Many people are talking about THEIR kids, with their PARENTAL care. Let me remind you THIS IS FOSTER CARE. Of course, your kid wouldn't do the things this girl had done, you raised them, and this girl had no such parental care as you are giving your own kid! Of course, the person in charge is taking care of them, but they aren't a parent figure to them. I'm not trying to say this little girl isn't at fault, of course, she is, but doing these types of comparative things isn't such a good clause just because we don't know WHY she went to foster care while your kids haven't, and are with you. We don't know what type of problems she had or anything, she is hidden, and we know nothing about this girl. There is a grand difference between when someone is being raised in foster care and from home, your parents would be telling you what you should and shouldn't do with love and care and etc, meanwhile, the foster care person most of the time just there to feed and "supervise" you.
@inspirelead I am mostly reading comments saying, "It's the girl's fault" and "she deserves as much time in prison." But are we going to talk about the case the person who was taking care of the kids SAW her inside when she informed all the kids to stay outside while the infant is asleep?? The adult was in charge, the 10-year-old girl is obviously in the wrong, yes, but she is a child. I understand the parents would want justice for their baby but the adult should be punished as well instead of her license of care only being taken away. She was in charge of all the children in the daycare, she should be more responsible, especially with a 6-month-old baby, is anyone being captive about that?? The little girl shouldn't be the only one being responsible for her actions, concluding the person in charge should be also taking responsibility. I also read another article about the little girl having a mental problem so if it is true, why would the adult allow the mentally issued girl with a baby, the adult should have been paying more attention to the baby AND the mental 10-year-old. Of course, this shouldn't be getting the girl off the hook but of course, not life in prison, this girl is barely 10. Im going to target the parents real quick, if your child got hurt by something that was laying out, maybe sharps scissors. Who would you blame? "Why did you (10-year-old) touch sharp scissors!!" Why would they be laying out in the open when they were out in the open, it wasn't them who took them out, now to connect these two clauses, the daycare attendant saw the girl inside the building who some say had a mental disorder or problem of some sort with a 10-month baby? Did she not order every kid to be outside while the infant was asleep inside? If she did not see the child inside, why did she not notice the 10-year-old wasn't with the rest of the children outside, she is the person taking care of the children, no? The adult should be the one to also blame, she is the one in charge, to take care, of and look after. They both should be at fault, though the little girl shouldn't be given that much of a punishment, she didn't know what to do, she panicked, everyone has different mindsets and she was left ALONE with the 10-month-old. Again, ALONE, lay off the little girl a little, and start to look around how it could have been prevented.
