What is wrong with this woman? She needs to be put in a car that hot and left there. See how long she can stand it. Well really she needs that poor child taken from her, and not given back to her. Too many people would love to have a child and cant have them for some reason. I SAY TAKE THE CHILD AND DONT GIVE HER BACK. BAD MOM..
