living with the loaded gun

Last post of the day. I swear.

This kind of shit drives me bug-fuck. It was not a fucking accident. Nobody accidentally leaves their young children in a running vehicle and then fucks off to run errands.

I feel the same way about stories of drunk driving "accidents". Nobody accidentally makes the decision to drive a car to a location where they know they are likely to be drinking. Or accidentally has those drinks when they know that the car parked outside is their only way home.

Makes me want to "accidentally" plant my boot in somebody's ass.

I agree. That's just stupid.

Aren't children taken away from their parents for being left unattended like that??

Normally yes. Parents have lost custody (at the very least on a temporary basis) after leaving kids alone where there was no injury or death involved.

It seems like a pretty clear-cut case to me. I'm not sure why this mother wasn't charged.
