Mistakes do happen, but when mistakes happen, we don't let somebody off the hook. There are multiple studies that confirm that humans need some amount of retribution so that they feel something was done to address the inappropriateness of the action. This is not just a mistake, a child died because of the ineptitude of this worker.
The quality of people for this job is already significantly reduced due to the abusive situation they often have to work in, the extreme lack of benefits, and the extremely low pay. This person facing punishment isn't going to reduce the amount of applicants for this position because those applicants aren't applying because they like the job, they're applying because they feel a higher call.
Just because there should have been two people doesn't mean you let the person that negligently killed a child off the hook. I can be angry at the state for not supplying enough resources for these cps workers, but I can also be angry at this particular person for allowing a child to die in a hot car. I failed to see, by the way, how that could be anything other than gross negligence.
Furthermore, parents often have to deal with their child on a one-on-one scenario where this does happen to them, and it's still not an excuse for that to happen, and those parents do get charged, and if they have other kids, CPS does get involved.
So to recap, this worker was put in a situation that parents face all the time and negligingly forgot a child in a hot car. Even if it was not done maliciously, that does not excuse her actions, and she should face retribution for the consequences of her actions. And then you're defending that we shouldn't want retribution from this person because that might put people off from working in child protective services?
I think your empathy may be blinding you here, comrade.
