I don't understand why this mom wasn't charged with negligence. The Dad in New York who fell asleep and his 3 year old boy got out and rode the bus to the movies, but unhurt, was charged with negligence. Too bad he admitted to being asleep. If he has just said he was in the bathroom for 15 minutes, he might have gotten away with it. Everyone knows that the neighbors said that the kids were out for at least 30 minutes another time before being taken home and no one was looking for them and I think that most likely the kids were not checked on for quite a long time for them to make their way down an unknown path 1/2 mile away, under or thru a fence, then to drown in the algae covered pond. That woman was either asleep, in the tub, on the phone, watching tv, or just off in her own little world for awhile that day and apparently it happened quite a bit.
