This was homicide, treat it as such.

How can you just forget leaving a child in a car or at home etc. If you have brought a child in to this world you then should take DAAM care of that child!!! i dont think she should be put into prison but she should be kept well away from her other children so she want do the same mistake again.

Give the poor mom a break!! Everyone is so quick to judge, they don't know the circumstances with which she forgot her child. Perhaps some emotional trauma or terrible experience had taken place just before the incident.

Instead of reporting a child alone in the grocery store parking lot, stand by the car and make sure the kid is okay-- is this judgement of people about condemning a mom who made a poor decision that one moment in time or the safety of a child?

YOU judgemental people: why don't you offer to help a struggling mother carry her children into the store instead of reporting her?

This woman has suffered enough in the death of her child. Any time or momey spent procecuting her is misdirected.
