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.
