Depends on whether the crack addict did something to create the dangerous situation, other than forget. Like having a pipe or two and going into a stupor for six hours while her kids baked in a quite different manner.

Otherwise, if you're just saying "crack addict" to make her less sympathetic as a defendant, you could just as easily have said, "Would you prosecute him for forgetting his baby in the car --- if he were a child molester?"
