Stupid parents should be prosecuted

I think it's clear this kind of stuff should happen - but I wonder what you expect out of "prosecution," Death sentence? Jail Time? something else? I'm not sure how you weigh their obvious negligence against the needs of the remaining family members. I guess you could say in these situations the children may be better in foster care, but that's quite an absolute to bandy about.

It also seems this is a product of stupidity - not sure if making an example of negligent parents would have any impact on their peers. Someone who forgets about their child for 5 hours, isn't going to remember that once upon a time some mom got the death penelty for doing the same thing.

Why do you think we don't have kids?
