They should be able to charge her, but there is the consideration of the medical problems this baby had. Depending on why she stopped breathing, there may have been little they could really do to keep her alive, so that would play into the negligence. In any case, that woman is a cold hearted bitch and deserves all she gets and more. I do hope this is not the end of it. Losing a job does not begin to get justice.

Since they didn’t bother to show up there is no way to prove there was nothing to be done, now is there?
“Depending on why she stopped breathing, there may have been little they could really do to keep her alive, so that would play into the negligence.”
A buddy of mine started off as a volunteer firefighter, and his now the fire chief of a large suburban department. He said it was always hard going on a call for a heart-attack or something if the person had not already been getting CPR by a family member or someone. It was very rare that they would survive if the first person to give them CPR was the responder.
He said often the people were probably already dead, but they would do CPR until the aid car came, put them in the van and medic would continue the treatment to the hospital, and let the doctors declare the patient dead.
One -You never know - maybe you DID get there in time.
Two - let the medical professional make the expert decision.
Three - you don’t have to explain to the grieving family member that their loved one has died.
Several times they would get calls with the person found unresponsive in bed. Stone cold. But they would go through the motions - mainly for the third reason.
