Answer:

this is a hard on seeing as how the mother has below average IQ scores I think you should decline the plea and put the kid in foster care but have the mom doing some sort of therapy while away and when she is released spend quality supervised time watching her and the kid and if she makes horrible mistakes as before then she should not be allowed to keep the child. despite wanting to please the child we are adults and have to do what is right for the child
