Thanks for the comparison with the Vick case.
I simply want someone to explain to me why the laws against NEGLECT resulting in DEATH do not apply in the cases of these babies left to roast to death in cars.
I’m sure people who leave their pets in hot cars love them, but their love doesn’t protect them from being charged with neglect and animal abuse.
Is a helpless, strapped-in, baby more important than a pet or not? Surely the law applies here in some fashion!

Why is this form of neglect beyond some kind of legal punishment?
Why do so many want it to be?

The "laws" telling parents to put their kids facing backward in the seats behind them are clearly resulting in babies roasting to death in cars. I want someone to explain to me why do-gooder nanny-staters NEGLECT to consider it.
