Which law?[/quote]

Educate yourself.[/quote]

I did. That's why I'm asking.

This law doesn't apply:

[i]§5–801.  
(a)   A person who is charged with the care of a child under the age of 8 years may not allow the child to be locked or confined in a dwelling, building, enclosure, or motor vehicle while the person charged is absent and the dwelling, building, enclosure, or motor vehicle is out of the sight of the person charged unless the person charged provides a reliable person at least 13 years old to remain with the child to protect the child.
[/i]
This regulation doesn't either:

[i](8) "Child neglect" means one or more of the following by a parent or caretaker:

(a) A failure to provide proper care and attention to a child, including leaving a child unattended, under circumstances that indicate that the child's health or welfare is harmed or placed at substantial risk of harm; or

(b) Mental injury or a substantial risk of mental injury of a child that is caused by the failure to provide proper care and attention to a child. 
[/i]

Clearly the facts are still in question about whether this is child neglect.[/quote]
