Re: Child neglect case

The question might be; did the caretaker have any backup plan. Though if it was an unexpected trip to the emergency room hard to come down on the caretaker.

A lot will depend on the age of the child and lots of facts not included in your post.

In any case Mother needs to get an attorney ASAP.
