This makes me sick!

From AP: MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. -- A woman who left her 22-month-old grandson inside a burning vehicle early Sunday was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and turned herself in to authorities on Monday.

Endangering the welfare of a child? Give me a break!

So and So, 41, was released on her own recognizance after a short hearing in Superior Court.

Authorities did not lay out their case in the court proceeding.

Why not?

Police said So and So, 41, of Mount Laurel, was driving in a rural section of Eastampton Township shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday when her Ford Bronco ran off the road, starting a fire in the engine compartment.

So and So went to a nearby house to call for help but did not mention that her grandson, Never Had-a-chance, was in the car until 10 minutes later when a police officer arrived, authorities said.

Did not mention he was in the car? She left him inside a burning vehicle?

By the time rescue crews arrived, the fire had engulfed the vehicle, killing the child.

Burlington County Prosecutor Robert D. Bernardi said he would ask a grand jury to consider whether more severe charges might be warranted.

More severe charges? How about 2nd degree murder?

Just Damn!
