And it wasn't intentional. It was pure stupidity.
She should be sterilized if she is allowed to live.
I have never once forgotten about my child being in the car... asleep or not. Part of what I think has made me an excellent parent is that I am always, somewhere in my mind, thinking about my children.
Even now, my daughter's daycare is less than 10 minutes away on foot. I look at the clock and wonder how she is. In the car, I have a little mirror that is aligned so I can see her face when she is in her car seat. We can talk, I can keep an eye on her... it's invaluable.
I agree with ruksak about that kind of nightmare, but someone died in this case. There was a homicide.
And it was a child killed by his own mother. I doubt she'll get the death penalty, as her attorney will try to show that her own anguish is punishment enough.
But she will go to jail... probably 5 to 10, with parole on good behavior.
I hate to be stereotypical, but a mommy who works at Hooters that is dumb enough to forget her baby? Probably white trash. I hope she doesn't make the same mistake again... or that they put her in jail until menopause. |
I agree, I can't imagine forgetting your kid under any circumstances. Surely she should have thought of him at some point during the day, and then it would have gone off like a lightbulb, "I left him in the car", then panic and running for the car immediately.
Moments after she walked into the building something should have felt "wrong". We do have these inner alarm clocks.
She needs to go to jail for being that stupid. That sounds mean, but she is a dumbass.
I've heard of people doing stuff like this, but it just doesn't sit well that you could be that self involved. She probably had the radio on full blast, and was totally unaware of the kid. I constantly was watching my kids in the rearview mirror when they were young. I never had them off my mind. Nothing was as important as they were. I thought of them throughout the day at work. This woman never thought about this kid all day.
