Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation; or An act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm.

Not checking on your children after the house alarm indicates a breach, not once, but twice...I think this qualifies.

The two boys should be removed from that home immediately, whether DW did it or not.

These parents COULD HAVE prevented this disaster from happening, if only their love for their children was as deep as their love of hedonistic pleasures.

I'm sure you know that the parents, who've not been charged with or convicted of a crime associated with the death of their child cannot be held liable for for the criminal aka homicidal act of another.

You and I would have checked. This probaby going to cause flames..BUT let it be known it's not BAIT. A lack of common sense is not a crime. :( Does not checking equate with those parents who don't bother to install a home security monitoring system? Their system wasn't even turned on. They only had the chirps/door and window motion signals on. What if they didn't utilize the system as an alarm system? that's the way the testimony was given...they didnt' use it as an alarm. SO if they didn't...can you still blame them?

Jimmy Ryce's parents could have met him at the bus stop, he would be alive today. Throw them in jail?

Adam Walsh's mother coul'd have kept him by her side at the store, instead of leaving him in the toy department alone. Should she be in jail?

The woman last week whose son drowned in a swimming pool in Miami should have been watching him instead of doing dishes. Guilty?
