What is the benefit of charging and imprisoning either one of them?

Well it depends on the circumstances. I mean if they truly forgot, the I don't think the charge is warranted. If they did it intentionally, then they deserve a murder charge.

Because they failed at the most basic requirement of parenting?

I said they should both be charged.

Murder, and neglectful manslaughter are not ok no matter how you frame the details. There are consequences for our actions.


I never said they should be imprisoned. I am a huge fan of community service as a modality of sentencing. Requiring these two, assuming they truly forgot to go through a psych eval, parenting classes, and speak publically to other young parents could be of benefit and possibly prevent further catastrophes.


In the event either parent intentionally left their child there they should be appropriately treated for underlying psych disorder, and have certain rights restricted in the future. Sadly forced sterilization is not an option.

My third child is 6 months old. When shite gets crazy with kids, etc., i can see how its possible that someone forgets the baby is in the back. Especially if the baby is sleeping and you are mentally distracted.

If you have something on your mind for work or something, and your wife calls you as you are about to leave to go to the babysitter, but end up driving to work because you are distracted. For me, its robotic as you get out and go in to where you work.

I haven't left my kid in the car or anything, not even close really, but damn, this kind of story terrifies and depresses me more than makes me want to hurt the parents. I would have a hard time living with myself if something like this happened to my child because of me.
