[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is stupid.  I really doubt anyone seriously believes that it is in this child’s best interest to have his/her parents arrested and go into foster care.

Agree.  This is absurd.  The baby was in a safe space (crib), secured in the bedroom and the parents were nearby.  They weren’t even a car ride away.  They were in the same building.  The chances the hotel catching on fire are slim to none.  Your house could also catch on fire while your kid is sleeping and you aren’t in the same room as them [/quote]

They weren't in the same building.  If you look on google map the Jetty restaurant is not in the same hotel.

Also, this wasn't a baby, it was a toddler at an age when many children start climbing out of cribs.  Most hotel rooms have accessible door handles that toddlers can open, and don't have a way to lock from the outside that prevents opening the door with the handle. [/quote]

That is awful! I think it’s best they let child go with a relative for a bit, while parents receive education and training about parenting. CPS can offer resources for help. Not everyone is a naturally good parent. [/quote]

I’m not defending the parents in any way but for the sake of the thread correcting the pp - while the article says the police “traveled” if you look on google maps the jetty restaurant appears to be either directly next door/likely attached to the Hilton. Again I would never do this and don’t agree with it but it is likely the parents felt they were in the same building and had a monitor they could see the baby. They weren’t drive or make “travel” away[/quote]

No it’s not right next to it.

There have been a lot of cases lately of small children being left alone and dying in a house fire.   One mother left her two cognitively disabled children alone for 9 hours.  They died in a fire.  Another mother left her four children alone overnight ages 4 - 11.   They all died in a fire.    They probably found them hiding in the house.   These are two recent cases.  [/quote]
