    The headline:

    Fatal Distraction: Forgetting a Child in the Backseat of a Car Is a Horrifying Mistake. Is It a Crime?

    YES! It is and it should be. It’s neglect! There’s no reason to keep reading when the headline asks a bullshit question.

    I also wouldn’t read an article titled, Should murder be wrong?

      An award winning journalist, the only one to have will two Pulitzers for features, this being one of them: “here’s a horrifying thing that can happen to anyone.”

      Some random dipshit: “what an idiot.”

      I know I’m being pedantic but murder requires intent, it seems that the majority of these cases are manslaughter, still illegal though and just as sad.
