For context, she had a babysitter coming in the mornings to check in, make lunches, get them off to school, and prep dinner for them. All the 14 year old had to do was help them get inside after school. Microwave dinner. Get kids in bed and text mom updates. This was a work trip and they threatened to fire her if she did not go. The father has abuse charges and the police handed him their kids on top of arresting her.

Why exactly should women have kids in a world that despises them for it and yet demands they make kids anyway? What is the point?

    991 was called because one kid got hit in the head but it’s not that weird for kids to get injured, even under supervision. Everyone knows it’s enough to leave a kid alone for 5 minutes for something bad to happen. This is just typical over criminalization. It was possible to charge her so they did.

      Could be. Probably making an example of her.

      However, if they were my kids, I would not have left them for five days under those circumstances.
