Okay....I just watched this goofy lawyer of those parents who left their baby to die in the hot car.  He says that the two cases, this one and the one with the black nursey worker, don't even compare.  He says she KNEW she was responsible for those little kids. It's the law.  My problem is, she knew she was responsible, but the parents aren't I guess?  If they aren't who was?  Was it her fault? Did she get in that car by herself?  That mother knew she hadn't dropped her off at the sitter's.  If she was calling her husband to park her car, why did she not inform him she had taken the baby yet, and if she hadn't, why was she worried about parking her car yet?  He's not guilt free, but I see it as she is the most at fault.  Whether there was criminal intent or not, a little person died, and someone should assume responsibilty for it.  These parents are not little kids who can just use the age old excuse of, "I didn't do it...or I didn't know". I didn't let my own kids off with BS excuses like that!  This just infuriates me! 

One time a deputy came by here and accused me of neglect of one of my dogs cause at that time, he had run out of water. I had not done the chores yet at this time, but she wouldn't hear of it. She was going to press charges for animal abuse!  I take very good care of my animals, but I was going to be arrested!  How is this something worse than the death of a child?  BTW, my dog didn't die either!!

The Day Care worker is completely in the wrong and should be charged and found guilty of neglect. This was her job and clearly she did not do it correctly. I would have locked her away for many, many years. The other parents were not charged and SHOULD NOT have been charged. The father did not know there was an infant in the car, had no reason to check the back seat and did nothing wrong. In their case this was a complete and unfortunate accident. This is not a race issue and I am so sick of hearing from the NAACP and stupid, uneducated morons like Sharpton and that stupid reverend on TV. Get a life!! The NAACP does nothing good, should be stopped and is an institution that does MORE harm than good. Black people need to get a life and worry about themselves and stop playing the race card and acting as victims. This is PATHETIC!!!

Those parents will have to live with the fact that their daughter is dead, they will think about it every minute of every day of their lives, you dont think thats punishment enough??

As far as the day care worker, that was her job, she got paid to keep her eyes on those kids. If she does her probation and community service and etc.. she will have nothing on her record. She is lucky that that baby didnt die.

I agree that the day care worker should be charged, it was her job & she should have double checked the van. I believe that the parents are guilty of miscommunication & they will have to live with that for the rest of their lives.
Personally, I don't see how he could not have seen or known that his child was in there, but since I wasn't there, who knows?

Well, it's St. Louis after all. EVERYTHING, somehow, has to involve race.

Anyway, I believe this is a biased question.

MISS COMMUNICATION ?????? WHO PUT THE BABY IN THE CAR????? DID SHE DO THIS BY HERSELF???
NO ! ! ! !
THE PARENTS DID THIS, SO HOW ON GOD'S EARTH DID THEY GET BY WITH SAYING IT IS AN ACCIDENT

NO THE CASES ARE DIFFERENT THE DAY CARE WORKER NEEDS CHARGED BUT SO DOES THE MOTHER OF THIS CHILD.

I cannot believe what I am reading . I am sure a couple of you are parents . Yes I agree to have the thought of your daughter dead b/c of your actions is a huge punishment , but do you honestly think that guilt is punishment ? The bottom line is the PARENTS (not one or the other) are responsible for that child . If you produce a human life on this planet , it is your responsibilty to communicate with your partner to make sure the baby has been dropped off . I didn't know ? WHO in there right mind let's somebody off on that excuse , and that's what is an excuse !

Not even neglect charges? Amazing.
Is this a sign of things to come?
Is this a new way of thinging for a new generation or moms and dads?

I can just hear it now....
Sorry officer I couldnt put my baby in a carseat cause I had to hook up my Ipod
sorry I couldnt keep the baby away from the pool cause I was too busy texting my BFF
I would have kept the baby away from that bottle of bleach but I was just too darn stressed over the mytube debates
And thanks to Brittany we have already heard this one, sorry I almost dropped my baby on his head but I trying to party

ILguy-

Right on. You are exactly RIGHT!

Yes. Miscommunication. I did NOT say that that wasn't neglect. Clearly their priority was not their child.
I said in my earlier comment that I don't know how he could have NOT known his child was in that car.
However, the authorities have decided not to charge them. They will still have to live with the fact that their selfish actions cost a child it's life.

I am extremely confused and amazed at how some people are pretending to be surprised by the Wash U family not being charged. Really think about it, be honest with yourselves. Some of us really know that there is 2 types of justice. The haves and have nots and the complexion connection.

Well, these people were doing the kinds of important things people who work at Wash U as doctors and scientists do during their busy day: Tennis.

I know. I worked there.

She probably had an important government NHI grant to write that morning, also!

When you're minds are on great things like a morning tennis match or another big grant and the resulting bonus, you don't have time to think about something trivial like your kids!

Cuzz, USF, Sik, Gram---
You people need to read something besides blogs before you start spouting your OPINIONS. Nothing any of you have said revolve around the FACTS of either situation.
There are educated arguments and then there's just people spouting hateful, ill-informed, opinions. You all fall into the later category.
Look up the cases. Educate yourselves and then present your arguments.
Cuzz---maybe you should look under a rock, there might be some books there you could read. Obviously, you don't know any of the facts of this case.

I have looked at the facts........the fact is they were too wrapped up in their own lives to take the time to think about what was the most important!! Explain it to me what's so uneducated about what I have blogged about, and what is it you know that makes you so much more informed, 2boys. I was never so into myself that I forgot my children! They were and ARE my life!

Also, what educated fact will explain anything to a little dead baby?

2boys4me---

I believe the word is latter not later. Latter is the second of two or the second mentioned of two, later refers to time. Perhaps you too should look under a rock, there might be some books (preferable a dictionary) there you could read.

Since you seem to have all the facts, perhaps you can educate the rest of us.

DDDS, I believe you meant "preferably a dictionary" not "preferable."
Let's not get into typos; I'm an adult.

Given that you have no clue how very close to this case I am---you're right, you don't know where I'm getting all my facts.
You might have more if you bothered to look up the case, or the many cases like it, on-line.
While you're at it, look up "LEGAL PRECEDENTS" and maybe you'll learn more about why Joyce couldn't bring charges.
