Why do they have a right to cause a problem with full abandon and then I am just compelled to help them?

First and foremost, I respect you and everyone else, don't take me wrong. If my words sounded aggressive, I apologize.
I would like to point that you are not judging a crime, like a group of 12 juries. You are judging the mother's decision to ask for help. What she can legally do at anytime; it's up to people to decide if they want to contribute or not. You even said that he paid for his mistakes, so let it be.
What I meant when I said that nobody can judge, its because nobody is perfect to do so. Everyone makes mistakes, even unconsciously. A mistake in here could perfectly be a crime somewhere else, so how can you even measure and tell a small sin from a big one? Think about it.
It's always better to wish good things to the others, regardless of what they have done. Forgiveness and compassion are beneficial for your own soul. Wish you the best.
