Cincinnati - No charges will be filed against a middle school administrator whose toddler daughter died when she was left in her mother's sport utility vehicle for about eight hours on a day when temperatures reached about 100 degrees, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Leaving the child in the car was "a substantial lapse of due care" but did not meet the definition of reckless conduct necessary for prosecution, said Clermont County Prosecutor Don White.

Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby, 40, is an assistant principal at Glen Este Middle School, about 20 miles east of Cincinnati. Authorities said she left her 2-year-old daughter, Cecilia, strapped into a car seat in the SUV's back seat while she went into work on Aug. 23.

Nesselroad-Slaby has been on paid leave since her daughter's death. There was no answer at her home phone after the prosecutor's decision was announced, and her lawyer, R. Scott Croswell III, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Croswell has said that Nesselroad-Slaby became distracted from her normal routine of dropping Cecilia at a baby-sitter's house because she stopped to buy doughnuts for a faculty meeting, then forgot about the girl when she unloaded the doughnuts from the back of the vehicle.



Now I ask you..... how the HELL does someone, ANYONE, forget that their 2 YR OLD KID is in the back seat?!?!?!? :eek: :eek:

And HOW is that not prosecutable??? Is that not classified under negligible homicide??

WTF?? :rant:

Bush Threatens Veto of Child Health Bill

THIS is definitely one of those things that makes me want to say WTF?!?!?! even tho I don't use that word.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 — President Bush, bracing for a series of battles with Congress over spending, threatened on Thursday to veto a bill expanding a popular children’s health insurance program, calling it “a step toward federalization of health care.”

The program expires Sept. 30, and Congress is on the verge of renewing it by providing coverage to an additional 4 million children over the 6.6 million already enrolled — at an additional cost of $35 billion over five years. Mr. Bush says the bill would expand a program aimed at helping the poor beyond its original intent.
