I feel for everyone involved in this case and any case involving children. I lost a grand daughter 3 yrs. ago and I'm still reeling from it. You just NEVER get over losing a children, you are just forced to find a new kind of normal.Learning to live without them children is hard enough for this mother. I don't feel that she should have been arrested, but people can not go around hitting others just because they feel no justice has been served. As for the driver I can not image the pain she has to feel knowing she caused this.But the driver still needs to be punished for the accident. Driving is a privilege and needs to be treated as such.Very sad situation, may they all find peace in their memories of the precision children. Gone to soon, but forever loved.

As a mother who's child has died, I can completely understand her anger amidst the grief. UNTIL you loose a child, don't you dare judge. 7 years out and I still have plenty of anger and rage. and sadness. I only lost one, can't imagine 3. All the people who have NOT lost a child should not make comments. I will never get over the loss of my child, nor will she. I hope for some peace to her during this MOST difficult time.

The fact that she only received 4 years is a slap in the face to this mom. I don't blame her one bit for being upset and hitting the girl, she deserved it.

I would have used a lot more than just my fists.

This poor mother has been charged, are we insane, are you kidding me and the texting fool who killed her kids gets only four years.

I can TRY to step in to either side’s shoes, but I could never feel the pain and constant thought of the loss and tragedy to the extent they must feel. I’m conflicted because I’m on the outside thinking there’s no way she meant to kill three children when she woke up that morning. And yet to live two very long years without my three children (who are now 32,29 and 23) would never be something I would get over. I would take it to my grave. I would be forever changed. I would be haunted by what they would be doing were they still alive each day. She had two years to boil in her grief. I am not surprised by her actions. I could never condemn her for them. Maybe I would do the same. I can’t know that I wouldn’t. But I can’t condemn the driver as well for a horrendous mistake. And with as much as I’ve thought about this I honestly don’t know what an appropriate sentence would be. Depending on how I was related to either party I would most likely come up with different answers.

It’s an ugly and tragic event that wouldn’t even have happened had she stopped for a soda or missed a light. Just one minute of difference and we would not be having this discussion. I can’t imagine living in either woman’s headspace. I would lose my mind. I wouldn’t want to live. The amount of strength and courage to get out of bed and function is something I don’t ever want to know if I possess.

No, she didn't do what any mourning parent would do. I've known mourning parents and none of them were violent, especially two years after the deaths of the children. Ingle had tons of money, access to therapy, a new home and an overwhelming supportive community and legal support. But she whined, when a medicated Ms. Shepherd didn't show enough 'remorse' for her. She accused her of being 'cold'. Today, Ms. Shepherd was emotional as she spoke to the court. The 'remorse' was in her voice, but what happened? Was that enough for Ms. Ingle? Nope. She lunged and hit the defenseless Ms. Shepherd. And that says everything I need to know about Ms. Ingle's character. Any idiot who thinks that criminalizing an accident and incarcerating people for their mistakes (not crimes, mistakes), shouldn't play any role in the justice system. There is nothing you can do to Ms Shepherd that her conscience hasn't already done. By criminalizing her error, the system is adding additional casualties to the four already on record. There is no peace to be found in hatred and destruction. Ingle's followers don't get that, they only see anger, rage, and darkness. A reflection of themselves, actually. It's chilling. I wish Alyssa and her family well. I will be reaching out to them to ensure that their needs are met. I will aid this family in their crisis.

If the mother needs bail money sign me up! This is a prime example of the hypocrisy within our “justice” system. Hopefully prison justice finds this murderer soon, and the prosecutor’s office drops this charge against the mother.

She did what any parent mourning their children would do. CHILDREN. Multiple. She killed 3. They ought to be ashamed of themselves for putting this woman in cuffs. That girl killed 3 kids because she wasn’t paying attention. Shes just as bad as any violent offender.
