Highest risk? Death was almost guaranteed in this case.

jesus christ, the mother was fucking 20, and she was allowed to take the children into the lobby but opted out of it.
she blatently knew and asked about her options and chose the one with the highest risk.

She did leave the car running, but it shut off after an hour.
It’s still super negligent to leave a 1 and 2 year old alone in public for 2.5h, regardless of the weather.

Well the conditioning part of the air turned off when the engine turned off. The police reported the air was still going but warm when they arrived. Meaning she murdered her child and will likely get off with some kind of child neglegence charge.
She deserves worse, but honestly I can’t see a judge thinking she won’t have already received punishment by losing her child.

Murder requires intent. Her intent was that the car would be running the whole time she was in the appointment. That makes it negligent manslaughter.

its only guaranteed because of the amount of time the surgery took in the end. if it was shorter, it would have been averted. (say if it eas hour 10 or 20, would have been still negligent but they would probably be alive. the actual time was double that)
basically there was a chain of decisions and events that led to the deaths, but she still chose the one where the worst outcome was potentially death.

they knew she had children, but im not completely aware she asked the day of the appointment or not. its completely possible she asked when booking the appointment on a different day. its just at some point the establishment was asked.
