Criminal neglect by parents

This is in response to the girl who died in the capital due to her parents neglect as they ‘forgot’ her in their car. The parents should be punished. Parents simply cannot say that they “forgot” their child in the car.

The accident should be taken very seriously and strict punishment should be given. The accident reminded me of another incident when parents forgot their baby while rushing to the airport. You baby is your own flesh and blood. If people don’t forget their credit cards or cell phones in cars, then how can they forget their own child?

* This is with reference to the news story of callous parents who forgot their child and walked away. Such a trend is on the rise and there seems to be come fishy objectives behind such incidents. They need to be studied closely.
