She should not be rewarded with a life of ease and freebies in prison for the next 40 years.
Death penalty--yes.

Good news for you, Brooklynne! Since you had custody of the children for more than half the year, you can claim them as dependents on your 2024 tax return. Three children puts you in line for a possible maximum Earned Income Credit of $7,830, plus 3 x $2,000 = $6,000 child tax credit = $13,830 total. Oh yeah (wink wink) this money is supposed to be for the children's well-being. Be sure to come in early just in case the children's fathers (I'm guessing plural) try to claim them on his taxes too. Yes, of course we can give you the Instant Refund so you don't have to wait two weeks for the IRS to process it, but we'll skim a few hundred bucks off the top, plus another couple of hundred for typing in the numbers. But hey, you're playing with house money, right? Just sign here and let the good times roll!
The only upside to the story is that she removed one of her offspring from the gene pool, albeit in a horrible fashion. Since she was incapable of caring for herself or her children, she really should have been kept from having any, via IUD, an implant, or surgery. But of course this never happens, so we get reports like this in the news.
