AI Thread Summary
A woman tragically forgot her child in the car, leading to the child's death from heat exposure, while another mother was arrested after forgetting her child in a stroller but was found safe. The community expressed sympathy for the first mother, suggesting that everyone can make mistakes, especially under changed routines. However, there are strong arguments for legal accountability, as neglect can have severe consequences, and some believe that criminal negligence laws should apply. The discussion highlights the complexities of parental responsibility and the potential influence of drug use on the first mother's actions. Ultimately, the incident raises serious questions about accountability and the standards of care expected from parents.

The child should not be removed unless they are at risk of abuse. What happened to your family is just shocking. I can't get over it.
Thanks for the sympathy. But the risk of abuse is a vague term, it's the perceived risk that these workers are capitalizing on: children are taken away before anything has happened (or afterwards, when the risk is gone). I'd say that is child abuse in itself, not to speak of the abuse that takes place in these institutions.

I hope the neighbor lawyer can make a break somehow, at least he's very passionate about the cases.

Passion doesn't pay the bills, though. If he sticks with it, kudos for him. There is not a lot of money to be made pursuing civil cases, especially when you're challenging a government with teams of lawyers, and unfriendly judges.
