I see no crime
Has anyone with half a brain already said they wish they had that social worker when they were young?
That 13 year old boy deserves justice
Imagine if this was a guy and a young girl that did this that just had "a child" would he have got this sentence? Absolutely NOT!! This is bull s***
Could you imagine if a male social worker did this, went to the moms house with a gun. Wow. He would be in for life.
She obviously was raised by a religious conservative family I noticed all these types of people come from that life it's a power thing.
Men getting 36 years and above for the same crime
How much time would a man get for the same crime? I thought women wanted equality???
Wait so she had a husband and cheated on him with a 13 year old 🤮🤢 gross and horrible
“corn” is corrupting minds everywhere
4 years? He'll be 18 when she gets out. Think about that.
These judges are disgusting. Every time I see one of these women it seems like they only get a few years. So I guess what's really going to stop them? We need mandatory laws with harsher penalties for crimes like this. I feel so bad for the child and his parent. I know his mom had no clue that this was going to happen. We trust social workers to protect our children.
Shes beautiful tho 🤷🏿
Un-fxxking-real! 4 years for this is nothing! She threatened his mum with a gun and they just drop it. If a guy did this he'd get a life sentence
Do you need to give her a lobotomy?
Oh wait, it’s a woman. No wonder 👍
From her very first sentence it’s obvious she isn’t sorry because she’s apologizing for the situation and not taking any accountability for the fact that she caused the entire thing
They gave her a plea ddal to drop those other charges for what??? Hopefully she meets street justice like hard street justice. Who cares if she has a child she obviosuly doesnt!
It's only 4 years…BUT…the real tragedy and consequence is going to come in the form of never being able to get those 4 years of life back with her baby. 4 years of memories and watching her baby grow….gone.
Our courts and judges are despicable. Why do some get more time then other's for same crimes
Isn't it funny they all say they are sorry for ''what happened'', they never say ''for what I did'' or ''for my actions''. They never ever will take responsibility for the kind of people they are. They will give excuses to themselves nonstop.
I'm sorry, but she is gorgeous. If I were thirteen and her and I were hooking up, I wouldn't say a word… I'd count my blessings! What a lucky 13 year old!
20:09 this happened very similar to my cousins, and he harmed them while getting treatment for abuse, he got life!! If this teacher was male, his life would be in a cell. Justice was not served for this child. Imo
If this was a man that did this to a young girl, they would locked him up and throw away the key now it’s a woman doing this to a young boy, but she gets less prison time unbelievable
The usual suspects 👱♀
FOUR YEARS??
I'm sorry if it meant she was going to go to prison for a long time my child would be on the witness stand
Jesse Weber looks 13 sitting next to Sarena Townsend 😂
😂
People automatically become remorseful model citizens when the cuffs go on… when her baby turns 13, she will be in the victim’s mother’s shoes. I pray there’s no one in her shoes to do to her child what she has done to someone else’s.
Wow! She got more of a sweetheart deal than Jeffrey Epstien!
20:14 "we need to vet people" but how would you have vetted a person with a qualification and no previous history? Easy statement to make but lacks any substance.
I wouldn't actually call it a horrific crime
Crazy!!! These women are out of their minds! 13 years old? Many beautiful women too… It’s a crazy world!
Double standard !!!! Great job judge !!!
What a joke!! 🤯
Damn she stressing her blond disappearing 😂😂
She needs to get the same treat by men in prison!
I dont understand that the judge says the victim was a child and that she blackmailed and so on but he s ok with giving such a light punishment. Why is that? Is it because she's a woman? It's not acceptable whatever the reason is, some people go to jail way way longer for smaller offenses than 4 years and 9 months
Post nut clarity
Our judicial system is a joke
Woman want equal rights they should serve equal time. It makes me sick that she got so little time.
