What Should These Mothers Be Told About The Execution Of Their Teenage Daughters?
ByTwo girls ages 16 and 17 were hanged at the women’s prison for smuggling a large quantity of illegal and dangerous drugs into a country. Several high school and college youths have died from using this particular drug.
The girls’ mothers became angry after they learned the 22 year old woman they claimed tricked their daughters into smuggling the illicit drugs had her death sentence commute minutes before she was to be hanged when she agreed to provide incriminating information about the leaders of the drug smuggling ring.
Evidence at trial proved the teenagers were willing participants in the plot to smuggle the drugs into the country and thus the girls were convicted and sentenced to die.
How would you console these mothers?

I wouldn’t.
Despite the unfair commute of the other woman’s sentence, their daughters are responsible for the deaths of many other children.
A better question would be “What should these mothers say to the loved ones of those who died from their child’s actions”
These girls knew what they were doing was wrong. They surely knew theconsequencess, so in myopinion they should just try to go on with their lives.

Ummm, I wouldn’t. These ‘girls’ provided drugs to teens and young adults that killed them. They helped kill people; they got what they deserved. Granted, the 22 year old should have been executed also. But that doesn’t mean the mothers need any more consolation because she wasn’t.

I have very little compassion for drug dealers. When it comes to relatives of drug dealers, I am still thinking about that.
I am saying this because, in 1990’s, a drug dealer by the name of Rafael Edmonds was ravaging Washington, D.C. with his drug empire. His mother was not chastising him…..SHE WAS HELPING HIM!!!!!
