Dear god, that woman is studying to become a nurse? What happens when she gets her nursing degree? Is any hospital going to actually hire her? She shouldn't be allowed to be around vulnerable people, especially children.

The same thing happened where I live just recently, unfortunately:

Somebody at [livejournal.com profile] childfree reported about a mother that drove while totally bombed out on medication of some kind (sleeping pills), killed a father as well as his two young children, and she was only sentenced to two fricking months:

Hmmm... not sure what to think of that story. I'm too distracted by the advocating of torture and death penalty in the reply to it.

Yes. Exactly. Perhaps a little too.... vehement for the circumstances. It's not like she left her daughter in a hot car so she could go shoot up.

BTW: I was left in cars so much as a kid, I should be completely brain-dead from heat. Oddly, I am not. It's a risk; the mom just assessed it completely wrong, not being familiar with Atlanta's "let's boil an egg on the windshield" summer and fall weather.

Remind me never go to the hospital she works at. O_o Christ. A normal kid's parents would have gotten jail. I really don't think it's a coincidence she left her in there.

This happens ALL TOO OFTEN. Last summer, here in Boise, a woman forgot to drop her 2 month old infant off at daycare, because she was distracted by a cell phone call. That poor baby was left in the car to die while the woman was at work. :(

We've had another instance of this where the child was noticed before it was too late, thank goodness. And 2 years ago, the security guys where I work spotted a child left in a hot car in our parking lot, and busted them. They got convicted of felony injury to a child.

Also, I hear about this kind of thing happening all over the country, especially in Flori-duh.

As a mother myself...you don't WANT to know MY opinion. That's one part of me that isn't so liberal...
