At 21 years old, her son is really not her problem regardless of physical or mental capacity. If the state has a problem with it, they should be looking after him themselves.

There are people out there who are older than 21 who need daily care by a parent, sibling, family member, friend or state hired people because of things since birth or horrific injuries they have suffered like a factory or car accident. I suggest you inform yourself about care for the disabled before you make another comment that has an air of ignorance to it. I'm presuming you're genuinely uninformed, and not a dick.
I'm not uninformed, I just don't think parents should be forced into slavery for the rest of their lives caring for someone. In this situation if the state won't take him, it should be legal to put him down.
So parental neglect is out as you say, the son was much too old. But attempted murder isn't, if someone pushed a person in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs you wouldn't say "Well if the state has a problem with they should be looking after them.".
Point taken, but the reason this sort of thing happens is that people are forced into defacto slavery caring for disabled children. If the state won't accept them, post-birth abortion should be legal.

She knowingly put him in danger. Regardless of whether he is her 'problem' or not, what she did was illegal and cruel.
