I'm BEYOND angry about this. BEYOND angry. A black woman left her kids in the closet with food, drink, and entertainment while she went to work; THEY ARE ALIVE, and she faces 15 years in prison. This chick "forgets" her child, the kid DIES (a horrible death), and doesn't even get charged. BS. All day long it's BS. You can call it race, you can call it class, I call it BS. She forgot. Ok. How do you work in a SCHOOL and forget about a CHILD? I can't go 8 hours without thinking about my manfriend and he's GROWN. So how you forget about your child? Do people seriously drop their kids off at daycare and then don't think about them until it's time to pick them up? Stopping to get donuts threw you off your routine? So you never stopped to get gas? You've just never stopped in the morning? But you stopped to get donuts and then forget you had just put a kid in the car BEFORE you stopped to get the donuts. It's BS.

If it's not, I need for ONE GreekChat mother to tell me about the time she just forgot all about her child.

And when did forgetting stuff get you off the hook? If I get stopped for speeding, can I say I forgot I what the speed limit was? Can I walk out of a store without paying and say I was so overwhelmed with work I just forgot to pay? Can someone just leave their kid at home and say they forgot to take the child to daycare? When did "I forgot" become a valid EXCUSE?

I have been hearing about people forgetting their kids in the car a lot lately. I have a two year old son and there has never been a day that I forgot to drop him off with the sitter. There has not even been a day that I don't call my sitter and make sure he's doing okay. I personally don't see how it's possible. My mom and I tried to come up with several scenarios that would cause her to forget and we didn't come up with anything that was reasonable. In the case of this woman they let her off the hook because they said the child was not really neglected, she just simply forgot. I think this is BS. It doesn't matter if your child is neglected or not, you still left him in a hot car for 8 or 9 hrs with the windows rolled up and for that you need to pay. When your life becomes so busy and hectic that accidents like this happen,i t's time to sit down and re-evaluate your priorities.

I heard about this story on Today this morning. It reminds me of a story that AP did a few weeks about how they charged parents who leave their kids in cars. A few days later, the incident in Charleston happened (the mom who left the two kids imn the car and then later washed and dressed their bodies).

And where's Chico?

I asked that question last week. TMZ has found him.

So I am listening to the news this morning and they are talking about the woman who left her child in the car. They said that co-workers had warned her before that she needed to stop leaving her son in the car. I was in absolute disbelief....This was not the first time? Apparantly she has done this before but someone always saw him in the car and was able to get him out in time. She needs to go to jail.
