Quoting Kelly&Coralie:" Reckless endangerment? Negligent homicide? I wouldn't go for murder or manslaughter But you should know to NEVER walk away from a tub. Nothing is more important."

Quoting MommaSav2:" No IMO she should not be charged. It's a terrible tragedy and it could have been prevented. I'm sure ... [snip!] ... make potentially fatal mistakes all the time. Would you prosecute a mother who didn't anchor her child's dresser to the wall?"

Quoting Blaine Edwards:" *sigh* so sad, and more sad that this kind of thing happens so often. it was an accident, but she ... [snip!] ... be charged with negligence and manslaughter, though i'm not sure of a punishment worse than living with that kind of guilt."

Quoting MommaSav2:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Jas ♥:</b>" Not the same."</blockquote> Ok. But ... [snip!] ... is going to live wih for the rest of her life. I think that's enough and she doesn't need to be prosecuted in my opinion."

Quoting Rumpelstiltskin:" in this case, yeah, she should be charged with something. If her 8 year old were to slip in the shower and hit her head or something, then that would be an accident. "

Quoting тᴀỵ 26:" I was reading a story about the death of a 13 month old. Apparently the LO was in the bath and the parent ... [snip!] ... away. Is the parent at fault or is it purely an 'accident'? Should the parent be charged, if so, what should the charge be?"
