This is pretty disturbing:
As reported here and
also here a woman tried to sell her baby in order to buy OxyContin.
The maximum prison sentence available for this charge is 5 years. While 5 years or less may be appropriate in this particular case (apparently she was trying to sell the child to her grandmother rather than some total stranger) it seems an inadequate maximum sentence.
I can see forgiving a lot because of drug use - theft; uttering; forgery; maybe even B&E's of empty businesses; or low level, support the habit, dealing - but we should never forgive dragging children into the parent's sin or total abandoning the child to that sin.
