Should a breastfeeding mom arrested for drugs get less jail time?
Should a parent who assaults someone get a lighter sentence just because they have kids?
Kentucky Senate Bill 122 (just out of committee) would force judges to consider parental status—including breastfeeding—for more lenient sentences on “non-violent” felonies.
Kentucky still labels second-degree assault (stabbings, severe beatings, strangulation), assault under extreme emotional disturbance, and more as “non-violent” for parole purposes. That’s why Ronald Exantus, who stabbed 6-year-old Logan in Versailles, got early release despite a 20-year sentence—sparking Logan's Law.
If anything, parents committing crimes are victimizing their own children too. This bill codifies unequal justice: same crime, different punishment based on having kids. Justice should be blind.
Also:
- The bare-bones state budget—no earmarks.
- Good bills to support: HB 189 (bans dangerous panhandling on highways) & HB 4 (criminalizes teacher grooming).
- Snow/ice removal failures across KY (Lexington lying about salt; road crews rewarded for using the least salt?).
- Northern KY Against ICE’s ridiculous “whistle kits” to help criminal illegal immigrants avoid deportation.
