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

[Commander8]

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."

[Dog Gone]

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.

[Timesink]

Police did not release the 25-year-old Detroit resident's name.

And you get one guess why.

[Timesink]

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.

[auggy]

BITCH!

[Catspaw]

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.

[mombonn]

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.

[gilor]

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

[Sally II]

My God, I don't know a single person who would even consider leaving their 10 month old unattended for two minutes! What was she thinking? That the three year old could take care of things? That is just nuts!

[hoosierham]

Let's see, she knowingly and deliberately placed two defenseless children in a hot oven for three hours, sounds like murder in the second degree at least. Of course if she had just killed these babies BEFORE they were born, there would be no problem !!!

Do you abortion rights types begin to see where the demeaning of infanticide has lead ?

[itzmygun]

Woman drowns kids in bathtub, Parents use cattleprod on kids, Man AND Woman sexually abuse 12-year-old daughter...

We need to change the 8th amendment:

"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted (except in cases of physical crimes against children - then, go all out and by all means feel free to use your imagination).

[Squantos]

Well your just full of good news today..... what are you reading the Detroit Free Press ? Doo Wayne kill's his kids on that other thread and this "mother" cook's her's...........

Stay Safe !

[trussell]

This is totally absurd. How could a mother leave her children alone in a hot car for three hours, and not have the God given sense to at least check on them.

I will not leave my babies alone in a car even for 1 minute.

[Ole Okie]

Remember the story of Handel and Gristle (ok, Hansel and Gretel)?

What was it the wicked witch was going to do to them? Cook them, as I remember. But the witch got the tables turned on her, which seemed to be appropriate justice to me when I was a child.

I can think of no more gruesome thing than to leave a child in a car on a hot day with the windows rolled up. Murder two, at least.

[biblewonk]

I wonder if this stupid wench is smart enough to flunk an IQ test about now.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

I can already see NOW's response: if this male dominated society had not put so much pressure on women to look good this would never have happened this women needs therapy not prison

[Brytani]

Why even bother with a trial? Yea yea, I know we have rights and a constitution and all that, but women (if I can use that term to describe this person) that leave their children in a car to be literally cooked alive, deserve nothing but being taken outside the courthouse and a bullet put into their heads.

[lsee]

Sigh. The defense will just say she's mentally retarded and can't be executed. There is no justification for delibarately leaving a toddler and infant in a closed car alone.

There have been bonafide examples of parents, grandparents, or other caregivers making a fatal mistake because in their busy lives they became frazzled. The person gets in the car and their brain goes on "auto-pilot". If the child falls asleep and doesn't provide an audible cue to remember them, they may then be left behind in the car. These are the incidents where the person responsible becomes hysterical when they discover what they've done, because they honestly could not imagine themselves doing such a thing or making such a terrible mistake. These people often consider taking their own lives, their guilt and regret is so great.

This incident doesn't strike me as a "mistake". It strikes me as a selfish decision that resulted in the death of those little children. I'm certain we'll be reading more about this case.
