Speak Up for June 25 - Jailed mother with dying baby

Updated 1:43 PM Thursday, June 25, 2009

Re “Mother forced to stay in jail as daughter died,” June 17: The time to be a loving responsible parent to your child begins at conception, not at the deathbed of a premature infant struggling with the legacy of her mother’s drug abuse and her reckless lifestyle.

Judge Denise Moody has no compassion at all. Our taxes should have enabled a deputy to be with her all the way.

Kudos to Judge Denise Moody. Thanks for keeping me and my family safe.

The mother should have thought about her unborn infant when she was charged with breaking the law. I agree with Judge Denise Moody.

Judge Denise Moody made the correct decision by keeping the lady in jail.

Judge Denise Moody’s decision to deny a dying infant the chance to be held by its biological mother is wrong. Two wrongs do not make a right.

I am sorry for the mother’s loss, but I agree with the judge. You made some bad choices in life and it got you where you were. I hope you get your life turned around.

Dawn Brewer should have been allowed to hold the baby. It possibly could have been an asset to her recovery.

Judge Denise Moody just lost a vote.

Judge Denise Moody, I am sure you are a mother. The charges against the mother were not that serious.

Death row inmates get to see their family members before they die.

I applaud Judge Denise Moody’s decision to not allow the deathbed visit.

I think Judge Denise Moody did the correct thing.

I think Judge Denise Moody was wrong.

Thank you, Judge Denise Moody, for protecting us by not releasing the mom from jail.

I lost a daughter. There is no way a mother can deal with the loss of a child without being at his or her side.

Judge Denise Moody is one of the best judges we have in Springfield.
