How about we stop wasting our time shaming mom and get down to pragmatics.
How should she actually be punished?
No more zoo privileges ? ( just in Cincinnati or throughout the US ?)
Kids taken away and put in foster care ?
Just her youngest taken away until he's old enough to know better ?
Lose her job at day care ?
Maybe some jail time ?
A fine?
What kind of punishment would allow you to feel that justice had been done?

No, no -- there must be blame and punishment. Otherwise how will others feel superior?

And my hope is that the local county prosecutor gets that and calls it what it is - a tragedy that will long effect everyone involved, but certainly not a crime.
He's landed on the right side of a lot of tough decisions lately so we'll see.
