Thankfully, it sounds like the child's mother won't be required to go to prison for a year - as long as she agrees to always have someone physically watch her son, and additionally surveil her son 24/7 using an app installed on their phone.

I wonder how many people these days think that they're going too light on her, and are thirsting for stricter penalties?

The damage for the kid is also considerable. I mean, he learns that he needs to be surveilled 24/7.
Yeah, the requirement for 24/7 surveillance to avoid being sent to a foster home - or something - kinda sucks
