Serious topic
I'd like to get your thoughts on a recent tragedy that has been in our local papers. We live in a very hot climate--we've had over 100 degrees for over two weeks now. Every year, several kids die when they are inadvertently left in the car. We had our first of the year on Sunday, when a devoted father and hight school teacher changed his morning routine and forgot to drop the baby at the sitters. He was in the car all day and while he was still alive when found after eight hours, died that night.
So far the parents have not been prosecuted in these cases, but this case is being referred to the DA.
In my opinion, this man had no criminal intent. Prosecution and jail time would not send a message that we need to pay more attention to our kids. This man knew that already; it was a mistake. But, people are ready to stone him.
What do you think?
