Woman Leaves Her Toddler in Car for 8 Hours on Hot Day While at Work, Child Dies, She's Not Charged

Could one find a clearer example of gender bias and the female sentencing discount than this? Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby is not being charged with any crime. Let's review:

1) Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby left her toddler daughter in her car (in heat which reached 100 degrees) for eight hours while she worked.

2) According to police, the dead girl, Cecelia Nesselroad-Slaby, had been left in a hot car on at least three other occasions.

3) Security video shows that Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby was able to remember (twice) to unload the doughnuts she brought for meetings at her job, but nevertheless left her daughter in her car seat. The event is pictured.

4) According to press reports, she previously "had been told by a former administrator at her 5-year-old daughter's preschool that the younger sister shouldn't be left in the car by herself."

5) Clermont County prosecutor Don White, who will not be prosecuting Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby, was asked whether the woman's other daughter--the 5-year-old who she hasn't killed yet--should be allowed to remain in the family's home. He actually replied--with a straight face on national television--"I have no reason to believe that she won't take care of this child."

No Charges After Toddler Died In Car Associated Press, 9/4/07

BATAVIA, Ohio - No charges will be filed against a middle school administrator whose toddler daughter died last month when she was left in the back seat of her mother's SUV during a heat wave, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

Leaving the child in the car for the work day was "a substantial lapse of due care" but did not meet the definition of reckless conduct necessary for prosecution, said Clermont County Prosecutor Don White.

Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby, 40, is assistant principal at Glen Este Middle School, about 20 miles east of Cincinnati. Authorities said she left her 2-year-old daughter, Cecilia, strapped into a car seat for about eight hours on Aug. 23 while she was at work at the school.

Temperatures outside reached about 100 degrees.

“Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby”

The three name rule. Not guilty. Liberal.

Another "working mother" forgot to take her dog-- er, baby to the kiddie kennel.

Another baby is dead.

Ambiguously worded.

Did she return to her car twice that day to retrieve donuts while her daughter was inside the car the whole time - or are they referring to previous incidents in which she removed donuts from a car with no child in it?

It makes a big difference.

Totally guilty IMO. Other child ought to be removed from her care asap. Shaking my head again...

YOu again with abother Women are evil thread.

Make no mistake, selfish men who shirk their responsibilities as fathers are no less evil than women who selfishly outsource theirs as mothers.

I sometimes wonder how many stay-at-home moms have ever unintentionally left a child in a car all day.

I am not saying this mother was not wrong.

The thread's poster always posts threads that are "women are evil" type threads and rarely posts on his own thread.

Almost all threads posted are written by Glen Sacks, but when confronted, the poster, (Mr. Sacks??) stays silent.

Video shows she returned FIVE times to her care, even moving it once, never noticing her dead/dying child.

You are absolutely correct.
I do not understand how she could not be charged with endangerment.
We have heard how traumatized the mother is but what about the suffering the child went through.

There should be an investigation on Don White, as to why he feels this woman did not commit a crime.

Sick, sick, sick. There's a current case of a cop in Arizona leaving his K-9 in a hot car for approx. 11 hours and the dog died, and he's now being prosecuted.

I wonder if this prosecutor knows her, or her family.

I lived in the area at the time this occurred. If my memory of the occurrence is correct I believe that her husband was a high-powered well-known attorney within the Cincinnati Court system. I have researched other occurrences similar occurrences within the area and it just goes to show that it pays to know someone. I doubt that a poor mother would have gotten the same treatment.
