I don't want to get into a debate, but I did want to point out that
according to the news article Ms. Newkirk was a friend of the boy's
father, so she was not a complete stranger. Perhaps the father saw his
son rejoin Ms. Newkirk and expected she would either watch him or bring
him back.

She had ALREADY brought the kid back to his father once,
and had ALREADY warned him of the dangerous water.

Keep tabs on this case, her conviction will be overturned on
appeal. You can count on CourtTV/Fox News/MSNBC
jumping on her like some kind of monster.
