THIS is twisted. A north suburban Seattle mom was sentenced for plying with alcohol and porno films her son (13), her daughter (15), and a female friend (17); then filming them having sex. The mom is 34. Yeesh. I wonder what HER childhood was like.

Well, she did promise to never do it again: "'I just know I would never do anything like this again to my children, anyone's children,' Houser said." Maybe we should accept her sincere courtroom apology. Or, and this is probably the mean spirited conservative in me, we should lock her up and insist on sterilization as a condition of parole.

I'd say your Door #2 is the right choice IF she is convicted for any other sex offense upon release. And I wonder, as with most sentences for serious crimes, will this one (7 yrs and 3 mo) be cut short for "good behavior" in prison, or some other grounds for early parole?
