Finally, some accountability!

Although it was saddening to read about yet more children dying in house fires, I was glad that the authorities finally seem to be taking action against negligent parents. The mother of the children who died tragically on March 30, 2007 is under investigation to determine whether she breached the Child Care and Protection Act.
As I said in my very first post, parents who endanger the welfare of their children by leaving them alone at home should be held accountable for their gross negligence. There have been too many cases of children who have died or been abused because their parents were too busy doing important things like playing dominos or selling cigarettes. If it isn’t already, these investigations should be standard operating procedure in all cases involving children being injured, abused or killed.
