Do you know what a hideous death that child suffered? And for what?
My guess, and who knows the truth, is that this was not a moral error, he did not decide to bake his child, he made an egregious mistake.
It is not an ethical error.
Day care did not kill this child, he could have been dropping the baby at Grandmother's house.
I know the death was hideous, I am not retarded. And the death was for no reason, it served no purpose and my best guess knowing what I know is that is did not occur from malice, evil or intent.
It was a tragic error. The kind of error that parents make and children suffer from. If you are so full of hubris that you assume you would never make a serious error that would result in someone's death or injury, I think you are in serious error.
Every parent who has a child is at risk of a lapse that results in harm to a child. Most try their damnest not to have it happen but it does. And it is tragic.
Okay, what does this family do?
Mom is a paralegal, works 60-70 hours a week, dad is starting up his own contracting company. They are dependant on mom's salary for steady income and her job for health care.
Two children come along; mom cuts back to 40 hours, nine to five, knows that means no promotions, limited pay raises. She calls it "princess hours".
They live in Dallas, own their own home (two bedrooms, the children share, even though dad's a contractor, can't afford to add on). Drive two 10 year old cars, but are in a close in neighborhood that shortens commutes.
Who should quit to stay home? Dad, and give up the business he's started and maybe lose the home b/c they cannot pay the mortgage? Or mom? And lose health care and a steady income?
