I am late to the conversation (again!), but I am
so pleased with the
EIGHTEEN YEARS OF PROBATION!!! Quite frankly, I suspect Shanesha is wishing she had just taken the 18 MONTHS of jail time.
I had hoped for TEN years of probation-- this is
very comforting. Even the child she is now pregnant with, will be protected and supervised for its entire childhood, until age 18.
Shanesha will have to explain and justify a lot of things she does, and plans to do, for the next 18 years. And I'm glad of that. Just knowing she has to ask permission to travel, move, etc, is justice for her kids. I hope each and every one of her Probation Officers is a hard a$$, and ensures she complies with every aspect of her probation. I'm much happier to have
law enforcement in her life and her business, rather than only social services (who will be there, too).
She is now a single mom of 4 kids on probation for the next 18 years. It's a given that taxpayers will be shelling out for this irresponsible woman's supervision and upkeep, but if it keeps her kids safe and supervised, and gives them a chance to grow up outside of a chaotic life, or criminal elements, then I'm guess I'm okay with that.
I hope she is made to pay restitution, as discussed upthread, too.
And I hope the deadbeat "aspiring rapper" dad is made to pay up for child support, too.
And I really hope Shanesha Taylor is never again in the news, or on any kind of television show.
And check this out, from the link upthread: (ST is apparently planning to move to Chicago.)
Can a probationer relocate out of the state of Arizona?
If the probationer meets specific criteria (generally a verified residence, employment, and support network), he/she can be considered to transfer supervision to another state. It is ultimately up to the receiving state, however, if they will agree to take the probationer. If the receiving state denies the request for out of state supervision, the probationer must remain in Arizona for supervision.

One more thing-- in the articles about sentencing, we finally get
official confirmation that:
SHANESHA LIED AND WAS NEVER HOMELESS.
