I don't know how a mother can be so neglectful to her own son. Every woman should keep her children. ________________________ Matt Addiction Recovery New Jersey

The whole story is sad. One of the things that struck me is that one of the nurses is 73 years old. That in and of itself is sad. That's a pretty difficult job for such an old woman. She should be retired by now. It's not right that she has to work. Also, Christopher Reeve died of the same exact thing and you know that his care was impeccable. So unless there are other ways they can prove that he was neglected, just by getting sepsis is not proof in and of itself of neglect.

This is some of the most disturbing and alarming stories I have read in quite some time. It's unfathomable to me how a mother can be so neglectful to her own son, no matter how flawed or damaged or ill or whatever. This makes me so incredibly sad. And, it eclipses any problems or issues or concerns that may plague me. God bless Jaylen Brown, may he rest in peace. And, as much as I would wish ill-will towards his mother, I don't, because she will have to live with the atrocity she caused. Shame on her. Shame on the system.
