[–] stoly@lemmy.world 55 points 2 years ago (4 children) This isn’t uplifting. It is sad that priorities had her born in jail. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] zurohki@aussie.zone 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) !orphancrushing@lemmy.world permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stoly@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago thanks. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TurboHarbinger@feddit.cl 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) She wants you to be sad, is all about prejudice. She even uses it on herself as her introduction. IMHO I would had done my best to keep that fact hidden had it happened to me (still, how would I know what it feels). She exploits that fact. Good for her, but it's not sad. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stoly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Good take. I’d also keep that a secret for life. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Why? It doesn't say why her mother was in prison for, so it could be justified. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) You just argued that it's good for children to be born in cages. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago No - what I've argued is that it does not unjustify the mother's imprisonment. I don't think it really matters if a child was born in prison or not, as long as the sanitary and medical conditions were proper (that is - in the prison's infirmary and not into the cell's toilet). Growing up in prison is a different matter, which no child should be subjected to, but here it says her father took her and raised her outside. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Wogi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago "late state capitalism disguised as uplifting news" permalink fedilink source parent
