In Bristol it has been reported that a 2 year old boy drowned in a garden pond whilst his 44 year old grandmother was passed out on the sofa indoors. The parents were in a nearby pub. The child wasn't missed until 10.30 p.m. All three adults were given suspended prison sentences. Am I being unreasonable in thinking the grandmother should have gone to prison? I am sure she is very sorry for the death of her grandson but she was totally irresponsible to drink to the extent she did whilst she was looking after this little boy.
I don't have children, so no grandchildren, so I would be interested to know the views of grandparents out there.
