What a dolt
Look at her story closely and you’ll realize she made a number of really bad decisions in her young life.
I understand this was a common practice a hundred years ago.
Now, it is beyond irresponsible.
She was from a different culture where leaving a sleeping baby outside in a stroller is perfectly acceptable.
A very poorly written article.
I guess it’s kinda like leaving your dog outside. As long as you can see him, right? Perhaps you can get away with that in Denmark, but in NYC? probably not. What right does she have to sue anyone?
First of all, she was a baby, not an it.
Second of all, it doesnt matter what the laws or customs were in a foreign country. The United States is a sovereign nation, with our own set of laws.
And last, but not least, whats safe in one environment, is not necessarily safe in another. Would you leave your baby unattended in an environment frequented by alligators? Why would you leave a baby unattended in an area known to be frequented by predators? Having a good view of the resulting bloodbath wont bring the baby back.
I'll bet you wouldn't now. Unless you're even dumber than this article makes you seem to be.
The woman is an idiot, but the untold story is that what was acceptable parenting 25 or 30 years ago may now get you a visit from law enforcement or family services.
Hell- Casey Anthony left her baby drugged and in the trunk of her car while she went to have sex with a man in his apartment while her baby died either from drug overdose, or suffocation or something- and she was found ‘not guilty’
This is her big claim to fame, so she thinks.
The lady has been complaining about this incident for the past 20 years, and still has not let it go.
Her daughter probably grew up hearing the story over and over.
She could finish her mom’s sentences for her if it’s about this one incident. “Yes, Mother, you were thrown in jail just because of me. I’m sorry. Oh, I think we already discussed that day at least three times this morning, and it’s not even Nine O’Clock yet.”
If she ever does get enough money to translate the book into English, she may want to change the title.
‘The Worm in the Apple”, does not sound like anything I care to know more about.
“When she and Wardlaw decided to grab a drink at a Dallas BBQ in the East Village, she did what she would have done back home. She left little Liv outside sleeping in her stroller.”
Her greatest mistake was eating at the Dallas BBQ in the East Village.
I did that once.
Never again.
Heck, I would leave my kid in a stroller in front of a Lower East Side Crack House before I would eat their again.
I’ve been in law enforcement since 1975, and everybody has a story. Everybody in prison is absolutely innocent.
I believe it is still common in Scandinavian countries to let babies nap outside within sight if not reach of mom or dad. So I understand how she might have thought she could follow the custom here.
People as stupid as this woman should be made to pass a test: Make a sentence out of these three words, “hare’’, ‘’hunter’’, field’’. If they can’t then they shouldn’t be allowed to have kids. (the answer is “The hare was shot by the hunter in the field’’.)
