The weird thing is that Halo has Frank's sign on her ears--the lower lobe fold--that's been associated with heart problems and end of-life. I wish someone would not have pointed that out to me when my mother was near death--but they did--and now I spot it like an eagle. I'm sure there are other reasons for Frank's sign, but it's odd that it appears on Halo's little ears.

She was drunk, by her own admission on Facebook.
It's because of the intoxication part--
MANSLAUGHTER IN THE SECOND DEGREE
(Reckless Homicide)
Penal Law § 125.15(1)
(Committed on or after Sept. 1, 1967)
The (specify) count is Manslaughter in the Second Degree.
Under our law, a person is guilty of Manslaughter in the
Second Degree when that person recklessly causes the death of
another person.
[NOTE: Where there is evidence of voluntary intoxication on the
part of the defendant, add:
A person also acts recklessly when he or she creates such
a risk but is unaware of that risk solely by reason of his or her
voluntary intoxication
It's a class C felony punishable
New York Manslaughter in the Second Degree is a Class “C” Non-Violent Felony. As such, this charge is punishable by up to 5 to 15 years in prison. The minimum sentence on Manslaughter in the Second Degree is 1 to 3 years incarceration.

WTH??? Wow. Why didn’t she just call 911??? Halo could have been saved. Maybe she would have been charged with something, but had Halo lived it would probably be far less severe than 2nd degree manslaughter. Even if she didn’t, calling 911 would still probably have resulted in a lesser charge.
I want this mom to get charged w/ reckless endangerment, child neglect…I hope a judge throws the BOOK at her! I’m sorry, I’m sure it was a drunken accident but I’m too angry to be lenient. I perused her FB page and it was absolutely vile. She was clearly more concerned with partying and baby daddy drama than the safety and wellbeing of her children.
That poor baby. I feel so badly for the father and his son…he was trying to get custody for a reason, obviously. If I were him or her son, I would never forgive her. Never. This was completely preventable, at a minimum Halo could have been saved. Some people just don’t deserve to be parents and this woman is one of them.
