271. Neglect

Endangering the welfare of a child.


That's a solid solution. A few people start having their surviving children placed in Foster Care while they do their slap on the wrist time and take parenting classes then maybe more people will be as careful as my dad was with his guns.


Take the gun debate out of the debate.

In this case - there was gross negligence.


Had the parents left their child or shit - a dog in a car on a 90 degree day they would have been slapped at minimum with neglect in my state.

That they were so irresponsible at the very least needs to be addressed by the law.

With all of the fire power I grew up with? This didn't happen because my father didn't neglect his children or endanger their welfare or lives by leaving his guns around.

The parents . . . their grief aside? it's not about the tool used to do this - its about the neglect.

Oh yes - I want reform on the gun issue. I just think that Child Welfare laws can be enacted in all 50 states that treats a parent leaving a loaded gun around the same way we treat a parent whose child comes into school and lets it slip that they are hungry - in the meantime.
