Each kid missed about 58 days. The state cares so much for them that it takes away their mother for half a year.

Why should the mom be forced to raise her child herself? She can do something more productive with her day, like working. No jobs = no economy

For someone going to jail for six months she looks really happy.

Well, the government is their daddy, right?

The kids are doing fine in school now. Weird


Since her arrest two months ago, Cuevas has served roughly a quarter of her sentence that comes with a $2,000 fine.

School officials say Cuevas' kids have had good attendance this school year.
