<< <<NEW YORK, May 19 (Reuters) - A young mother was found guilty of
criminally
negligent homicide Wednesday after jurors decided she bore some
responsibility for the death from starvation of the baby she was
breast-feeding. In reaching the verdict, the jury found Tabitha Walrond, 21,
innocent of the more serious charge of manslaughter. >>
Sad state of affairs...this mom was one who fell through all the cracks.

And, as someone pointed out to me, if this mom had been a middle-class,
married Caucasion whose baby had died from strict adherence to the Ezzo
program, she never would have seen the inside of a courtroom!
