However, those who are guilty of more than just forgetfulness (see my drunk mom leaving kid in car post above) should get more than a sympathy card from the prosecutor. And I assume you feel differently about those who are guilty of sheer stupidity - those who claim they thought it would be OK to leave baby in the car in 100 degree heat ("just for a few minutes") on purpose?
