A woman in Taunton, Massachusetts has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for abusing her infant boy while she was drunk.

Judge David Turcotte reduced the charge, which carries up to five years of jail time, to assault and battery during Tuesday’s proceedings.

[Suleidy] Lugo, who pleaded not guilty at her arraignment, was arrested after her neighbors told police she was drunk and putting her son in danger.

Police reports said that Lugo at one point slapped her baby across the face and grabbed him by the neck.

Why the hell did the judge reduce the charges?

Well, at least she wasn’t successful.

And, unlike most cases in which the mother tries to kill her children, at least this mother wasn’t selfish enough to try to spare her own life claiming that she was doing her children a favor as in the case of so many other sociopathic mothers . I hope those kids aren’t forced into a relationship with their mother, mandated through the court system, if they don’t wish to have contact with someone that tried to murder them .

TAUNTON, Mass. — A Taunton mother stabbed her two children early Tuesday morning, then herself and the children’s grandmother may have prevented a greater tragedy, police said.

Sandra Meninno, 39, stabbed her children, ages 10 and 12, before stabbing herself. She was then disarmed by her 64-year-old mother, according to police.
