Am I missing something here, misreading or something? A complete WTF to me. How can this occur.

A woman accused of drowning her 12-year-old son in a California irrigation ditch was released from probation in 2014 after her parole officer in Montana said she didn't pose any risk to the boy she had tried to drown as a baby in a Montana river.

Sherri Telnas' Montana parole officer recommended in July 2014 conditional release from her supervision, saying Telnas' discharge from supervision "is in the best interests of the offender and society and will not present unreasonable risk of danger to the victim(s) of this offense," court documents show.

Telnas, 45, was charged Tuesday with the killing of her oldest son, Jackson, and the attempted killing of her 7-year-old son, Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward said. Her youngest son remains at a hospital in critical condition.

Telnas was sentenced in 2009 to the custody of Montana health officials for two 10-year sentences running consecutively for trying to drown the then-10-month-old boy. She transferred her supervision to California in 2012, according to court documents.

1. perps should NEVER get custody of the child they tried to kill

4. Definitely! Like what are they thinking! When someone crosses the line like that to attempted murder

in my book at least they would never be trusted with a damn thing, especially the one they tried to kill. It's all just totally off the wall to me!

2. The myth of rehabilitation.

On this issue I am perhaps out of step with my fellow DUers, but I do not believe bad people can ever be good, that the violent can become peaceful, or that those who murder should ever walk free.

5. Same thoughts, see #4. n/t

7. I don't get it either...

Telnas was sentenced in 2009 to the custody of Montana health officials for two 10-year sentences running consecutively for trying to drown the then-10-month-old boy. She transferred her supervision to California in 2012, according to court documents.

guess being sentenced to Montana health officials isn't the same the same thing as sentenced to prison. So, she got better. And then she got worse.
