Mother charged with manslaughter after baby choked on popcorn kernel (youtube.com)
What is going on in US law? Isn't it bad enough this happened? There was a case about a baby dying of obesity-related stuff too and they charged the two parents (who did not appear particularly educated or thin).
In this case, the government is charging her saying that binge drinking alcohol 'created an unjustifiable risk.'
And giving the babies popcorn was 'conscious disregard for a known choking hazard for young children.'
The government says she can't be relied on to return to court so they're holding her in jail on $250k bail.
Is the state 'negligent' for millions of crimes because it continues to sell alcohol? Nope, because it has all the force.
