[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...Actually I wonder if the Judge is more severe with them because they really have no excuse - it was not a financial necessity to go to a wine tasting, they could afford a babysitter, and they are certainly old enough/educated enough to know they are violating the law.

I hope it's not the case. The children's welfare should come first, they are not a means to deliver punishment.[/quote]

PP here. I think I did not make myself very clear - I think he could have (rightly) thought they are worse parents than e.g., that lady in the news some time ago who had her kid in a park unsupervised because she was a poor single mother who needed to work to make ends meet and could not afford a babysitter - in that case, you can say the parent is doing her best and is not willfully a bad parent. Or if it's some young 15-year old who simply doesn't know better (that it's a bad idea to leave a small child in the car) - someone like that can be educated on proper behavior with small children because she didn't do it out of callous indifference for her child. Here, you have to be a horrendously bad parent to do what they did.  [/quote]
