If a mother kills someone to protect her kids, should she go to jail?

Children are innocent, I feel a mother has a right to protect her kids.

If the children were at risk of being hurt and she was just trying to keep them safe, then no. I would hope that it would be a last resort, though.

i don't care what would happen to me as long as i protect my children...i would kill if i had to if the life of one of my children was threatened...and no, they should not go to jail...but even if they put me in prison for the rest of my life, i would do it all over again and never be sorry for it

no. unless the mother has a grudge against that victim beforehand. it's perfectly normal for the maternal parent wanting to protect their own children. just watch animal planet and you'll know what i'm talking about. although there are a few exceptions.. :P

i think if someone is atacking her children she does have the right to save them whether its killing the person or whatever she doesn have to protect her young and no she shouldnt go to jail for that, that shouldnt even be a crime anyone protecting someone shouldnt go to jail for that.
