Different justice system for women?

HAMILTON— A Hamilton father charged last week with negligent homicide, after his 5-year-old son died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, was arrested Monday night, Aug. 3.

David Nesbitt, 35, of North West Washington Boulevard, was taken into custody on the first-degree misdemeanor charge at about 6:15 p.m. and posted a $1,500 bond, according to police Sgt. Tom Kilgour, pubic affairs supervisor.

Nesbitt was arraigned in Hamilton Municipal Court this morning, Aug. 4, where a pre-trial hearing was set for 8 a.m. Aug. 18.

Nesbitt’s son, Zachariah, died July 18 at The Fort Hamilton Hospital after he accidentally shot himself at home with a 9 mm Glock handgun

I think the father should be held accountable, but why not arrest the 2 mothers who had left their daughters to die of heat exhaustion in their cars?  I recall the prosecutor saying the mothers/families had suffered enough.  This man hasn't suffered enough?

It's not a "double standard" thats involved. It's the fact that a GUN was involved. Had the two women you mention used guns they would have recieved the same,probably.

I agree with you 100%,the women in question should have gone to jail but got off scott free. The LAW says any time a GUN is involved the rules are more stringent. Just watch the news,the criminals who use guns get a much more severe penalty than ones who don't,and the next thing your going to say is this was not criminal and thats true but a gun was used. What do you think would have happened to the father had the child used a kitchen knife ?

Alldaywatching---A knife was used in when a child climbed up on a desk and stabbed his younger brother.  Was non-fatal, but I think was serious.  A knife was left in place for a small child to stab another.  No charges filed. 

I completely agree

I disagree with anyone NOT being charged with leaving a child in a car on a hot day, or any day, male or female. That is intentional, you know what you're doing. That's what strollers are for.

The child that shot him self mentioned above, who was in the apartment when it happened? It's been awhile since I've heard anything about this story. I thought the mother was home.
