This is such a sad story.dark_shadows said:
I don't think the mom should be charged with murder---it was an accident & accidents DO happen. There have been many cases of parents accidentally rolling over and suffocating their child when they make the mistake of taking them into bed, but I don't think any of these cases ever resulted in murder charges.csds703 said:Wow.
That poor mom and that landlord should be charged with murder.
How many citations did he have? What a pig.
NOT THE MOM, THE LANDLORD. His overt negligience lead to this.julianne said:I don't think the mom should be charged with murder---it was an accident & accidents DO happen.

I also don't think the landlord should be charged with murder---yes, he was waaaay negligent & obviously a complete idiot---but I don't see how any murder charges could be filed against him.
I am in complete agreement. This is tragic, but there's no murder here. I wonder if the landlord had prior complaints from this woman and/or others.julianne said:I don't think the mom should be charged with murder---it was an accident & accidents DO happen.

reb said:in baltimore we used to have rats everywhere.. in the basement, in the house, in the alleys, in the streets.. they would run out and jump over your feet while you were walking. they were just a fact of life. unfortunately you get used to it when you live with it. and in large cities, it is a constant battle. but as for the landlord being charged with murder.. i don't know if that is legally possible. this was an accident, and he did not intend to murder this child. if he could be charged with murder, then everyone who ever did anything that indirectly set off a chain of events that led to an accidental death could be charged with murder.. talk about a slippery slope.

Because that was her world, some people aren't as fortunate as others, who are you to say someone shouldn't have kids?
The article didn't mention anything about crack pipes, not everyone poor and who lives in places like that are on crack..Jeana (DP) said:I guess I'm just me -- that's all. I think that children are owed a certain amount of things. How about being free to sleep in a crib without being eaten alive by rats? How about being free to walk down the stairs without stepping on used crack pipes. Where did they think they were going to be able to afford to send her to school? These are all things we must think of before bringing into this world a child we cannot provide for.

How do you know they couldn't afford to send their kid to school?
