Or is Ms. Simmons legally and financially responsible for her child's expenses? Also, are the expenses of the birth covered by her personal medical insurance (if she has any) or are the taxpayers picking up the bill for that as well? I would not like to be held responsible for a convicted felon's care nor would I appreciate having to support her child as long as there is a family member - husband, mother, father, sister, brother, etc. that could assume the care and financial responsibility of the child. I don't believe choices should be given to felons in these situations if it costs the taxpayers money unless the felon is required to pay back the taxpayers for the cost of her personal choice while incarcerated. http://wbta1490.com/LocalNews/tabid/115/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/2940/Jacquetta-Simmons-Transferred-to-State-Prison.aspx#Comments
