Yes, but the beating on the negligent mom started BEFORE we knew about “3x before”.

[Chanticleer]

I know. I've been on these threads before, and I usually take a whipping.

I have four kids whom I love dearly. I also know my husband and I have made mistakes along the way, and I thank God that none of our mistakes have ever cost us the health or wellbeing of our children. There but for the grace of God go I.

(But not leaving your child intentionally in the car in the heat -- that's a different story entirely.)
