[NEWS] Gambler Charged with Murder after Letting Kids Die

[iv4n]

The number of tragedies has remained on average at about 38 deaths a year for the past decade, says Jan Null, a consulting meteorologist who records such cases.

Hot car deaths: The children left behind

I first heard about a similar case more than 15 years ago. Even then it was unbelievable to me that someone could "forget" a child in the car for several hours, now that I have my own children something like this sounds unimaginable to me! I don't know what were they thinking about in those moments, what they hoped for... but what they caused is an indescribable tragedy! It's devastating that things like this happen, I don't know what should be done with these people, what measures to take... it's obvious that children are not for everyone!

Actually this does not have to be associated with the type of busyness, even people who are too concentrated on what is in front of their nose will forget things that happened around them or were done a few minutes before.
But this is good as a warning people that one of the fatal negligence by accidentally killing his child can be done while playing casino. So, the main subject is neglectful parents, not playing in casinos.

There was also a similar case in the United States three years when a man left his twin babies in the car and forgot them and they both died from hyperthermia. Although this mistake is very costly, thing like this happens. The global economic crisis is making people absent-minded and confused. Everybody is calculating how to get alternative sources of income and survive.

If they can prove that she did that intentionally, then she should be charged and punished. But she should be considered if it was unintentional. Although it was a case of murder and parental negligence, the US citizen was not sent to prison because even his family including his testified that he loved the children and there was no reason for him to kill them.  

Maybe businesses should consider having children corners where customers can keep their children during transactions. Maybe they can be charged little fees for these services.

This does not happen in Brick n Mortar casinos only.... that mother could have come back from grocery shopping... and the kid could have been sleeping in the car, when she unloaded it... she might have unpacked the groceries... and then poured herself a glass of wine and started gambling on her favorite online gambling site.... forgetting about the child in the car. 

Things like this happens every day.... some people have lots of kids and the mother and father are very tired and mistakes happen. (Look at how many kids die in swimming pools every year) 

This is very sad.... and the mother is going to have to live with that for the rest of her life. (Spending some of that time in jail, where you have lots of time to think about those mistakes)

Damn that's kind of news that makes people hate gambling and gamblers. People should be careful if they own kids. Friggin opening windows of a car can be enough for most of the time. Anyways someone should never leave kids alone in such potentially dangerous locations. Lives worth everything. Especially a kid's life is the most important thing in world. This should be mainly shown to people that own kids and addicted to gambling. Using video monitors can help save many lives.

Negligence beyond any other reason is the why of so many mishaps. The parents might not have forgotten the kids on purpose but most times when the mind is on autopilot, thinking about how to make ends meet while multitasking, becomes a fight for attention.
It is important also to ascertain the composure and preparedness of couples who intend to start having children to check for habits that might cause an incident of such to occur.  Parents should also no matter what, gamble when kids are around or under immediate care, because the attention will be diverted to the most interesting of the two, which is gambling. For the children that don't make noise or cry often, noise bracelet or some form of device that help indicate the presence or absence of them should be used, so as to help the conscious mind keep track of these young ones while doing something else for extra cash.

The case sounds somehow and annoying, a case like this one happen in where I stay, the woman left his children in his car and visited a store, which I don't know maybe she forgot that she left children in car, actually the children didn't die they were rushed to the nearest hospital and they were treated.
Am sure cases like this happen but it's kind of annoying how will you be careless and forget your children in car just because you want to gamble, that's really painful I think the woman is just addicted to gambling and she should be punished for killing innocent children.

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.

IMO, she much have been too high or too stupid to do such things now again the gambling become the topic but the real reason is negligence in the parenting so can we debate that girls are not supposed to give birth until they get a certificate in the parenting?

This is disturbing and I hope we don't see anymore of such news.That is the highest level of addiction seen here as you forget your kids in a hot car until they die.Even the worst gambler in my country where I live from many years and trust me there are a lot here never put their gambling addiction before their kids.This in the news is an extremely rare occurrence which I hope will not repeat itself anymore.I wonder for what it needs to live now this woman,I think it is better for her to die rather than live with such a huge regret for her entire life,life for her has no meaning anymore.Truly one of the worst news I have ever seen.

Whatever you're doing you should always take your child/ren a priority at all times rather than just putting yourself to satisfy your pleasures for a moment. I/we don't know if the mother was just careless or doesn't care at all but as a parent you should know the responsibilities anywhere else you go, it always has.

[karabiber]

The drama of a reckless parent. This might not have happened to him if he had gambled online but in that case he shouldn't have gone to the grocery store either. The important thing is to be very careful. You may be an addict but that shouldn't get in the way of your family. This is an example of real addicts acting without knowing the consequences. Sometimes you can be distracted. In this case, an unfortunate event may happen to you. My friend left his dog in the car on the way to the market and the dog passed out from suffocation. The important thing is not to be addicted but to be careful. If you are not careful you will lose in every field.

It's really sad to hear this kind of stories popping out because it involved the life of a young kind and the parents are irresponsible to leave him in the car since we are in a heat wave right now and didn't think for a second that she is endangering her kids. And it's too late now for her, and it's a hard lessons for the mother but hopefully the wheel of justice will roll and she should be in jail for a long time for letting this happen because of her gambling addiction.

[Dave1]

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.

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.

Yes, from time to time, we will see this sort of news about irresponsible parents leaving their children on car, if not children, their pets and then they come back to find out that they are dead. And it's really hard to fathom the mindset of such individuals, the minute your children left you you should be nervous or panic already. But this addicted gamblers decision is really clouded that they don't know the consequences of their actions.

Hot car deaths: The children left behind

The bad thing about this is that it is an absolutely preventable cause of death and it is not very clear to me what one could try to do to prevent these deaths. I guess people are not aware of the risk, and I can't imagine what it would be like to come back to your car and see that your child has died because of your carelessness.

If it's because you're a gambling addict, that's a different story.

[yazher]

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.  

Not only did she take the risk of losing her money, but she also took the risk of losing her children when she leaves them in the car without thinking of what possibly can do. Now that the unimaginable has happened, she should be jailed for everything that happened, and also this will become a lesson for the others who don't take care of their children when playing.

Yeah, and that is the thing here, the mother is a gambling addict to for her, the priority is placing her bets first above all, including the husband and 2 kids. And now the mother can do is to ask forgiveness from her death kids. And hopefully, gamblers here will not do the same, and will have to think otherwise now specially if you will have to be blame for taking the lives of 2 innocent angel.

This is the world we live in today. People let their addictions run their lives. They should fry the lady and make an example out of her so that it might be a lesson to anyone else who may do this type of thing. Gambling is fun and cool, but get a damn babysitter and take care of your kids. If you have money to gamble, you have 20$ to pay someone so that your children are safe.

[TopTort777]

Sometimes I want people, that wants to have kids, run and pass sort of a KYC before they give birth to a child. Because frankly, there is a category of people who should not be allowed to have kids. They dont deserve to be parents. Just cant imagine how that women easily left her 17 month kid alone. Probably left her kid with a gadget and left. Crazy people that value placing a bet more than a life.

[Adbitco]

If i would ask simple question concerning those kids, was the car put off or On and if On were the air condition put On or if off were glasses roll up. How long were they left to stay inside the car?
If the air condition were On then i think their death wasn't the cause of leaving them inside car to place a bet. If i may asked, what about those sleeping inside a car without the air condition being put On and yet they woke up the next morning, same questions asked about those on a road traffic for about 4 hours mostly common to African countries especially Nigeria yet do not die inside car.

I think further investigation should be carried out on what kind of food and water they consume at home before leaving the house, and also what was their health status.

Lastly i will advise any parent that gambles to get adopted to online gambling to avoid further damages on their home.

This is very unfortunate and very heartbreaking for the mother I read the article that she loves her children and there was no history of abuse its hard to take this for a mother this is unintentional, she doesn't know that putting her children will result in that, this is a careless mistake

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.”

Losing your children before you, especially in this case will haunt the mother its good that her family is very supportive of her I hope they will consult a psychologist so they can help her overcome this, this is a big lesson to make sure you always attend to your children's safety before yours.
