We just had another baby left to die in the car here in the Phoenix area. So a few days ago, someone had a Vent in the newspaper to say it's the governments fault for making people put their babies in the back seat, that if they were in front, they wouldn't be forgotten. Oy vey!
That is a total stretch!
The last couple of people that did this with their children did not go to jail.
but the K-9 officer that mistakenly left his dog in the police car, was charged and arrested.
In some jurisdictions police dogs are considered to be police officers in law so that any penalty that can be applied to the assault of a human police officer can also apply to an assault on a police dog.
Last I heard she was still in jail, but that was a couple days after it happened. I understand it *can* happen accidentaly, but I think there is alot more involved because of the custody dispute.
Yeah. I hate to say it, but I think there was an element here of 'accidentally on purpose'
"but the K-9 officer that mistakenly left his dog in the police car, was charged and arrested."
And rightly so. From the media reports, even though his ds was in some sort of accident (I don't know if it was traffic-related or not), the officer came home, took a nap, putzed around his house and did other things while his dog roasted in his vehicle. Someone in his house should have realized that dog wasn't in there, most of all him since he was his constant companion.
Many parents forget their infants in the car because of a break in routine and extreme fatigue. There are some, for sure, who purposely leave their children in the car and they should be prosecuted.
We've had this discussion before, so let's remember to keep it civil please.
