[NEWS] Gambler Charged with Murder after Letting Kids Die

[PX-Z]

A careless mother’s casino time resulted in her children’s death. The neglectful parent had left her kids in a hot car to place a few punts at a local casino without considering the consequences.

This is the saddest news I read today. I knew this case isn't possible when in online gambling but this is possible for other unfortunate circumstances too especially at home or somewhere else when you're doing your online gambling activity.

This should be a lesson to take to all parents out there that family is priority first before anything else especially children.

I wonder if there are parents who have experienced something like this or someone knew that has the same case, not with the one with a dead case though but something accident happened because of neglect parenting.

Hopefully it's made the news because it's a very rare occurance.

I've not seen a report similar to this before (there have been cases where people have broken windows because someone's left their kids/pets in the car while they went to the supermarket and it got too hot but that's not as relevant as someone gambling) - these are normally social media posts too and aren't normally in the news.

[Oshosondy]

People should know the consequences of leaving kids in the car, this is not the first I have known about. I even read about adult one on the news in my country after some people slept in a car overnight after leaving a bar, they all dead. Also about the one that jackg is talking aabout, I have read about the one that the dad went for shopping but forget his kid in the car, he child died.

This one is just related to gambling, but several ones has occurred in the past that is not related to gambling.

What that do happen is that the father or the mother forget their kid in the car, before they remember, they child could have died, especially if is in a hot sunny day.

If the news is true that the woman left his two kids in the car for over 6 hours, that is carelessness. Maybe she thought she has dropped them at home. I couldn't think of what let to this, but all the news may not be true than how a mother left his children in a car and they died.

The mother is seeing support from his husband and family, which is what that do happen after such bad incident occur. There are many in the past that is not about gambling, other events had led to it in the past.

Does the media used by children make him a suspect? like in this case the casino. I think it sounds ironic if a tragedy that makes the casino a factor in the death. I certainly agree with your clearly parent-focused assumption. Because here gambling or a place to play punches at the casino you don't see it as a mistake.

This is very sad news, a mother is willing to leave her child in the car while she plays gambling for hours there, maybe she is so addicted that she is so free when she plays but she forgets her child to death, this incident I just heard now.

I will never neglect my family, especially children, I play gambling when I have free time and it is not accompanied when I play with my children. Of course I have to have time with my family and children to play because I don't want this to happen.

But that's why I can still control what I can, so what the child or family needs, I put it first.

[cabron]

She left the kid in the car to go inside the casino. Great mom!
If its just too chronically itchy that you really need to bet to feed you addiction, you can do it online.  Casino is right on the palm of you hands mom!  Did not read actually  but I would assume she drank much inside and forgot she brought a kid with her.

update: Headline says KIDS not just one.

That is how gambling should be, I too just gamble when I have free time, I have free time during weekends, I bet mostly on football, which is a perfect time for me. I am an online gambler than visiting a casino. Visiting a casino could be different, there is more pleasure derived from visiting casino, just like going to bar to have some fun. But regardless of what we would call it, it is her carelessness that led to her children's death.

Her carelessness led to his children'd death, but it may not be willingly like you said, there have been many that have happened in the past that a mother or a father would forget totally that her or his child or children are inside the car. We must be careful, watchful, be vigilant and be a good parent. If the women is innocent, she would also now be in pain, like her life is taken from her already. That is why I just hate this kind of thing to occur, but it do occur. This has been the first I have heard of, that is related to gambling.

I don’t fully understand the news so correct me if I’m wrong. The mother leave his kids on the car without AC turn on that result to suffocation due to the heat?

Yes, the mother leaves those children on the car and yes, AC is probably off too since it's not recommended to turn the engine on and the AC for several hours assuming the mother leaves the children for several hours.
Also it's highly not recommended leaving your children in those hot area are like vegas which turns to same this unfortunate incident.

Found some local news of car-related incident of elder or young ones or pets inside the car who seeks help due to suffocation or something then someone break the window too like what you and jackg mentioned.

[electronicash]

leaving her kids for six hour unattended while they were just 2 and 3 yr old kids. what the husband would do to this woman is unimaginable. but this is is also very tragic for a mother losing 2 kids. she will probably not forgive herself with this.  

[Apocollapse]

This problem isn't about she's a gambler, but she's careless. I remembered there's a news about careless guy that walk away from lift, but his dog still stuck inside the lift and it make dog's neck choke due to the rope. I don't remember the dog is die or survived, but I think it's a stupid mistake done from the guy.

I'm just think why she need to bring their kids while she want to gamble which is not a short time, she shouldn't bring any kids if she want to do anything alone.

[YOSHIE]

I read the news about the case of their child's death in the car, despite some objections from the female cousin, my response was absurd and ridiculous.

From what I read, I draw the conclusion:

Leaving one’s kids unattended to gamble is considered to be an offense. Casinos would usually ban such visitors from playing. Unfortunately, many people choose to ignore these rules and still go for a few wagers while their kids wait in the car.

That's the result of gambling addiction, reckless, didn't the woman think about leaving her child in the car in the heat, didn't she think about gambling without remembering her sons and daughters were in the car, This is an omission from the mother herself, clearly the warning from the casino states as above, prohibited.

For me, this case should be given a severe punishment for the mother, so that other mothers who are addicted to gambling will be reminded with punishment if they cause their children to die because of carelessness.

I am sure not all gamblers are like this! This is a classic example of uneducated people who doesn't know the consequence of keep a child inside a car parked in open during daytime. It's bad parenting and no mercy should be shown to these morons who risked their child's life for some mare gambling activities. Honestly I have never seen such incident before. People don't even leave their pets inside a car without keeping the AC on and this was a human baby. Deeply saddened to see a death resulting out of this incident. It's a moronic act and these people should be treated in a similar way by the court of law.

Everything could really happen even on things that we didnt expect for it to happen into that certain extent but well we do know that addiction could really cause that mind disruption
which would really lead into having that thinking which isnt already normal since you've been minding on playing no matter what or being desperate which would cause that you would
might able to leave and forget things behind even on your loved ones. Basing on the incident on OP then now that mother will really be facing up on the consequences yet
she let her kids die because of negligence or on that severe addiction.She would not able to play gambling for long years or in forever inside prison.

[bittraffic]

Seeing that she can afford entertain herself in the casino, therefore her family can afford to pay baby sitter to look after the kids. Now she gonna stand trial for not hiring instead. All that falls to her not being responsible enough. As a result, she will not just lose her kids but also her freedom.

I wonder why it's called murder though.

[Wexnident]

Oh man this isn't even just about gambling imo, it's about proper child management in general. Man idk how the idea of leaving a 2 and 3 year old kid in a car for 6 hours was a good idea on her end. And it's even more so considering how her cousin described her as a "caring mother".

The culprit’s cousin, Lisacious Williams, meanwhile, said that the situation couldn’t have been deliberate. According to Williams, Battle was a really caring mother and the whole situation must be a “careless mistake.”

It wasn't a simple "careless" mistake,  it was a lethal mistake. One I'd consider a "caring" mother wouldn't make imo.

I wonder why it's called murder though.

I think it's considered a negligent homicide, if I used that correctly?

Without a doubt it is a very sad news, now I can understand that people are not perfect and we make mistakes, however for a kid or a pet to die inside a car under hot weather is something that takes a lot of time.

Even if the mother somehow forgot about the children as long as she became aware of the mistake in a few minutes then nothing bad would have happened, so we are talking about a very severe case of negligence, because as far as I know it is widely known that doing something like this is a very bad idea and it can lead to death, as it did in this case.

[Darker45]

This could happen whether you are in a brick and mortar or online casino. The moment you're hooked on gambling whether online or not, your entire focus and attention could be totally absorbed by the games and your bets to the point that you forget your responsibilities and everything else.

It's just unfortunate that the kids had to die. And, of all, it's a mother who failed. This is so sad. It would have been better if the kids went hungry for a while, or was fetched late at school, or wasn't attended to in his/her recital presentation because of negligence. But it took their lives. This mother should go to jail.

[ethereumhunter]

This is the importance of parental supervision of their children and should not be careless in leaving their children without their parents. The case is sad news where parents don't pay attention to their children and instead leave them to play gambling.

When you want to play gambling at a local casino, you have to make sure that your children are safe so you can leave the house without worrying and what you have to worry about next is how much money you spend on the gambling table.

Your children are your priority before you leave them and never leave them alone unattended. We would not know what they would do without us and because of that, we can ask for help from other family members to look after the children while we are away.

[uneng]

This is the saddest news I read today. I knew this case isn't possible when in online gambling but this is possible for other unfortunate circumstances too especially at home or somewhere else when you're doing your online gambling activity.

Yes, when parents are negligent they will be like that in any situations and environments. I don't doubt there are gamblers who play online and still don't pay attention to their children, don't feed them, don't talk to them and don't supply every other basic demands children have on that period of their lives. Many of these cases remain in silence until something more extreme happens, like the event shared by you reported on the news.
Unfortunatelly from times to times we hear stories about kids who died locked inside cars at the parking while the parents are shopping on the mall or supermarket, but I must say it's the first time I hear kids have died because the parent was actually gambling at a casino. That is shocking and repulsive.

Yes, the mother leaves those children on the car and yes, AC is probably off too since it's not recommended to turn the engine on and the AC for several hours assuming the mother leaves the children for several hours.

Unfortunately, every year there is some news like that in my country. People who leave their children in the car in the summer in the sun, going shopping or whatever, and because of the overheating of the sun and the fact that young children are more vulnerable, they end up dying.

This is the first time I've seen it related to gambling, though, that the mother had gone to the casino. It's a mixture of irresponsibility and not being aware of the possible consequences.
