    Some people are just stupid. And stupidity very often correlates with the volume of the artificial lips.

        It wasn’t deliberate killing (at least I think so…). Just a stupidity of an enormous scale.

              Neglect, she knew apparently it wasn’t a good idea, yet she still did it. Even just locking her kids in the car for 2.5 hours unattended should be considered neglect, no matter the temperature.
