Yahoo! News - Daily Choice Turned Deadly: Children Left on Their Own: "Brooklyn prosecutors argue that no matter what, Ms. Brathwaite should not have left her children, 9-year-old Justina Mason and 1-year-old Justin Brathwaite, alone in a basement apartment in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn, especially children as young and vulnerable as hers. "
And I would have to agree with them. I do not care how responsible they say that this child was. In the end, a 9 year old does not have the skills to care for a 1 year old unsupervised. On the other hand, the woman does not deserve 16 years in prision for trying to take care of her children's finacial needs. She is going to have to deal with the death of those children and the wrong mistake she made in choosing between them and a job, a choice I would not be sure I would have made differently if I had to make it myself.
Let the critics come out of the high dollar homes and go take care of the children instead of sending her to jail.

I must apologize for not posting much this week, It has been a weird week. I am up in the offfice during the days in a training class, and my usual hours have kinda disapeared so I sleep when I can etc. Any way, all should be back to normal next week.
