Reply #23: These were statements made to the police. [View All]

I'm not inclined to give the mama's boy statement all that much weight. She's just found her baby in the tub, and police are there and she's out of her mind. Look, I'm not saying what she did was a-okay. Not at all. But it's not all that different from the inattentiveness that happens. It just isn't. It's a sad, tragic reality. It's the second cause of death for children under 2. And the rest of the parents don't get slammed with long sentences like this, as I said. Parents should be educated that it's not okay, whether it's the phone, the door OR facebook. It doesn't matter. The water is just as deadly.
