Cops: Mom Warned About Leaving Kid in Car (No Charges Kid Died 100 Degrees)

[RamboLiberal]

A woman whose 2-year-old daughter died in an overheated car last month had left the girl unattended before and had been warned about the danger that created, according to a police report.

Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby had been told by a former administrator at her 5-year-old daughter's preschool that the younger sister shouldn't be left in the car by herself, the Union Township police report said.

A parent had complained about seeing the toddler left in a car during the winter. The former administrator told police that the event prompted the school to warn parents in its newsletter that no child should be left in a car unattended.

The Clermont County prosecutor said Tuesday that no charges would be filed against Nesselroad-Slaby, 40, in the Aug. 23 death of her daughter, Cecilia.

A surveillance camera captured Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby the day she forgot that she had left her toddler strapped in a car seat on her way to work as an administrator at Glen Este Middle School. The child's body was discovered more than seven hours later, after outside temperatures reached nearly 100 degrees.

I wonder if this was a habit with her. If we're all in high dudgeon about the cop who forgot his k9 partner - then we should be outraged by this case. I don't know that prison is the answer but community service certainly.
