Parents leaving their kids in hot cars to die is neglect

I have been hearing about these cases for a while now, and it's really getting under my skin. Parents who leave their children in hot cars all day, and they aren't being charged with a crime! I have done much research, and found that there have been some parents charged, but some are not.

There have been a couple of these cases happen in my neighboring state, Ohio, and the parents have not been charged at all. I just cannot see how this is happening! I really do not see how someone could forget about their child being in the car with them, and going to work, leaving the child to die in a hot car.

Then, the DA is saying that they cannot charge these people because it's not defined as neglect under the law. TIME TO CHANGE THE LAW!!! HELLO!!! I mean, come on, this is giving parents who do want to 'get rid of' or kill their children, an idea. They see that these people 'accidently' doing it and not getting charged. What kind of message are we sending here!!!
