Best interests of the child vs parental beliefs

Rrrraven · 11-01-2011, 10:48 PM

It looks like the medical opinion is that the child could have been saved if emergency services had been called. Looks like a clear cut case of negligence on the parent's part. I am happy to see justice served in this case. In my experience too many parents get off with a slap on the hand or no charges filed because either there is not enough evidence, no witnesses, or no one believes that a parent would hurt their child. Law enforcement and child protective services investigate but all too often the prosecutor may not feel the case is strong enough to win.

Lots of people get away with murder/manslaughter, it seems especially heinous when the creator of that life is the one responsible for it's loss.
