide by the rules of probation, thereby leaving Judge Superville with no recourse but to pass a sentence of 1-7 years. The Chicago Tribune's review of the COURT TRANSCRIPT revealed this to be false...that the family agreed to the probation rules and still a sentence of probation was not imposed.
ExodusMentality - Be Proud Yes, But It Shouldn't Be Over
Again I reiterate, in the most strenuous fashion, THIS SHOULD NOT BE OVER FOR US JUST YET. There is still some work to be done. Some hearts and minds need to be changed and some butts need to be kicked. Somebody needs to take responsibility to restoring this child to normalcy.
ubstu34 - I can't imagine having to
I can't imagine having to try and recover from this ordeal at such a tender age. Miss Cotton's road to recover will be long and harsh. Merely releasing her will not be enough. The time she has lost where she should have been in school needs to be addressed. The state should pay in some way to get her back on track.
