The only reason they charged her was because they absolutely had to since the did that woman in Lexington, only we don't know what has been done to that woman besides she got took to jail because her baby was alive and basically okay, this nurse killed this baby and nothing is being done to her about it. Where is the justice in all of this?

I am so glad to see that people are starting to open up their eyes and see that this is something that happens everyday to good people. This same thing happened to me, only for some reason, God chose to spare my children. I thank him for that everyday of my life. Everything happens for a reason and we may not always know why, but God has a plan. For me, he was trying to tell me that I wasn't Supermom and that I couldn't tackle everything by myself. He was teaching me to slow down and welcome the help of others. I know that many do not understand it. How can we "forget" the most precious things in our lives? To this day, I still can't explain it. But it happens. I used to be one of those people who judged others until this happened to my family. Now, I see it for what it is- a mistake. Unfortunately for this grandmother, it turned out to be fatal to her beautiful grandson. I will pray for this family. I hope that her community can show her support and love as my small town did.

Well Ken, I am very proud of you taking your children to church every Sunday. My biggest point in this situation is, she forgot a child in a car, so does this mean that if we forget "thou shall not kill",we can go on a killing spree and it should be so easily forgiven? I think grown adults need to be held accountable for their actions is all that I am saying! I work anywhere from 70-90 hours a week managing a business, and there is NEVER too much on my mind that I would leave my sweet little helpless 2 year old in the car all day to fry! I feel like the doctor in Northern Kentucky that got away with it is starting a "trend". Always remember, children are the only permanant things in an adults life, spouses come and go, but a child will love you through all your downfalls, and they are the most precious things on earth.

Thought i would finally post for once. If this woman "forgot" about her grandchild in the car, what else has she "forgotten" about when at work. If the people at the hospital say what a good caregiver/nurse she is, How do you or the hospital know she did not"forget" and cause a patient a problem on her duty? IF the grandmother cannot remember of see something as obvious as a child in the car, how can the hospital trust her to do her job? IF you are this forgettful you should NOT be in that profession.

I"m a relatively young person and I know that I forget things on a daily basis... I start thinking about work, going to the grocery store, or just completely random things are forget where I'm going. I have passed the entrance to my office on more than few occasions. I think it's completely possible to be wrapped up in things happening around you and forget about something in your back seat that usually isnt there and isnt making any noise. Can you imagine the pain this grandmother is feeling right now? Pray for her and the family... What you people are doing on here is just adding hurt to everyone.

I think we are forgetting the bottom line here- a beautiful, innocent 2 year old baby died. That's the bottom line, period. The fact remains he was in the grandmother's care and for whatever reason, he was left to die in her car. Personally, I do not believe her story that she "forgot" him. However, it is not up to me decide her fate. I am a mother of a 5 year old little girl. I can honestly say that I have NEVER forgotten that she was with me or left her in the car alone. I am not a perfect mother, just cautious. I think sometimes we tend to take our children for granted. This is a good time to grab your kids and give them lots of hugs and kisses. I know I will!

Posted by: Melissa Location: Ky on Oct 14, 2008 at 12:51 PM
This woman may very well be good woman and from a good family that would never harm a child otherwise. But the fact is that she FORGOT! Not an excuse. She may have forgot and probably did but her mistake cost a child it's life. I dont think she should be charged with murder but with criminal neglegence yes! Maybe it will send out the message to other's who are "forgetting" thier children in cars to "remember"! Yes she is probably heart broken. And feels terrible for what happened. But all the regret in the world wont bring that child back. May God be with them all! May this never happen again!

Charlotte from Barbourville, you said: "I was at the hospital when the police came and got her from work." You're a LIAR. Linda herself found the baby and collapsed screaming in the parking lot by him. She herself called the police. Every law enforcement professional and observer along the way in this incident has remarked about how it was a tragic accident. Go somewhere else to get your kicks and leave these people alone to try to make it through their lives now.

I just want to say that I love my child with everything in me. I have been driving him to school (4th grade) and pass the school up, and on my way to work (a job I quit when he was 9 months old). He will say mom where are we going and I laugh turn around and go back to school. I love him but I'm usally caught up in a program on the radio or just thinking about practice after school or what I need to pick up at the store. I'm sure this wasn't in the Grandmothers daily routine. She will suffer the rest of her life in or out of jail. I pray that God will help heal these broken hearts.

Posted by: Kimberly Location: Brodhead on Oct 13, 2008 at 09:43 PM
I am not here to judge, that is not my job. I agree that our children are one of most precious gifts from God. When I hear of our children dying needlessly, I look to God to ask why, then I remember .. There is a reason for everything that happens. Although, I do not understand. God does. Maybe God is telling us as a nation .. slow down .. remember what is important. Instead of worrying about throwning someone in jail .. we should be on our knees praying we never have to endure the pain this whole family must be going through. I am not a grandmother, but I still can't imagine the pain this grandmother must be enduring. Just remember we will all be judged one day. I personally plan to get down on my knees and pray for this entire family, and ask God to comfort them as only he can. Let us all pray that these needless accidents stop. May God Bless.

I PRAY GOD GIVE HER, I PERSONALLY DO NOT BELIEVE ANYONE THAT CAN FUNCTION, ESPECIALLY WORK, WITH THE PUBLIC. COULD FORGET A CHILD IN A CAR. WOULD BE LIKE FORGETTING WHEN TO GO HOME OR GO TO WORK, OR REMEMBERING HOW TO GO HOME. DO A DRUG SCREEN ASAP. I BELIEVE SHE NEEDS TO BE CONVICTED WITH PREMEDITATED MURDER. ACTIONS SPEAK SO MUCH LOUDER THAN WORDS. SHOULD THIS HAVE BEEN AN ANIMAL WHAT WOULD THE PUBLIC DO OR WANT TO DO WITH HER? OF COURSE GOD HAS THE ANSWER, AND IS FORGIVING IF ONLY THE GUILT INDIVIDUAL ASK HIM ,ON THE OTHER HAND WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE NOT AS UNDERSTANDING AND FORGIVING AS GOD. GOD PLEASE BE WITH THE PARENTS AND THOSE GRANDPARENTS THAT REALLY LOVE THE CHILD, HE IS AT HOME WITH JESUS.

Posted by: ken Location: prestonsburg on Oct 13, 2008 at 05:12 PM
Hey "Dad" - Ken from Prestonsburg does have children and loves them very much. I love them so much that I do everything in my power to protect them, not only physically but spiritually. Take them to church every Sunday, pray and read scriptures with them and teach them that families can be eternal. Is there anything in my comments that makes you think that I do not have children? If my mother-in-law did a similar thing to one of my children i would be devastated however, i know that she would not have done it on purpose. Therefore, i would have to lean heavily on the Lord to overcome the situation and I would do everything in my power to forgive my mother - in - law because she would already be tormented. I would be a poor Christian to add to her/our horrific situation. I would not want her going to prison. Maybe we should be directing more of our energy to those who drink and/or do drugs and drive on the streets and "voluntarily" kill innocent people. They are still out there. Why?

Posted by: carla Location: Lexington on Oct 13, 2008 at 05:04 PM
This poor grandmother will suffer enough for the rest of her life. I saw her on the news and you could feel the anguish and despair on this womans face. When will our daughter's and son's quit expecting their mom's to do everything for them and take the resonsibility to see that their child gets safely to day care or where ever they need to go. This woman obviously has a full plate herself without her children putting the responsibility of their child on her shoulder's. Although, she loved this child, it is easier to forget when you're older. Say a prayer for this family and hope they are not destroyed by this tragedy. I don't think there was any intent to hurt this precious child.

Posted by: B Location: London on Oct 13, 2008 at 04:00 PM
I know this family and they are good people. We all need to pray for them. A terrible tragedy has occurred and they will live with this for the rest of their lives. We all make mistakes, little ones and big ones. For the ones of you who are being so heartless and judgmental, just pray that nothing like this or worse ever happens to you or one of your family members. Not one person is perfect, only GOD is!! Judge not lest you be judged. God help this family in their time of need. In Jesus'name I pray!!

How can you uphold this woman when you have only read the whole FOUR LINES also? My God, how could anyone forget they have a baby in the car? I'm sorry but I don't believe it for a minute. I think they should fry her A**.

How can you forget a child. This never happens in the winter always the summer. ijust dont understand it. The poor babies. I often see elderly people left in cars also, that should not happen either.

Posted by: na Location: Mt olivet on Oct 13, 2008 at 01:43 PM
The whole lot of you need to stop and think about what you are saying. As a mother of 4 I have never forgotten that one my children were in the car, but i will say this there have been times that i have had to turn about because I have been in a rush and remove one child while doing multiple things. Get a life and stop making judgement. That whole family is suffering and crued comments only making it worse, and i don't care wiether you are a parent, grandparent or not a parent at all. Shut up, IT COULD OF BEEN YOU TO HAVE MADE THE MISTAKE, A TRAGGIC ONE BUT A MISTAKE NONE THE LESS.

Posted by: Carol Location: KY on Oct 13, 2008 at 01:24 PM
I agree with Ken fr Prestonsburg and believe we all need to be silent if we don't have anything positive to say about this situation. And yes, I do have children, and no, I never forgot them in the car when they were little. But, I was a busy working mom with a stressful job, and although this doesn't exonerate this lady fr. the responsibility she had that morning before daylight, it also doesn't mean we need to hang her in public. Let's let "an eye for an eye" play out here in the legal system...and not in the way many think that means...It doesn't mean to do to her what happened to this baby, but rather to let the "punishment" be no more harsh than the "crime"---as historically the punishments were way harsher than the crime dictated. Jesus rose and gives us an example of compassion and justice that is not often within our human minds...but I think that we just need to lift this lady and the entire family in prayer, and not say much else as they lay this baby to rest today...

Posted by: conerned Location: KY on Oct 13, 2008 at 12:55 PM
You can forget. People are this absent minded. This is a busy time we live in. Things are not simple like the old days. We are over loaded with things we have to remember, but you prioritise, and a child in a car is a very high priority. forgeting something this important for a period of nine hours, makes me feel as if there is some underlying reason. I don't know the age of this grandmother or if she may be taking some sort of medication for anxiety, depression or who knows. My father suffered with alzheimer's for many years and could see something like this happening with him during the onset of the disease. I guess my piont is there are reasons for this type of behavior and to say the lady sould suffer for nine hours in a car is horrible. This was not intentional, it was an accident caused by the neglegence of the grandmother. All accidents have causes, this is just a cause that is hard for us to accept.

---

Posted by: Newswatcher Location: Frankfort on Oct 13, 2008 at 12:44 PM
Ken in Prestonsburg, you are right. It is painfully obvious that Satan is creating contention here. Too bad people aren't recognizing his force at work in their thoughts and words.

Posted by: Sally Location: London on Oct 13, 2008 at 12:34 PM
I have not had this off my mind hardly since this horrific accident happened. If we didn't have these laws the child might have had a chance. You have to buckle one in a seat in the BACK seat, whereas thi little guy would have been in the front seat beside her. Another thing, if our vehicles weren't made like they are now, he might have had a slight chance of getting out of the car, but he sure couldn't have now because the driver has to unlock the car door. I know if I could be on a jury for this, I certainly would not convict this Grandmother of anything.

What i dont understand is that the grandmother said that she forgot that the child was in the vechile, well that could of happen but during that time she was working you mean she never once thought of her grandchild even when she saw another child. that is what sounds wrong, i think of my children several times a day. I also think there is so many kids being left in vechiles and dying that they need to start punishing these people instead of a slap on the wrist, when a helpless child cannot get out of the car and was put in there by a parent,grandparent and forgot or what ever it is murder period. and should be punished liked they killed someone. that child was helpless.

What happened with this is a true and devastating tragedy that has destroyed this family. I have known them for some time now, and this was not done on purpose. It was not a deliberate crime meant to torture this child. An innocent's life was taken, but the grandmother did not set out to harm him. What has happened will be punishment enough for her, and something she must live with the rest of her life. Never say you won't be in some situation similar to this because you just don't know, and remember this when you judge others. There is a difference in abuse/murder and an accident. Their are more people to consider in this than the grandmother, as well. Pray for the family...they need this now more than ever.

Well first of all to "Anonymous" people in the health care profession don't have Ph.D's so I'm taking it you don't have one either, they have M.D.'s and she was a registered nurse in the cardiac cath lab at St. Joe London. I know for a fact she has saved hundreds of lives. This was a tragic accident and instead of all this time we are taking chatting on here, we need to be down on our knees praying the family gets through the funeral today and their grief will not be such a burden upon their chests.

Charge all negligent child caregivers the same. Why would there be an excuse for well educated people, when there is none for the uneducated? Seems to me the more educated people would be held to an even higher standard. Sorry, but this woman is as responsible as the young teen mother who does the exact same thing and ends up in prison.

Posted by: CW Location: Versailles on Oct 13, 2008 at 08:08 AM
Personally, I am at a loss to understand how a person can forget and leave a child in a car. I have a 20 month old son and I can't imagine ever forgetting him, but I am not going to judge this woman until the facts of her particular case are out there. I have read more harsh comments about this grandmother than I saw on the woman who left her baby in the car on purpose to go shopping at the Bed, Bath and Beyond in Lexington recently, and that little boy is lucky to be alive and his mother did it on purpose. I hope this tragedy is a lesson for all of us to be more careful. tips:sit your purse or briefcase in the back seat of your car every day so you will have to look back there. Also, make it a habit to call your child's daycare or tell them ahead of time if your child isn't going to be there, and have them call you if you forget to call them. A call from this child's sitter that morning when he didn't arrive might have saved him.

If this grandmother forgot her grandson in a car for 9 hours how then can we trust her to work in a hospital. I think we should forget that she was in a locked car buckled down with the windows rolled up and let her suffer the same way that precious baby suffered.

Posted by: Bubba Johnson Location: Somewhere in Time on Oct 13, 2008 at 01:56 AM
Crimes against children must be punished. There is no reason for anyone to hurt or "forget" about a child. It is justice to punish. Yes, God will decided the final punishment for the perpetrators of crimes against children. But, meanwhile, there must be human intervention and justice. Call it revenge if you want. I call it that. And revenge is justice. No child should be abused. And no child should be forgotten. Sorry, Grandma, off to jail with you, and you will thank me for not just subjecting you to the same death as your grandchild.

As i sit here and read this sad story, tears roll down my face in thoughts of my 2 year old. I am a father of four, my oldest driving, and have had lots of responsibilities throughout the years, but never once forgot about the most important thing in this world "children". I can only wish that all of these horrible people that have committed these crimes could get a little taste of the horror they have put these toddlers through. As for Ken from Prestonsburg, you must not have any children.

Last year in Ohio an assistant principle left her baby all day in the van and they even got her on camera going out to her van a couple times. And she says she forgot the baby. And just this past summer another lady a teacher I think in an Ohio college left her baby all day in the car and said she forgot. They were not charged. If they had been common house wives or drug addicts they would have been charged I think. The excuse "I forgot" just dont cut it. Wether you're educated or not. If you're that busy to forget your child then you're too busy. It's neglegence. Plain and simple. Yes it may have been a mistake or maybe this epidemic of "forgetting" children in cars is'nt an honest mistake but either way it's still causing innocent children to die horrible deaths. Our society of working Mothers have no emotional bond with thier kids so much so that they forget them when they are in their care. Babysitters and daycares are raising them.

I just hate to hear of these things happening! I can't imagine what this poor baby went through. All alone and scared,smothering to death! How can people do this over and over!? We hear of this happening way too much! I don't care what the excuses are! If you have too much on your plate to be able to give 110% to the child, then don't do it! I'm sure these people don't forget their purses or wallets in the car! I bet this lady had her purse with her at work, so she didn't leave it in the car! I just don't get it! I'm not trying to judge anyone, but I just don't get it! I pray for this family that God will help them through this time. God wanted this little angel to be with Him. We don't always understand why things happen, but He has an answer for everything.

In recent months those of us who watch the news have seen children beaten to death with hands and sticks, scalded in hot water, raped, starved, neglected, wrapped up in rugs and burned with cigarettes. Their poor little beaten corpses made hardened doctors and coroners cry. The people responsible for this are in prison where they belong, while proclaiming their innocence. Do you think that if they could leave a child to die in a hot car they would have, and gotten away with it? Whether or not these "wonderful" people that had "terrible" things happen to them had any "intent" or not, the fact is that their NEGLIGENT behavior caused the death of an innocent child. PERIOD. This is murder, and should be prosecuted.

---

Posted by: You Know Location: Kentucky on Oct 12, 2008 at 07:43 PM
I fear that if this woman is not prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law that this will set a terrible precedent for those that will murder a child. The "I Forgot" excuse is not an excuse and should not be admissible. That would clear the way for some copycat "I forgot" deaths of innocent children. This woman should be prosecuted for her negligence, and we should pray that God helps her with her remorse.

Posted by: ken Location: prestonsburg on Oct 12, 2008 at 07:26 PM
I have read through most of the comments and, although many find it difficult to believe that someone could forget a child in a car, I am impressed with many people's compassion towards the family and even the grandmother. It is virtually impossible to judge intent or motive. Was the grandmother's intent to kill the grandchild? Of course not! She is devasted and there is no prison that could punish any more then she is being punished. Her challenge will be to forgive herself and our challenge is to be able to forgive others. Satan likes to take any situation and make it extremely contentious. The Savior would like us to have compassion and not to be judgemental. We should all pray that earthly lessons are learned and that as horrible as this incident must of been for this perfect child - it is living for all eternity with it's Father in Heaven. This is a much better situation then many children who are being spiritually neglected in the world today. Even by many who have commented here.

Every one wants to know either HOW or WHY? If those could be answered then this tragic accident would have never happened. If that day could all be done over again, but it can't. I am sure that Linda has ask God to take her too and get her out of this tragedy. Some people go in stores and leave children to shop and some people just are not in the routine of having a child and forget, for whatever reason it happened and locking her up is not the solution to the problem. If this child NEVER missed daycare, why didn't they call mom and ask if he was sick maybe that could have prevented this or maybe if Linda had been off that day it could have prevented this. There is nothing going to change the outcome of this ACCIDENT. Is jail going to rehabilitate her, NO! She has been a productive citizen for many years who made a deadly mistake I know as a nurse she has saved many lives, people never comment on the good of people only when they are down they want to keep them down. God forgive you!

Please everyone who is a parent,grandparent or chidcare provider let this be a lesson to all of us to take 2-3 seconds everytime we get out of our vehicle to glance in the back. even if the child isn't with you that day or very often. That way it is always a safe habit to have and to protect our little ones. Little Madison was part of my family and he was loved very,very much and if this Grandmother had just took those precious few seconds to look in the back our little angel would still be here with us. I for one don't understand how you ever forget having a baby with you and even if you are the best and most loving person in the world you and maybe things are going wrong in your personal life at the time you have to stay focused on the little ones. They count on us to take care of them.Please pray for the family as the hardest part is yet to come as we lay him to rest.

I am glad to see that there are people who are exhibiting such great mercy. It's sad to read those posts that levy such hate and scorn upon this grandmother. Are we supposed to believe that all of you who say she should "rot in jail" and "be done the same way" have any love in your hearts, for children or anyone else? If the investigation reveals something criminal, such as drug use, etc., then by all means she should be punished according to the law. It's quite a different story if it is found to be an unintentional accident. Jailing someone for a mistake caused by the frailness of the human mind is ridiculous. I don't usually care for the religious rantings which are sometimes posted, but for those of you want to see this grandmother locked up or tortured for the remainder of her life, visit James 2:13 in your Bible. On judgement day the measure you use to judge others will be used to judge you and you will receive the same mercy you give to others.

Being a grandmother myself, I find it very hard to believe she would intentionally leave the baby in the car. I don't know this family, but I just think there has to be a reason why she forgot. Maybe she had something such an ill family member on her mind, or something like that. Maybe this wasn't her normal routine to have the baby with her in the morning and forgot. I think all of you judging her should just keep it to yourselves. I am sure she, as well as the family have to be devastated and I pray for them. I know they will never forget it.

Can't anyone understand this situaton as a dreadful accident? She normally doesn't take the child to daycare, then he was asleep in backseat, and just so many things on her mind she forgot she had him with her. I was married 14 yrs before my son was adopted and it was my greatest fear that I would be shopping or something and forget him and leave him.I have even passed up where I was going and had to turn around. Has things like this never happened to anyone else. Please don't cast stones, instead pray for this family.

I am very upset about this atrocity!! There is no excuse for such behavior!! A child died!!!!!!! Needlessly!!!! That is part of what is wrong with our society today...Adults are more concentrated on themselves than their children or grandchildren..Was she just ignoring the child the entire trip to her place of employment.. she must have been or she would not have "forgotten him". I hope the charges remain and that she is convicted of wreckless homicide!!!

Amazing how quick people are to be judgemental. Sure seeme to be a lot of perfect people out there who feel the need to cast a stone at this woman. I doubt if any of you know the whole story, considering the entire article is FOUR LINES long...yet you go on and on about it as if you know everything. Of course it is a tragedy. Of course it could and should have been prevented, but accidents happen all the time. If you don't know the whole story, why don't you keep your negativity to yourself, and do something productive...like pray for this family during THEIR time of loss.

I guess it must be me but people must not pay attention to the news as much? how can you forget, i mean keys, a movie, a date, but when you have the child in the car with you don't you normally talk to your child and or grandchild? and me i use to place my child on the passenger side of the back seat! where i was able to notice him more and always had my rearview mirror on my child? so how could you honestly say i forgot as most parents do that? By the way rachel did you just forget or what? the mother that was not charged for the same crime i posted earlier in the thread and it was just last month!! We need steeper penalty's for these people!!! And for the one's who say oh just slap them on the wrist they have to live with it then you should allow all murders to just live with it i mean it would be freein up the justice system!! Well i don't! I believe that if you do the crime you should do the time!!

I realize the responsibility lies with the grandmother, but seriously, if I owned a daycare and had a client not show up without calling I would be on the phone trying to find out where the child was. How hard could that be?? At least maybe they would have been able to get to the child before he perished.

I feels so bad that this poor child had to die alone!! It must have been terrified! How could this child not of crossed anyone's mind? Did the daycare workers not miss him? Did the grandmother not think of him for 8-9 hours? I'm a nurse and think of my son everyday while I'm at work. I think she has to be punished. Only by being punished and making an example of her will anything happen. I know she's supposed to be a wonderful nurse and the most christian woman ever but she doesn't deserve to be around patients. How she could ever look thischild's parents in the eyes, I'll never know.

PLease remember the mother as well, she lost her son and now possibly her mother, how could anyone want to see her go to jail.Jail will never bring back this child, her punishment will lie within FOREVER!! Please pray for her and her husband and her other children that are going through this with her. She deserves compassion at this time and I for one will keep the prayers going up for all of them. May God have mercy on those who are so eager to pass judgement!

I thought about what the little one went through.I pray that the little one did not have to suffer. It is very heart breaking. I have taken my son several places and never once forgotten about him.I pray that God will comfort the family. Only the grandmother and God knows the reason why this happened and if she is not punished here, the day and time will come were she will be punished by God almighty.Thou Shall Not Kill.

I think Linda Long should be locked up in a car for 9 hours and left alone so she can go through the same pain as the baby 2 year old boy. Anybody can say they forgot something but nobody can forget their 2 year old grandson in their car!! I was at the hospital when the police came and got her from work. How could she be there helping people and her grandson dying in her car with nobody to help him!!This is absolutely the worse thing that i have heard of in a long time but to be in the same building as a murderer really makes me sick. I also think she should be charged with a more serious charge. grandmother always think of their grandchildren daily,so how in the hell could she be working and not think of her grandchild. I will tell you, I think there is more to the story than she wants to let come out to the public. Other workers at the hospital say they cant believe it, I can because it happened. There is no excuse for Linda Long to let her grandchild die in her car .I am mad.

Hopefully our State government or Federal Government can require child car seat manufactures to use a method of alert to help make drivers aware of children left in cars.

HOW DO YOU FORGET A CHILD IN THE CAR? this makes me sick to my stomach to hear this, children are precious. i hope they put her under the jail and forget about her. they should put her in a hot car all day with no water and see how it feels.didn't anyone notice him in the parking lot? if these children are not important enough to be remembered or thought of throughout the day, they need to be given to someone who will take care of them instead of killing them.

I mean how in the world is this lady ever suppose to live knowing she killed her grandson an innocent life. How will her own child ever look at here the same way?

Shirl-I'm not being self rightous...MOST of us commenting on here are not claiming to be,but I can tell you this...when my daughter was small like this,I can say I didn't FORGET her.I was CONSTANTLY looking in the rearview mirror to check on her,or if I wasn't driving,I was turning around looking at her. I NEVER forgot her.As for those saying why should she be charged because others weren't charged-that makes me sick...ANYONE who leaves a child in a car to be cooked in a car in hot weather SHOULD be done the exact same way,but since our 'justice' system is too soft,atleast give them the death penalty.How many more children will have to be killed before the laws will be changed.These people see how these others are getting off so easy-that's why we continue to see all these children being killed in the news.Wait and see if we dont continue to see more in the next year.Life in prison = free meals,free place to sleep,free medical.Still get to see the family. Where's the punishment?

Its sad but it happens alot. She probably doesn't usually take care of her grandchild and just went about her normal day and forgot all about it.

Luckily I didn't get into an accident that day.

I have rushed so fast through a day and can't even remember what my lunch was much less what it tasted like. None of us know about this grandmother she may be starting to suffer with some sickness that pertains to her memory-- and sor working at the hospital she may be doing volunter work. Know all the facts before you judge. HAVE A HEART PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Tragedies can and will happen to most of us.

It should never happen but it does... It is true-with the fast-paced, multi-tasking, busy, pre-occupied, distracted life-style that many lead... It happens.. However, it should not as there is a product out there already for this new society of parents & care-givers.. It's called Baby Alert International.. We have technology for every aspect of our lives for just the fact not to forget, get lost, get distracted or pre-occupied, why not purchase technology to aid everyone in their pursuit of life. No one should be at fault if there are safe guards just for this issue... One small product like this IS available to save one small life... Don't let this happen again... tell a fellow parent... give one to a grandparent who shares in the care-giving.. Share...

How could anyone forget? I'm sure that is what she is laying in the jail cell asking herself. She is human and we all make mistakes. I know for a fact that she is a wonderful person; a good mother, a good grandmother, and would have never let anything like this happen purposely. I just wish that you people who are making these comments would take the time to bow your head and pray for this family because they are a good, Christian family. As far as you all say she has no business working in a hospital, she is probably one of the best nurses you could ever receive care from. I ask everyone who reads this to pray for the family's strength so they can get through this tragedy. This accident should be proof that this could easily happen to anyone. Judge Not....

now i wonder why she is being charged? it was just back in sept that a mother wasn't charged for leaving her child in a car left to die!!! This is what the article read.............A mother, whose baby died in a hot car last month, will not face charges. Prosecutors didn't give an immediate reason why they decided not to charge Doctor Jodie Edwards but plan to release more details Thursday afternoon. Cincinnati police say Edwards left her 11-month-old daughter, Jenna, in a hot car outside her office at Cincinnati Christian University. Edwards said it was an accident, claiming she just forgot to drop off the child at daycare. Now to me this was the same excuse I simply forgot and coincendence she was of a decent high ended profession!!!! to me it's no difference what are these prosecutors thinking if you are going to allow one of for supposely an honest mistake shouldn't you let all of them off!! But if you want my honest opinion either way they all should be put away!!

Maybe it is a medical problem, who knows. All I know is that jail time is NOT the answer. Linda will never forgive herself. My heart goes out to Madion's mother and father and all the rest of the family. This family is completely devastated and even if we can't imagine how this would happen, it did. God forgives and he heals. Pray for this family to help each other through this. I know Linda will really struggle with this for the remainder of her life. God bless sweet baby Madison.

You forget a child in the car the same way you find yourself driving to work on your day off...we all get into habits and when our minds aren't fully focused on the task at hand, we go on autopilot. We let our minds wander to a million different things and we act out of habit. I too, find it difficult to comtemplate forgetting that there is another human being in the car, but please give this lady a break. I am certain there was no malice involved and she will be anguished over this the rest of her life. I think it would behoove folks to show some mercy and compassion, lest a horrible tragedy such as this befall any one of you!

sad story you know, but I just wonder what the difference is in her not being charged for child abuse and murder as to the next person that is being charged for it, up in Lexington a mom simply left a child get a little hot in a car while she went in the store and she went to jail over it charged with abuse and neglect of her baby and it didn't even die, who decides who charges who for what and when will we stop doing this business that way? what I mean is on the perceptions of the accusing and arresting and judging parties and likes and dislikes of the people involved in the cases? this baby is dead it isn't coming back, if she isn't charged for murder in this case then this seems a non chargeable offense and they need to let the other woman go too and apologize to her, same state you know? that's all

how stupid. You just dont forget that the baby was in the car. If this woman is that forgetful than she should not be working at the hosptail. Infact no hosptial in the world. What a shame the baby's life got taken away like that. She should rot in a hot jail cell for the rest of her life.

If you aren't capabile of remembering a small precious child in your car, you are surely not capable of working in a institution providing care . Who put the child in the car? Person RESPONSIBLE, definately needs drug screen asap. I don't buy these so-called child murder stories.Do these type murders forget how to return home!!!!!!!!!!

What a sad day for the family of this child. May God be with you in this time of pain and hurt. May he bless you with the warm and happy memories of this precious child as he was. May the thought of this grandson run on his grandmothers mind and heart for the rest of her time.

How in the world could a grandmother forget that she had her grandchild with her. She will have to live with that for the rest of her life (probably in prison).. god help her......
