That child was doomed I worked for a while (all I could possibly stand) in an adolescent treatment facility, with young children who seemed determined to self destruct, sniffing glue and paint propellants, finding pills and taking as many of them as they can, finding alcohol and drinking ENORMOUS amounts, unbelievable amounts, all at once and poisoning themselves
What with her mother's inability to do BASIC parenting, who disregarded the smallest measures to protect the child from herself, SHE should be the one behind bars held on bail.
I can see why Grandma is also being held accountable. This happened BEFORE. There's no excuse there either
But the mother . . . OMG. She is the most culpable of them all. To pay so little attention to her daughter that she did not notice the child was intoxicated, breathing funny (I checked on my kids at that age), which I'm sure she did for hours before she died.
Most of us blame ourselves for things that we couldn't possibly have controlled, when tragedy happens. Then there are those that do unspeakable things without a whit of conscience as they blame everyone else. . . they are as dangerous to society as any sociopath
