Is it tragic for the baby? Absolutely. But let's see what the young woman's cognitive capabilities are before we decide prison is best for her.
I understand that she's from a poor family from Mexico. Which encompasses the majority of the nation. I work with poor people from Mexico all day. Most of them aren't hearing impaired and can't read or write Spanish or English. Mexico is a whole other world where many of the people can't even comprehend sign language or even education. For many Mexicans eating is more important, and it's a struggle just to do that every day.

Her family could obviously communicate with her, possibly in their own version of sign language. Obviously if she was working in Washington as a laborer, she has some capability of communication with someone.

I feel bad for her, but what she did (or attempted to do) is heinous.
