At the very least, the judge needs some kind of punishment for this.

I hope he does. I can't fathom how someone can nearly kill 3 people and their punishment is time served (which turns out to be less than 2 years) and probation. That's ridiculous and inexcusable. And I'd like the opinion of someone who works in the legal field.

Yep, the toddler is probably mentally scarred and will have to live with this for a long time, if not the rest of their life, but they should be comforted in knowhing that she PROBABLY won't do this to someone else.

True, but nearly killing 3 people - one of which was a toddler in her care - should be punished more severely than 1 and a half years in prison.

The point being that even people who commit more heinous crimes and are found not guilty by reason of insanity are still basically locked away for some time.
