I can't believe that the
I can't believe that the mother is not being charged. At the least she should be charged with neglect. I mean what kind of an idiot puts an ambulatory baby on a bed next to an open window?
It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not.
I'm not going to say
I'm not going to say anything about the mother because who really knows, this could truly be an accident vs her just not watching her baby. All I can say is thank God her baby is safe. Hopefully this real teach her a good hard lesson if she was intentionally not paying attention to the girl. I wish more happy stories were in the news.
