I think its pretty sad that people cant be more open minded and understand that not every one is guilty both of the womens charges have been dropped so all that publicity and shame for something they were "accused" of doing.

Thanks for posting this article with photos. Hopefully this sort of continued exposure will shame some of these criminals into thinking twice about their actions. It is truly dispicable that these women would use their children in their criminal efforts. I hope they receive appropriate punishment. Seeing themselves in the news, and knowing that their friends and family are seeing them in all their "glory" may help. Good Job MCS. Shame on the two imbeciles - God Bless their poor children. They're going to need all the help they can get.
