I think that the majority of us, fortunetly, don't realize that the low life characters shown in the movie really do exist. There really are "people" who are exactly like the scum shown.
To subject a child to that is beyond criminal.
Again, I am speaking of the situation shown only in the movie. Any other circumstance I would have to judge by its own merits or lack there of.
I do have some real life experience to draw on. Years ago a friend of a friend had a child. We'll call her Mom X.
Now, Mom X was into drugs. So into drugs that she accidentally left a vial of locker room, I think it was called, laying around her place.
Well, the little kid found it and swallowed it. Luckily, they realized what happened soon enough to get the kid to a hospital and save his life.
Imagine if they were too late. And the kid died. Because he was still allowed to be with his mom.
Mom X did a year or two at Sybil Brand and was then released. She went in weighing about 120 pounds. She came out weighing about 160-180 and was more harder and rougher than when she went in.
