Mom goes on a job interview, leaves her 2 year old and baby locked in a car with the window open 1 inch. Authorities said the temperature inside the car was around 100 degrees (this occurred in Arizona). Now her lawyer says she had no choice and she is a victim of her economic circumstances.

What are your thoughts?

I will withhold my opinion until later, so as not to be accused of slanting things right off the bat.
