punishment for her

It is hard to tell whether this woman should get punish or not. Lose baby is very harmful to a mom, every mom love their baby, yes there are little chance not. I think she is one of the not. It is so odd how could she forget her own baby and left baby in car for eight hour? That don't make sence. I really don't believe it. This woman must be very careless her baby. For that reason this woman must get punish. Go to jail is a good ideal for her. That make she knowns why she is her and how fool she was. That will also give alert for those careless mom. Don't think lose child by accident will be a excuse for her.

Harm but not a punishment

It’s harsh for me to make a simple decision to judge whether the mother should be sentenced to jail or not. Losing one’s own child by accident can not be simply measured by the law, where between the Mom and the baby are too many emotions. Of course, I confess that from the professional law perspective, the mom’s behavior has already broken the law and even not on purpose. If that, we can easily put the mom into prison without any question. But, I am sure the accident will bring the horrible memory for the mom for the whole rest of life, which is the biggest difference from other crimes. So, to this issue, I don’t want to make a simple judge, but to say, in the world are many things we can not value and judge just from the reason.

Loss of child as punishment?

It is not easy to decide whether to send a mother that has left her child in a car in the summer to jail or not. Honestly, I'm not even sure what I would do if I were the judge.
Obviously the mother did not kill her baby on purpose, or wanted him any harm. Not only did she lose her child, but even worse, it was her own fault, and she will have to deal and live with that guilt for the rest of her life. Therefore I understand why some people think that an additional punishment is not necessary
On the other hand, however, being a mother involves a lot of responsibility, which the mother in this case obviously lacked. How could you possibly "forget" about your own child?? How much attention do you pay to your child if you don't notice it in your back seat? Looking at it from this perspective, the mother committed a crime; because an infant is absolutely helpless, it relies on its mother. However, the mother in this case failed in her "job" as a mom. If a mother cares so little about and for her child to simply forget it was in the car, she shouldn't even be a mother, and deserves punishment.
After all I think there are good arguments to sentence a mother like that to jail time, as well as not to. However, I think the police should also research whether the woman was usually a good mother, or if there had been more incidents already.

To error is human, to correct is humane

This case is not a sheer tragedy to me. Suppose there is a law that inquires parents can not leave their babies in the car, could Nesselroad-Slaby be so careless to lock her baby in the care and what’s more unbelievable to me, forget the thing totally? It is just because people lack of the awareness of leaving baby in the car without attendance could possibly lead to its death that causes the tragedy. What’s important is not weather the careless mom should be punished or not, but what can we can do to avoid such kind of thing happen again. If there is anyone should be blame of, I suggest it should be the unsounded law. “To error is human, to forgive is Devine.” If this is true, then I argue that to error is human, to correct is humane.

maybe some other punishment for her?

When I hear this news, first things came to my mine is this woman should go to jail with out a doubt. Come on we talking about a human, not some animal, a life cute 2-years old baby girl, but event it is an animal they have punishment for that too. I am furious, no parent should make this kinds mistake, if you do so it only mean you don’t care enough you children. Of cause there are some reasons why this woman makes this mistake, but that did not give her a reason to stay out of “punishment.” For now I was concerned is what will happen to her family and her daughter. No child will have happy childhood with out a mother. Any way in my personal point is if go to is jail is not a very good choice for this family, maybe some other punishment for her.

Dilemmatic Situation

In the news, the mother left her baby in a locked car for eight hours, which leads to the death of the baby. Some pople believe that she should get the jail time, while others claim that the death od her child is punishment enough. It is really a dilemmatic situation. Personally speaking, I insist that the mother should be tried.
For one thing, it is her lapse that makes the baby die. She should be pubnished by law though she has been punished of losing her child. She is the guardian of her child. Therefore, the mother is fully responsible for protecting the child except the accident. But it is obvious that her neglifence causes this tragedy. So I hold the view that the mother should be tried to receive proper punishment.
Also, in the past 10 years, there have been many similar cases happened and most people have been charged for their lapses. Under this circumstance, there is no reason allows the mother to escape from the punishment of the law. And it can warn people of being more careful about their babies as well.
Based on all above, I think the mother should be tried and receive proper punishment but taking her sadness of losing daughter into account.

Guilt is punishment for herself

I was shocked by this news at first sight. I can not believe the tragic story which is made by a mother. Meanwhile i was angry with this stupid mother when i read beginning of this news, because she was so reckless that lead death of her baby. I am just wondering if she does not love her baby, why does she give birth to baby. But now i change my attitude to this poor mother. I know she is inadvertent and she must be very sad to this tragic story. What's more, i have watched this video show and it was really tough to watch. i saw how sad this mother was , even she wanted to die. Her pain and guilt are apparent, she said she coud not forgive herself.
As far as i am concerned, i do not think this woman should get jail. There are two reasons for my view. On the one hand, she made this badly result because of changed daily routine. If she does things as usual, she will not leave her lovely baby. On the other hand, i know she has another daughter who is just five years old according to this video show. If she gets jail, that girl will lose her mother and can not grow up happily. In addition, this poor mother has have lost one of her baby, how can she stand lost another one? It's unfair to this mother, after all she does not want to leave her baby. Now she is so guilt and she said she was a bad mother. I think she will live with guilt forever and this is serious punishment for herself. So please give her another life with her five years old daugter.

Don't do that.

When the report came that a mother may be tried as she accidently killed her own baby by leaving her 2-year-old girl in a locked car which is close to 150 degrees, I was really shocked.
However, this issue left behind it an important question. Have the love from mother changed?
Nowadays, as the young generation are more and more self-centered, they may not really understand the true meaning of love. What they care most are just themselves. Another thing we should consider is that since the young are cared so much by their own parents and children are not so essential as they were in aicient times to a woman, they really may not really know how to look after a baby. Furthermore, from the story of the queen in Tang Dynasty, Zetian Wu, who killed her daugter in order to trap another wife of her husband, we can also conclud that sometimes people indeed love themselves most.
Despite of the three facts above, I am still fully convinced that the love from mother is the greatest in the world. I still remember the girl in the TV series ,Desperate Housewives , who hates to be a mother, turned out to be the saddest one when she had to be seperated from her new-born baby. So don't try the poor mother. No mother would like to kill her baby.
At the idea of putting that miserable mother into jail, no one would be happy.

What if it were a fish that died...

Imagine this, you are stressed and distracted by the heavy work and you forget to feed your fish. It dies and you are even sadder. Should you be put in prison simply out of your negligence? Of course no. And people wouldn't even care about this piece of news because it's about the death of a little fish.
Well, let's change this "fish" to "baby", everything is so different! This is what the news tells us.A lot of people have had a strong reaction to this and some even think this mother should get jail time. It's just the same plot with different characters. So I certainly think this woman shouldn't get jail time.
Maybe some people argue that it's wrong of me to change this fish to a baby for baby is a human. They are both creatures, anyway. The thing is, the woman is absolutely more grieved when it's her baby who died.

Don

Conviction is not for punishment but for reminding.

Brenda Nesselroad Slaby, the mother who lost her daughter in the back seat of her car, will be in an everlasting sorrow for what she did. The issue whether she should get jail time has aroused people’s concern. The people who hold the perspective she should not get jail time as she has already got punishment, losing her child. For this reason, she has already got rooted deep pain so send her to jail seems cruel at this time.
In my opinion, her “negligence” killed a 2-year-old girl anyway. She is deserved to get jail time. I don’t want to argue whether her behavior was “recklessly” and I do respect the Ohio law as well. But her conviction will not be a punishment, just like someone said, she has already got punished. I would like to say sending her to jail is a reminding more than a punishment.
If the court condemns Brenda as guilty, it will definitely lead a discussion on it. However this discussion is practically what we want. People concern about this, talk about this, so they would at least know her behavior led a tragedy. It’s not only a life and the broken hearts of the people who care about the girl. It’s a reminding for everyone in the society. When they receive the education on law or legislation, they would know, Brenda’s behavior is a crime. This would remind them in their latter life after they become parents.
So, Brenda should get jail time, not for punishing her, but for avoiding another tragedy.

Poor Mother

There is no doubt that this woman is responsible for what she did and obviously she paid for it. The death of her child must be a great hit for her and maybe she will be guilty for her lifetime, which is really a tough "punishment". After all, accidentally killing one's own child is a horrible thing for a mother.
From the questioning video recording, which is tough to watch, we can tell that she is very grieved and said she wanted to die and "good mothers don't do this". She said she is the most incompetent person on earth".
The main reason for the accident is that she changed her daily routine to drop off her daughter with the babysitter but went to buy donuts for her fellow teachers. "Just been doing too much. Trying to do everything for everybody"She said.
It should be noted that this mother has another five-year-old girl to take care of. If she went to jail, it would be inhumane for both her little daughter and herself. And I think the baby girl who died in accident also won't like the idea to put her love mother into prison.
In a word, I don't think this woman should get jail time. But we should try to figure out a way to remind those careless mothers of their left children in the car because there're lots of deaths cause by the "reckless conduct".
