        It probably affects people differently and in quite serious cases could lead to this kind of behaviour. I am not a medic tbough and not making excuses.

        I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. What a terrible tragedy. Gold bless the little girl and strength to her mother. This isn’t something that she will ever be able to forget.

        If it had been the father everyone would be calling him a deadbeat lowlife and the justice system wouldn't hesitate to lock him up and throw away the key, but because vagina she barely gets a slap on the wrist.

        If she was drunk then this is manslaughter, if not murder. There is no excuse for it at all. The 12 month suspended sentence is a joke.

        A mother getting drunk is unacceptable. Esp if she's the child's sole carer. If it were a father/carer anyone. No discrimination.

        Her actions were criminally negligent, though to suggest that she should lose her life as a consequence points to a real lack of humanity on your part.

        If you say so. Alcohol related deaths/abuses are one the highest known crimes recorded in our country. So forgive me if I don't show enough sympathy. I'd rather place it where it's needed more.

        As a non-drinker I don't need to be lectured on the reality of alcohol. Nonetheless, advocating that this woman should die as a consequence is reprehensible. It is perhaps posturing on your part, though if not you really need to question your values.

        So what you're saying is if all mothers got drunk. End up 'Neglecting' their children. Where in turn they either were at Death Dangerous or even Died as a Consequence. That would sit well with you now would it?
