Kelli Stapleton The Status Woe

Kelli Stapleton a mother who deals with struggles to her fourteen year old autistic daughter named Issy. Throughout the blog, the “Status Woe”, Kelli talks about her struggles and sportiness she has to her daughter Issy. Begins how a teenage daughter with autism with violent rages come to fear in Kelli Stapleton life (Stapleton). Clearly Kelli’s mind she had always picture that Issy was going to get the treatment she need and that Kelli’s life was going to change. In Hanna Rosin article it states that Kelli would have conflicts to herself whether she wanted to end herself and her daughter’s life stating they both where going to heaven together. Kelli eventually does a fail attempting suicide murder by trying to end herself and her daughter’s

Even though Kelli suffers the beatings she had form her daughter, physically and psychosocially she had no right to attempt a murder to her daughter (Stapleton). In one of the paragraphs in the article by Hanna Rosin she stated that Kelli wanted her sentence to have a few extra years for each year Kelli has raise her (Rosin). Kelli prefers to be behind bars rather than face her daughter everyday initially thinking about everyday might be her last. As if Kelli would think ways in what if she would have kill herself or what if she live and stay home with her daughter. There will always be that conclusion if Kelli wanted to be home with her daughter rather than be behind bars. “Kelli prefers to be lock up in prison rather than be with her autistic daughter” (Rosin). Even though Kelli ask for donations and fundraisers she still would have fallen short due the fact the insurance would not have paid much of the clinic. This would have force Kelli to leave her family and be with Issy 24/7 facing more episodes and higher autistic issues. Eventually in the end things would not workout with the clinic bringing Issy back

It’s mostly clear that Kelli wanted to, “appear on the Dr. Phil show to her own publicity rather than most tell people on how raising an autistic child helps” (Rosin). Later on thought the Dr. Phil show Kelli attorneys would mention that if Kelli would not do anything about saving her life Kelli had the possibility of facing the death penalty her friends were suggesting for her
