sending this woman to prison will not help to cure her,what will happen,is that in prison she will meet similiar types,who will advise her how to work the system and say the right words to the social workers,

I think that it's more likely that she will have to be kept in solitary to avoid the wrath of other prisoners, much as male sex offenders are.

Rape is not always a violent action. Rape occurs when one party does not agree to sex but it happens anyway. Sex with an underage child is called rape because the child cannot agree to sex, whether they were willing or not. This case is more than rape - it is a betrayal of trust by a parent.

It is likely that all these children will have a hard time with self image as they grow up. They will probably blame themselves for the fact that their mother would not care for them and it's going to take some heavy counselling to get them past that. I only hope that the system, having failed them for so long, will now make sure that they get all the help possible to get them through this.
