Parents Gone Wild! Heather Lerch convicted of the murder of her 17-month-old son, Patrick, after he ingested a large amount of meth

Patrick Lerch

Personally, I cannot think of a punishment that fits this heinous crime. Heather Lerch was supposed to love and protect her son, Patrick. After all, at 17 months, he could not take care of himself. However, she did not protect him or take care of him. She put him in a horrible situation. There was an active meth lab in this house, and yes, she knew it was there. Besides, this beautiful child had bruises all over him, so he was also being abused. Now, Heather Lerch faces 15 years to life in prison. She should stay in prison for the rest of her miserable life.
