I spent the entire morning going through the comments here and it is just heartbreaking to see so many people who understand exactly what this system does to families. My lawyer keeps telling me to stay patient but it is impossible when I think about Amanda sitting in that cell while her baby is out there somewhere in the system without her.

Im truley sorry for what she is going through there is no pain like looseing one of your children for one bad choice you made especially in butte county they seem to be harder on women than men
I knew Amanda when she was a child. She was in trouble a lot. The fact is that adults always cast her out and she never got the support a child and teenager needs. Her behavior is a result of her experiences as a child. She deserves a chance to develop into a productive member of society, with proper guidence. She never got that chance as a child. I do not know the details of this case but I can't imagine a situation that would justify 15 years in prison. I'm sure she needs something but prison is not the answer. and she never got the kind of support that a child should.
I am strongly opposed to a situation such as this, where a person is immediately punished for something they may or may not be guilty of. It angers and frightens me how much power CPS holds. This agency can take our children, our hearts with little to support their action. I recently learned that the people working there aren't even required to have a college degree. Many of them aren't licensed Social Workers, but merely "Case Workers". It shocks me that CPS doesn't have higher standards for people they give so much power to. Something needs to be done because ripping a child away from the family is a harmful act in and of itself. It hurts the family of course, but the biggest victim in it all is the child.
I think if anything she could use some psychiatric support such as medication and counseling, but not up to 15 years for a mutual physical confrontation! She's obviously unstable from the fact her child was just ripped from her arms... Free Amanda!
Amanda needs a place safe to heal from her child hood wounds to help her understand why the drugs have played a role in her life. A year long or more drug treatment center and cancealing is what she needs to stop the cycle, prison is not the answer!!! that is part of the problem. As a society/criminal justice system as a whole nobody wants to help heal, it just wants to throw a way a key on people instead being apart of the salution and bring about change for the better
i dont feel she was in a right frame of mind
Ridiculous!! Bull shit!

amanda does not deserve such a harsh sentence she is a very loving caring and honest girl who has been through alot and maybe doesnt have the propet tools to deal with her pain so locking her up is only going to make her angry maybe rehab would be better for these girls that have suffered a lose of a child
