Well, here we go again! In addition to Raye Dawn Smith and Tabitha Pollock (who was exonerated after serving six years), the OK "should have known" law has now led to the arrest of a mother of three in Oklahoma City. This law is becoming a clear and present danger to the civil liberties of ANY mother in OK who leaves her child(ren) in the care of anyone should the worst occur and an injury or death results.

Slain girl's mom faces complaint in city

By Jay F. Marks

An Oklahoma City mother was arrested Wednesday after police concluded she knew it was dangerous to leave her three children in the care of her boyfriend.

Elizabeth Nicole Guerrero initially told Oklahoma City police her boyfriend had never before been violent with her or her children after he was arrested July 19 in the abuse of her 2-year-old daughter, according to court papers.

Liliana Rebecca Rodriguez died the next day from injuries she suffered at the hands of Herman Bailon, her mother's boyfriend, police said.
After investigators confronted Guerrero, 27, about scars on Liliana's legs, she admitted Bailon had hurt the girl before July 19, Detective Tony Foreman wrote in an arrest warrant affidavit. Guerrero said Bailon whipped the girl with a telephone cord for fighting with her older sister.

Guerrero told Foreman she always "digs a hole” by picking men who abuse her or her children, the affidavit states. Police sought the arrest warrant for Guerrero after learning she left her three children with Bailon even though she knew he had been violent with Liliana in the past and was getting frustrated about being stuck at the motel with the children, according to the affidavit.

Here's the question that OK citizens should be asking: what if a mother who leaves her kid(s) with a reliable and competent babysitter to only go out for a couple of hours has a terrible accidental injury or death tragedy occur while she was gone? Is she going to be unjustly prosecuted because "she should have known" that leaving a child in the care of a sitter "could" lead to that tragedy occurring? No matter that the sitter had an excellent record of child care? Under the "should have known" law, odds are high that she would be. This could mean that more moms are going to be scared to death of leaving their kids with anyone or of going anywhere without them.

I'm wondering how many more victims this dangerous "should have known" law is going to claim. It has already claimed at least three. Is law enforcement in Oklahoma so desperate to lock up more people to fill their prisons that they want to get two "perps" for the price of one in each case?

In each of the three cases, police already had the actual murderers of the children in custody and charged them, as they should be charged. So why do they find it necessary to charge the women who NEVER committed the crime to begin with? It seems to me that they just make up these cases as they go along, and the women who have tragically lost their children to violence become victims of the murderers as well.

We all know the saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." It appears that the road to police state tyranny is paved the same way. Mad
