Ms. Banita M. Jacks, 35, was discovered with her 4 daughters dead bodies. Their bodies had been in the their home for 7 months and were revealed only because the mother was being given an eviction notice. When her trial came, Ms. Jacks’s lawyers had her plead not guilty because of her insanity. This tragedy was noticed by the federal court and so the local child welfare agency went into turmoil and accusations that more should have been done to prevent them from their deaths. The city inspector recognized a lack of visits and coordination through the city agencies as the reason the girls are not still alive. When the girls had dropped our of school, the education officials failed to follow through. The family was suppose to obtain visits every month because of where its housing placement was, but it never did. Therefore, the judge not convinced by her plead, therefore was sentenced to 120 years in prison for killing and obtaining her daughters decomposing bodies in her home for months. I believe that this is a horrible thing a mother could ever do. I do not understand why it is that people choose to have more children and know that they are not capable of taking care of them. These innocent children had no reason at all in the world to pay this type of cruelty. I hope this women will live with this in her conscious and will not make excuses for her actions and realize what she did was horrible.
