thinks her son was less important than others because he was disabled. Maybe I've missed your point.

She committed a heinous crime when she was a teenager. By my calculations, she would be 40+ years old now. She has served her sentence, she has shown remorse, she has worked very hard to improve herself and wants to find a way to help others.

Yes, she should be forgiven. The person she is now is not the person she was. She will live with what she did for the rest of her life.

There is nothing she can do that will bring her son back. Further punishment or incarceration will not bring her son back.
