ense of child neglect, and this time the child nearly starved to death. You have to option of accepting a plea bargain that would give her five years of probation and allow her to continue to raise her child. If you decline the plea bargain, she faces a minimum of three years imprisonment; the child will be taken into state care, and possibly placed in a foster home. The child, who is eight, does not want to be separated from his mother. The mother, who has an IQ of 81, seems remorseful that the child has been harmed and does not fully understand the charges against her.

b. Does the mother appear to possess the required mens rea? Does this matter regarding her sentence? Regarding the child’s welfare?

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
