To me, this says that if you are simply ignorant, you can do just about whatever you want. They thought she just had a cold? Not only should these people have been punished for effectively killing their child, but also ignoring good common sense. How is that not a factor? I can see future parents who neglect their child claim that they just "didn't know" how serious the situation was in order to evade the law.
