Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

What's also a bit tragic about all of this is that she chose to have kids right before going to prison. So now her children have to essentially spend their formative years without their mother in their life, other than the prison phone calls and visitation.
Maybe there's a silver lining. There is a chance they'll grow into better people than she did
Bet someone told her that new moms receive a reduced prison sentence before she decided to take kids.
The timing combined with her weird sociopathic nature make it all but a certainty that her decision to have kids was entirely driven by the possibility of a reduced sentence.
I mean, I'd rather be alive than not. I would assume that applies to them as well.
She literally had them specifically to get pity and a shorter sentence. If they were never born, I don’t think they would be sad about not being alive.
In that case, they might be better off not being around her.
You’re not wrong, but they are still growing up without a mom. It’s sad.
If you weren't alive, you wouldn't know it.
Her children are going to know what a narcissist she is and how she was absent for their childhoods. They're also going to have the Internet to know exactly what she did, and they're going to be able to learn that their existence is only because she wanted leniency from the court. She didn't want kids; she wanted leverage.
I think I'd have been okay without all this.
She was a terrible boss, can't imagine she'll be a good mom.
What an odd take.
