What actually is child endangerment?

On August 23rd, Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby left her child in her car for eight hours while she went into her school for work.

Today, the prosecutor announced that no charges would be filed against the assistant principal.

Out of curiosity, I wonder if there would be charges if the woman was poor, fell asleep and one her children was accidentally hit by car?

There was the famous case of Dr. McDreamy here in Warren County who was charged for simply leaving his kids in the car while he went into a Lowe's for some light bulbs.

Something continues to stink about this case. I don't know if this woman's husband or parents are connected but somehow, it appears to me that she received special treatment here.

The loss of a child is tragic, and I don't think the woman should spend time in jail but she should at least be charged with something....Negligent homicide? Child endangerment?

Somehow I don't think justice was served here and for the next parent that accidentally loses a child from their neglect.
