Parents Do Time For Baby Dying Of Neglect

JIM THORPE, Pa. — Two eastern Pennsylvania parents whose baby daughter was left alone in a car seat in a hot room for several hours and died have been sentenced to time behind bars.

Authorities say the Palmerton couple's daughter had no food or water for 16 hours.

A judge sentenced Kimberly Taschler to 14 months to 3 1/2 years in prison. Husband Jacob Taschler was sentenced to 11 months to two years.

Authorities allege the Taschlers had neglected 11-month-old Kayla even before her death in January 2010.

Of course they did.  Rarely do healthy normal people just neglect a child until it dies.  That girl likely suffered her entire life.

The mother cried and said she was overwhelmed.  What the hell ever.  While she was busy being overwhelmed, a little girl died.  She didn't get the chance to be overwhelmed, or to see the sun rise today.

No pity.  No second chance.  These kids deserve safety, and the only way to deter morons like this is to make them fear the punishment.
