Stupid parents should be prosecuted

I'm really ticked as I write this. This happens several times a summer here in Phoenix, and I think the "it was an accident" or the "poor parent has already suffered enough" arguments are beyond old.

Today, a woman left her one year old in a car parked outside for five hours. The child, of course, baked to death. The temp in the car when she finally remembered her child was out there was over 160.

This sickens me.

No more not knowing where your child is when you have a pool. No more leaving the baby in the bathtub by itself to go answer the phone. No more forgetting you even have the kid with you and leaving it to bake in the damn car.

It may have been an accident, but there is such a thing as gross negligence. It is time for those responsible to be held responsible.
