I applaud the mother for standing up and taking responsibility for this loss.

Please, get a job with real day care (rather than getting hooked into a pyramid scheme again).

It is a shame that she is being charged for this. I am sure she is a good mother that just made a terrible mistake. She is not a criminal. How about a little compassion and mercy?

First of all, I want to tell the family that I am very sorry for their loss and the struggles that they have had to endure. I do hope that they will be able to find some peace and that they can forgive each other and mostly themselves. I was surprised to read that there were charges posted, not to say that there was not neglect, but people do not shut the car door, knowing a young child is inside and go and do what they want and let a child suffer. Reality is, this mother and those that have done this in the past, were thinking about other things and were not focused. There is a crime that is much worse than this, and that is physical and sexual child abuse, when this happens, the parent knows what they are doing and choosing to do that. To this mother, please please please, let your heart heal, to those that post, be kind be gentle, she is suffering enough pain, I hope that this mother has a mom that can reach out and love her, and one day she will be able to reach out and love this baby.

Network Marketing is too important to remember your child, makes sense. Too busy for the kids with some serious network marketing going on....innocent of network marketing!

She almost got away with the whole thing, I bet she is bummed to get 18 months probation.

Finally, someone who accepts responsibility for their actions.

More of us need to do that, instead of making excuses for our actions.

KSL reveals that neither Hadley nor the person she was visiting in Layton chose to call 911; this failure to seek professional assistance may have helped influence the Davis County Attorney to file charges under the presumption that paramedic assistance might have saved the child's life. This might well be a valid presumption, considering the baby lingered three days before passing on.

There is no excuse

There is no longer any excuses for leaving your child in a car when we have all known for ages that it is not safe for child, man or any animal. How many should we lose before it is stuck in the brain to take in your child before you worry about the food that can be replaced? Number 1 is the infant that depends on you!

While I agree with the judge questioning whether she should have been charged with anything in the first place, it appears to me that the agreement they came to satisfies the needs of both justice and mercy.

Kudos to the judge for voicing his concerns and his compassion for the mother and the surviving family. Kudos to the prosecution for not going on a witch hunt for once. Kudos to the unfortunate mother for not making excuses. Kudos to the press for what appears to be accurate reporting.

It's a good reminder to this total skeptic that occasionally the government and even the judges actually get it right. THANK YOU, JUDGE ALLPHIN, for looking to mete out justice AND mercy instead of just looking to make an example out of someone (or a name for yourself). Thank you for not repeating the case of the poor father who left his son in the truck while hunting a few years ago (I forget the name of the guy who ended up committing suicide after that abomination of a judge made that wretched decision).

Thanks for bearing your testimony.

This story is not new. How many times as parents do we read or hear stories of people leaving children in cars and they die! We know it is important to let your child sleep and how they can get grouchy if they dont get a nap or wake up before its time.

Being 5 months old it is not that difficult to grap the carrier and bring the baby with you and they can sleep where you are.

These are the decisions we make as a parent. the child comes first. It doesnt matter if your running for 30 seconds or 5 minutes, Bring the baby with you.

Death is the biggest travesty, also what if your baby was kidnapped.

My heart goes out to that mother and I hope that the Husband can forgive his wife

My heart bleeds for their loss.

No one can judge in a situation such as this one. A tragic mistake, but one that any mother or father could have made. Part of the tragedy is that our criminal laws are not meant to handle situations where there is no criminal intent. My heart goes out to the mother.

I know Judge Allphin and he is a very wise man. I think he handled this case exactly right. I am so glad that we still have Judges that have integrity and are very wise in the rulings they make because as we all know all judges are not created equal. Thanks Judge Allphin.

First of all, you don't leave a baby in a hot car. To mojules! the child is dead!! How is that not serious enough to get charged with neglect! And she went to her friends house, I am sure she knew it was a hot day! DON'T LEAVE YOUR KIDS IN HOT CARS PEOPLE!!!!

Fire the Judge!!!!!

For those of you that have never burned something because the phone rang and it was an old friend and you forgot to turn the stove off. Or put antifreese in the window washer. Or went to church and you thought your spouse had the 3 year old and she thought the same and she was taking a nap. Or backed into your other car because your teenager parked it wrong and you were in a hurry. Or forgot to feed the dog thinking someone else had. Or your children ran off and got lost at Walmart and you had to announce over the PA. Having many children and adopting even more and being a foster parent for 20+ years I have seen good and bad. This one is not bad. We took a foster child that was left in a park because everyone else thought they had the 3 year old. These were not bad people.

This lady will be punished for the rest of her life. She took responsibiltiy more than most of us would. Those of you that have never done any thing stupid may chime in and critize. If not leave her alone please.

I don't understand how you can grow a baby give birth love them care for them and then forget about them in a car.
We all have stupid days we all misplace something here and there... but how can you forget about a child?
I do feel bad for thier loss... but I don't feel bad for thier forgeting...
PLEASE DON"T LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN OR PETS IN CARS!!!!

Everyone just read Matthew 7:1-2.

You do not forget your Childern, or leave them in Cars. I do not care if the tragedy is going to remain with you the rest of your life, you still need to do Jail Time. A human being died for No Reason and Suffered a very slow painful Death. A child lost his life and his future. Because his mother was to busy to take care of him. This has nothing to do judement or being judgemental, just pure and simple fairness and justice for all. Who repersented the Childs Interest in this, who defeded his right to life and proper care.

Well, this is a sad situation. However, this was child abuse that ended in death. Probation is appropriate only after a prison sentence. If she is a sorry as she claims, then she should have asked for the maximum sentence. Accident or not, her baby will still be dead in 18 months. I am sure if a babysitter had left her baby to die in a hot car, this mother would have gone to the ends of the earth to get justice for her child. Justice was not served in this case. The judge and prosecutors should be as ashamed as the mother should feel. What a miscarriage.

Until you walk a mile in her shoes, you'll never know what was going on that day.

Tragic, tragic mistake. Let's hope the day we make a mistake and it makes the front page news that people are just as "kind" as they are being here.

Poor woman. She looks like she has aged 30 years in one beat.

For all you that want to judge this mother,don't you ever ever make a mistake, ever. Things have a way of getting back to those who judge!.

The bottom line is the baby is dead. It's a tragic mistake, but there's not a lot of people that don't have things going on in their lives, and the fact that she still made excuses makes me think this wasn't the first time she had done this.

This was a tragedy, but let's not forget that the vast majority of kids and pets left in cars for a few minutes are just fine, even on relatively hot days. Obviously, two hours was two long in this case, but that doesn't mean I want the stink-eye from people when I run into the quickie mart and leave my kid buckled in.

Man you have some nerve, how can you judge the situation? I think justice was served and will be for the rest of her life, this is something that she will have to deal with everyday of her life. What would have prison done? It would have screwed up the mothers life and probably her other children's if their mother was in prison, like you said the baby would still be dead in 18 months, well it would still be dead after she was in prison as well. Nothing the law can do will bring her child back so the puishment of having to deal with that for the rest of her life is more that I would ever want to have to bear myself.
I think the judge was right on!

For those of you that are so ready to judge, Only you know all the wrongs you've ever committed in your lifetime and yet keep them to yourselves!! Lets just put your laundry out to dry for everyone to see and judge. I'm willing to bet you'd of "been stoned to death" a long long time ago by people like yourselves!! She pleaded guilty...your turn cowards!!! We all have some paying up to do when it comes to our wrong doing. Thing is, there's heartless people like you out there with no compassion or forgiveness enough to realize when to see someone as Jesus would. The Adversary would have it that way though, so i'll pray for you too! I hope you cross her path some day, there's probably nothing she wouldn't do for you, your kids or your family!Kamilyn...you are loved!! That's all that matters. Your baby misses you and can't wait to be with you again! XOXOX

This poor mother might be a lot of things but I am certain that she is not 'A good mother' as a lot have said on here. If she WAS a good mother her child would be alive today!!

To those of you who are being so critical regarding Mrs. Hadley, would your attitude or opinion change if she were a relative of somebody you admire? Would it change if she were a good friend of a loved-one? I don't personally know Kamilyn, but I have met her. She is my mission president's daughter-in-law. She is a good friend of my mother-in-law. Those that know her have the utmost respect and love for her. As many of you, I have a hard time understanding how those events could have transpired that day. But they did. She somehow forgot she had her child with her that day and paid the ultimate price. I know for many of you it is awfully convenient to hide behind the anonymity of the internet and lash out harsh criticism on a person you've never met or a situation you didn't witness. I'm not asking for people to understand. I don't understand. All I'm asking is to remember that Kamilyn is a real person who is dealing with the consequences of a mistake that is more heart wrenching than anything you people could ever imagine. Show some compassion please.

Thank you Aaron for your comment. I do know Kamilyn personally and watching her on TV last night broke my heart. She truly is suffering enough. I won't say I disagree with the charges because I think if anyone is a good example to show that this could happen to any of us it's Kamilyn. I have been in her home and seen her with her children and there is no doubt in my mind that she was a great mother. I saw the joy in her eyes when little Daniel was born and I can see the pain as she realizes that because of neglect her son is gone. I too used to think as some of you do...how could a loving mother just forget her child. I thought it when the 18 month old was left in the car in April and figured she must be chemically unbalanced or on drugs or something. When this happened to Kamilyn I realized that this could very easily have happened to me and it has made me more attentive and aware of what my son may be doing. Perhaps that is the purpose for all...to learn!! Your in my prayers Kamilyn!
