Authorities said the boy's mother left him asleep in the back seat of her car with the engine running while she went inside a store to buy juice She so failed the basic protection clause of being a parent. So sad I am shaking here.

She so failed the basic protection clause of being a parent. So sad I am shaking here. Perhaps I'm a failure too, then. I can understand her reasoning: it's cold, kid's asleep in the car, so leave it running so that the heater will stay on.....
Had it been me, I'd have turned the car off and locked the doors. In retrospect, the lady made a bad error. Personally, I blame the thief/murderer, but maybe that's just me.

I think the blame falls on the guy who stole the car and (presumably) left the boy to die...
I don't leave my kids alone in the car, but I understand it's not an unusual thing to do in some places.

It's *possible*, though unlikely IMO, that the thief never knew the kid was there. Even if that was the case, the charge ought to be 1st-degree murder, with the guy driving the other vehicle being an accessory to murder.

The mom is going to spend the rest of her life regretting her decision, but the thief is the criminal who is responsible for the child's death.

Don't ever leave your young child in the car alone. I've been tempted alright, believe me, come very close-- but it's clearly not worth it. I personally know someone who did something quite similar to the mother in this one and had her car stolen with her infant inside. Luckily, that one turned out okay when the thief ditched the car after seeing the infant inside it.
To: SmithL
I will never understand how anyone can be that cruel.
