I'm not saying she can't have murdered her child, but based on what we know of the case, it doesn't quite make sense. If it's a genuine case, Vicky's linked article explains it in great detail.

With more information/evidence and/or if she's charged with anything then people can re-evaluate their feelings on the matter. I just don't agree with throwing every scenario at this woman based on the fact that a mistake she made resulted in possibly the worst ever consequences. It seems rather unnecessarily vindictive IMO.

Edit - As for the ASDA story comparison, the difference is major. She purposely left her child in the car with full knowledge. That's also the difference between a tragic mistake and a crime - intent. I'm sure the police conduct an investigation into both to ensure any foul play or genuine neglect is held accountable.

I'm not sure thats true, I think that bit of 'fake news' was my fault. I conflated other parts of the story, and seemed to mix up a few aspects in with the article I had read last night too, unless there has been more reporting since then,.
