Alicia Brown, 25, entered the plea before Judge Paul A. Hackner in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court in Annapolis. The State asked Judge Hackner to incarcerate Ms. Brown. He sentenced her to three years, suspending all but five days in jail, to begin today. Ms. Brown was placed on supervised probation for three years. She was ordered to continue general counseling and to not enter any casino or gaming facility.
“Leaving a young child unattended in a vehicle is not only dangerous, it’s illegal. Even a quick run into a convenience store can result in tragic consequences, such as injury, car theft or abduction,” Leitess said. “This case is particularly disturbing as Ms. Brown left her child unattended for not minutes, but hours. We are fortunate this case did not have a more tragic outcome.”

Why do people like her even have children. Obviously she doesn't care about the child and probably doesn't even want her since she's more interested in gambling than the care of the child. What a wonderful memory for this little one when she gets older.
I truly hope that there is a special ring of hell for people like this. It's appalling that someone could actually do such a thing to a child.
I think 5 days was incredibly lenient. Its little wonder that crime is as bad as it is when the penalties are so weak there ate hardly a deterrent.
