This is becoming a way to kill your children with minimum or zero prison time.

This tragedy is becoming more and more commonplace. I'll bet the mother's excuse will be "Let's see you take two sqwawling brats into the beauty shop."

She must have gotten a pretty fancy doo if it took three hours.
Some people are simply too stupid to be trusted to raise children.

Police did not release the 25-year-old Detroit resident's name. And you get one guess why.

Whatever jail time she ends up getting, I sure hope the judge orders her to get a hysterectomy too, unless she won't be getting out until well after menopause.

"Murder" - ?
At worst, accidental manslaughter; but the prosecutor must be running for higher office, and using the stretch of prosecutorial discretion to see how far they can get.

BITCH!

According to the story, the DA's office hasn't even seen it yet. This sounds like an overzealous cop.
But you're right. It wasn't murder. It was whatever the Michigan equivalent to reckless homicide is.

There was nothing "accidental" about leaving children in a car knowing that you are getting your hair done- murder certainly fits here.

And I was worried about leaving my dog in the car--parked in the shade with all the windows down about four inches-- for 10 minutes.

How a mother, and I use the phrase reservedly, could leave a 10-month old alone in a car for 3 hours is completely beyond me. I live in MI - the past couple of weeks have been beastly hot.
May that woman never give birth again.

Even if true, this is a race-blind problem.
Here in Southern California we've had two beauts over the past year (and others).
One was a lady who left her child (or was it two kids?) in the car after driving home,
went inside, passed out and awoke to realize she'd fried the kid(s). Stupidity and about
two bottles of wine were to blame. Her melanin-challenged status had nothing to do with it.
Court let her off with probation.
We also got to witness a modestly prosperous lady (from India? adjoining countries?)
get caught on camera when a policeman was busting open her van (with wilted kids inside). She got charged as well (don't know the outcome).
It's not color; it's stupidity and often substance abuse.

This pig deserves no less than a nice bullet to the back of her head!

Even if true, this is a race-blind problem. Yes, I know. My problem with this is not that she's (probably) black, it's that the Detroit Police Department is withholding the name because they don't want anyone who happens to be black to look bad. That's reverse racism, it's preferential treatment for one race over all others, and it's wrong.
