Those innocent children. It’s mind boggling.
I’m not in any way cutting her a break, she should be prosecuted, etc. But, I’m sure what happened is she thought they would be ok (she’s probably not the smartest bulb in the chandalier) and when she discovered they were dead, she panicked, and tried to hide them. I suspect she does indeed feel regret that they died.
None of that (to me) means she shouldn’t be prosecuted, but I can see how it happened. And she should never ever be allowed to have another child to endanger.

The problem is that too often child care is not affordable. So low-income working mothers are forced into this type of situation, taking their small children to work and leaving them in the car.
Women in these situations need to give up their children to foster care or adoption so that higher-income people can raise the children.
There’s a lot of information about this incident at the following link:

You are, of course, kidding me.
Right?
You got me good on this one.

it sure would help if daddy would stick around.
What the hell is happening to our country?
So what the hell did the SCOTUS approve abortions?
America is in a downward spiral, thanks to all libs!!!
To: Scotswife: Well, if the father leaves, what do you suggest should be done?
The most rational solution is probably this: children ought to be taken out of custody of single working mothers earning less than a living wage, and put in foster homes or given to adoption agencies.
That way, situations like these won’t arise.

I wasn’t trying to dispute what you said, I’m just making an observation.
This past month I’ve been reading heartbreaking story after heartbreaking story.
And the common denominator in most cases is that dads aren’t sticking around.
When dad leaves - terrible things happen.
Where is the father?
The federal government has all types of paid child care for low income people.
This story doesn’t smell quite right. I can see a 1 year old, but 4 year olds can get themselves out of car seats and out of cars. I’m not sure I’m buying her story.
Man, talk about your nanny government! Sound soviet to me.
“The federal government has all types of paid child care for low income people.”
If you’re making extremely low income, there’s sometimes government-subsidised child care available. But if you’re making moderately low income, you are often in a bind. You lose the paid child care, but you don’t make enough to afford private child care.
We have a bingo!
