Mum jailed for tot's death
A mother whose 22-month-old daughter died in a house fire after being left at home alone was jailed for seven-and-a-half years on Thursday. The toddler died from smoke inhalation after an electric fire broke out. During a two-week trial it emerged that mother-of-five Brown left her young daughter unsupervised in an upstairs bedroom while she attended a court hearing relating to one of her other children. The toddler was trapped in an unventilated room for more then 3 hours after the faulty television broke out.

Another case of negligence ??
In this case, the mother was jailed for the action.
You know sometimes it is difficult to get another person to look after the kid when you are busy attending court case.
Moreover in court, you are not allowed to bring the toddler along.
I sort of sympathise with the mother for this case.
