If you go this link, it talks about a 22 year old mother who left her son in the car for 7 hours while she worked at Hooters.

In Arizona, this happens a lot, but this was an obvious neglect situation and took me to the ground when I heard it first reported. This woman is my age and I had Post-Partum Depression with both my children. I snapped out of it after Gus died but when he was alive, it never crossed my mind to do anything like this. I can't even begin to imagine what it would take for someone to even think the first thought in taking the action of killing their child.

The boy was 17 months old. She is being charged with his murder, but when the story first came out, she said she just forgot to drop him off at daycare.

Is that possible? To forget your child is in the backseat? I don't believe it. Has anyone ever heard of anyone actually forgetting their child was was in the car?

that is horrible! i have never heard of someone forgetting that their child was in the car... how could she do something like that? i just don't understand how someone would intentionally hurt their children... i would never do anything to harm my daughter and i never did anything to harm Blaise.... his father blames me for his death and thinks that i did something to cause it... HELLO! it was SIDS! what don't you understand? but i'm kinda glad he blames me because he was a jerk and treated me like crap and is now outta my life! but back on topic, that is such a terrible thing for someone to do!

I can't imagine this. I am the biggest ding bat in town. I walk into Wal-Mart and can't remember what I'm doing in there. But, to forget your kid, come on, she worked at Hooters for gods sake. In my opinion she should get the death penelty. Did she not hear that child in the back seat. Us who have children know a 17 mo old talks to hear themselves, wish I was on that jury.

Thats horrible. How do u forget a 17 month old? IDK I hate people who neglect their kids and people like that don't deserve kids. Then u have the people like u and me who take care of our kids and have to suffer through a tradgedy.
She needs to get the death penalty

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
