re: Michigan: Mom accidentally locks 2 month old in car; 911 dispatcher refuses to send help

Someone drives drunk and gets in a wreck, but everyone has seat belts and nobody hurt - big mistake clearly but not "unforgivable".

Exact same wreck / scenario but person in other car is not wearing seatbelt, gets thrown from car and dies. Gonna make it a lot tougher to forgive that person.

A more apt analogy would be if the driver in each scenario was doing this in the line of duty, like the 911 dispatcher was. In this case the driver would most certainly lose his job as should the 911 dispatcher.
