      Why does she need serious help? Did she hurt or harm the child? It's an unfortunate incident that could happen to anyone.

    Did they do an autopsy? Most likely the baby died from SIDS.

      Early this month according to the article so plenty time fir autopsy to have been completed. Hence findings made and decision to charge them with manslaughter

    Very interesting comment. I have no knowledge of the facts of the case, but it would be very surprising if they were charged with manslaughter for an unfortunate accident that could happen to anyone.....

    Manslaughter? Curious - What ever happen to the guy who forgot his baby in the car and the woman who ran over her child and killer her? Did they get manslaughter charges too?
