ok so you think youre right,,, but fact is now Mrs. Polomaine will receive the treatment she needs so she will not have the ability to hurt her GRANDCHILDREN! It is a shame that she thinks (and you too) that anything will change with an appeal,,, she is only spending more money (or is it county money?) to find out the same results. SHELLYMAY you have a great day! Enjoy your life too.
Everyone keeps saying no criminal past. All criminals have a first crime. Mrs. Polomaine must have snapped, no one in their right mind could have hurt that beautiful child. If she didn't do it, how did it happen? It was her responsibility to keep this child safe while in her care. Our legal system heard the case and judged her GUILTY, now she has to pay for her crime. Why is the future of the Polomaine children more important than Rileys? They will go on to have a normal childhood, the only thing they are missing is a mother. Riley will NOT have a normal childhood, she has difficult therapy, and will strugle for any minor goal she makes. She is missing her sight, the ability to run and play. The hopes and dreams her parents had have now been changed to a one day at a time mode of thinking. How can you people even attempt to compare what the Polomaine's are going through with the Gilberts. Are you serious?
Wow,,, such emotion, what a shame is true to ruin so many peoples lives. But No one has the right to injury a child, Maybe Mrs. Polomaine should have taken the plea, oh that is right she would have had to fully explain what happened, NO, she took her chances with the jury and just like a lottery ticket, she lost. That can only proves that the truth will never be told, and as a Democratic society we had to rely on the judge and jury. I applaud them for seeing right through her stories, and keying into the missing, lapse in memory that she displayed. The Polomaine children will only learn anger from the care givers that they will have now, possibly a loving neutral foster home would be best for them now. Unfortunately Riley does not have that option does she? AMS - COLUMBIA COUNTY FRIEND
Isn't that nice that the judge took into consideration that Ms. Polomaine did not have a previous criminal record, and that she has children of her own. Well I am for one, glad that she is not going to have any interactions with her children for a long time. They are safe now and she can not hurt them. What could a little two year old child do to warrant such an injury? That sentence is not long enough when one takes into consideration that Miss Riley Gilbert has received a life sentence. As well as all of her family members and friends. This trauma has affected more people then the judge will ever know. Shame on you Ms. Polomaine, you will never feel enough pain as far as I am concerned. AMS-COLUMBIA COUNTY FRIEND!
