It's time the judicial system treats this with greater severity. Minimum 5 year prison sentence and lifetime license revocation of driving privileges, would be an excellent start since the act of leaving that child to die was truly intentional. 


Germany and other advanced countries hand out lifetime driver's license revocations for DUI's, some like Canada deny entry for life for DUI, maybe things like hit and run involving bodily injury should be so considered here in America since it is often fatal, and if not fatal, leaves one with huge medical expenses and sometimes life long problems as the victims.


She showed no empathy or mercy, why should society not punish such people more severely on conviction for this serious offense, especially  if it results in serious bodily injury or death?
