I take that on board InOne,as you generally make points that set me thinking however,I cannot remove from my mind that all the time she knew where Shannon was and her long path of deceit as it went on for longer and longer just extended Shannon's suffering and time imprisoned.

For that action alone,knowing full well she could have ended her own little daughter's suffering in an instant and the fact she did not or has never shown any remorse for that since either,then I would have thrown the book at her with an extremely long sentence.

Knowing my Parents and how they were with me when I was little, I will never be able to understand how any Mother could do this to her own little Daughter for 'any' reason,she should in fact have been the one protecting her from anything like this happening.
