Don’t worry I have no doubt she will be charged. In 2018 we prosecute everything, accidents like this are definitely prosecutable. We have more people in prison than any other nation on earth because of our tend to prosecute every accident, act of bad judgment etc. We even have people in prison for urinating behind a bar.
I am not defending this woman’s stupidity, just asking why we need to lock her up? Is she dangerous? Evil? No she is guilty of deadly stupidity.
Remember now all her kids will likely be wards of the state, a burden to tax payers. She will cost 50k or more to keep her in prison. When she gets out she will be unemployable and in need of government services. This lock up everyone attitude is expensive for us taxpayers.
Prison should be for dangerous evil individuals. Predators, violent people and criminals belong there. Accidental killers are not evil or dangerous. Locking them up accomplishes nothing but cost taxpayers money.
I agree also having worked with special needs children and adults. It does seem that this was a case without evil intent. Perhaps this Mom should have had more services and training for her special needs daughter? Sounds more like an accident to me.
Headlines lacking additional information. Something very wrong here. Was this 11 year old a special needs girl? How many pre-teens don't know how to open a car door from inside? Does not matter if car was locked from outside with windows rolled up, or if it had child safety lock, it can still be opened from inside.
Mom forgot her older daughter? Hello, if she had younger children you would think she would want her older daughter inside helping her with her younger siblings? Did she have a fight with her Mom and refused to get out of the car? Very possible at that age.
While an 11 year old is still a child, she is definitely NOT a baby. Too much missing information. What I get from the headline is that "see you cannot trust pre-teens to be responsible for themselves".
ummm well i see how this could happen. back when i was 18 my adoptive parents took me on a roadtrip. i feel asleep in the backseat and they went inside to get food. when i woke up, i was BURNING, and for some odd reason i couldnt get out of the car at all or unlock it because the door wouldn't unlock when i tried to get out.
it was miserable but my adoptive parents came back in time before anything serious happened.
Look at what you all discuss here and wonder about, it represents how lack of important details and info you have about this incident.
In anyway, If it were proved that this incident was an accident, I don't see it a good idea to charge the mom and and disperse her children. Because losing her daughter in this way will be the biggest punishment she could get, its effects might continue with her for whole life.
