The mother of a Florida woman accused of failing to protect her slain infant son from abuse says her daughter's sentence isn't strong enough.

Sally Susino (center ^) spoke tearfully in a central Florida courtroom Wednesday as her daughter Kristen Bury, 32, was sentenced to 25 years in prison. As a part of a plea deal with prosecutors, Bury pleaded no contest to aggravated manslaughter in the death of her nine-week-old son Chance, who was found buried in a remote, wooded area about 13 miles from her North Port home last October.
Bury's husband Joseph Walsh is accused of killing the child, and as a part of the plea deal, Bury will be required to testify against him when he stands trial on second-degree murder charges.
Bury reportedly collapsed in tears as her mother told a judge that Bury made a conscious choice to "let my defenseless, tiny grandson Chance die a horrible death, choosing an abusive husband [and] drugs over the life of her own child."
Susino told the judge her daughter lacks the "mother's instinct to love and protect her young."
"Justice needs to be done, and we don't feel the sentence was strong enough," Susino told reporters after the court hearing, as her husband held up a photo of the child. "A mother is supposed to protect her child at all costs, and that wasn't done."

I feel sorry for this grieving grandmother and completely understand her sentiments in regards to her POS daughter and POS son-in-law.
