      I think it’s the time they need the children to help them out of some trouble. And Judge Middleton is very kind….maybe a little too kind in some instances. It’s almost funny when he talks about someone who has missed several court dates then says “at least you’re here now”. Even when they lie to his face still no consequences or very little. And he always is more concerned about a defendant’s home or their children than the person does. I get he’s concerned about the kids but I’ve seen so many of the same ones return and return. Also seems like it’s such a small town and he knows just about everyone so he feels bad about any punishment. This courtroom appears to be unlike any other….everyone can talk and judge talks about how well or how long he’s known you or your family. And the prosecutor Mr. George either reduces and/or dismisses the charges. I understand small towns…spent many years in one but the courts are not like this one. And I think I heard him say on one case that he had sat down with the prosecutor and they agreed to either dismiss charges and plea to almost nothing. The victims don’t seem to get much justice at times….or perhaps I’m too hard-hearted.

That was the last time she ever had unsupervised contact with them. My brother eventually divorced her. That was just one of many things she'd stolen. She even stole her own mom's pain meds.

      Come Monday the sports people complained that nobody was there to cover the event and thru cameras they caught the guy. Charged him with theft of property and theft of time. Fired him on the spot.
      At his grievance hearing with the board of ED members he used the I have kids please give me a second chance plea. They told him he should have thought of his kids before he did all of that. They denied his reinstatement.

      The problem being, Val, the US has thirteen per cent of it's total population incarcerated - & it is your taxes that contribute to that imprisonment, so, in effect, Middleton is (in part) diverting your moneys to other more significant causes; he is also reducing the risk to many offenders becoming institutionalised - & that is key. On the whole, I'd agree with your sentiments, but it's been proven, time & again to fail...Personally, I'd put these youngsters on a chain gang, mending roads or breaking rocks in a quarry - something productive yet harsh - they'd be so tired at the end of each day, they wouldn't have time for larceny, or indeed any other form of criminal activity...

      Did I miss the part where it said she was sitting at home lazy and unemployed? Because the judge quite clearly said since she was working for Walmart, Walmart reimbursed the theft victim. So she's unemployed by also working at Walmart?

    It matters that she has children. Not out of sympathy, but because they'd end up in the State's care while she serves time. CPS isn't your nanny while you're in jail.
    ...
    Of course, it's much more complicated than that. There are complex arguments to be had over what should be done with the children of offenders, especially serial offenders. However, if she doesn't have friends or family who are willing and able to take care of them for her, then her criminality would essentially get her free childcare from the State.
    Even if they fined her the costs, there's substantial risk, as a serial offender, that she'd never fully pay back the taxpayer. That, or she may choose increased criminality over raising her kids, knowing that they'd be taken care of. She could even come to enjoy being released from her parental responsibilities, regardless of the cost. That'd eventually result in termination of her parental rights.
    If her parental rights were terminated, then her children's care would fall on the State. If they're more than a few years old or have challenging issues, then they'd probably never get adopted. The Foster Care system is expensive and isn't exactly known for preventing criminality.
    Whether it's better to force her to provide and care for her children than to incarcerate her is, again, highly debatable. However, there are so many factors at play that it's probably the most practically favorable option for minimizing taxpayer costs.
    She should have to face the consequences of her choices, yes, but when the costs of imposing those consequences would cause more cost to society than they would prevent, then the calculus changes. There's no good solution, just a least-bad solution.

    Judge Middleton gave her way more leniency than she deserved, probation is mostly about just behaving yourself and he's letting her figure out daycare so she can gradually serve her sentence on weekends. That means she can work a job during the week to figure out the restitution and other fees. Hopefully she sees the opportunity for what it is.
