Mother, baby found dead in Millvale apartment (Mom OD, Baby Died of Dehydration)

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Unnecessary slanting in the topic title - The article outright says that no autopsy has been done and that they don't know what caused her death, so OP's choice to label it as a overdose is suspect.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Mar 6, 2015, 09:44 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Post is definitely NOT about anything that is ok but looks like a news item and header may be right or wrong.. no one knows right now...
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: OK, technically it's "probable OD", but that would not fit in the subject line. Why not reply and ask OP to clarify?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: May have been title slanting, but that is a debatable issue in this instance-- not a hidable one
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh FFS. It really doesn't matter how the post is titled. I mean, let's alert on truly awful posts, not something as tragic as this. Leave it alone.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
