They should be!
I agree that the mother should be charged.
So do prosecutors. Authorities announced today that the stupid negligent bitch will be charged with manslaughter when she's released from the hospital (she was admitted when she threatened to kill herself).
Barker left Cheyenne in the car with all the windows up and the air on, set between cool and heat. She says she only meant to stay at other officer's home for a few minutes but they both fell asleep. The male officer was fired but isn't being charged because he reportedly didn't know Cheyenne was outside in the car.
Turns out, this wasn't the first time that Cassie Barker left little Cheyenne alone in a car. She did the same thing last year at a strip mall while she went shopping. Someone saw the child alone in the car and called police.
Barker was suspended for one week without pay and her one-year probationary period was extended by 90 days. The Department of Human Services also took temporary custody of Cheyenne.
