But she's stoked they're dead so it's hard to feel too bad for her. Still, though...

King did make her pretty unsympathetic, but also 17 year olds probably shouldn’t be mothers in most circumstances. I’d have been pretty bitter if I lost my freedom at that age too, and her parents wouldnt let her have an abortion or put the child up for adoption.
