    Leaving a 4 year old child alone at home is a crime. And that too leaving the window open !! At the same time, it also needs to be understood that lot of parents are not able to afford the charges to bring a maid from home country or elsewhere and hiring one from here is illegal. If the charges are reduced, there could be an end to leaving children alone.

    No need to predict = a child died for the simple reason that she was left unattended. An adult did not take responsibility. This is a crime. In the west social services deals with it severely. Sad. More awareness should be made about the issue.

    Whatever happens, never leave a child unattended. Second accident in few months. Expecting kids to stop being kids and not move.
