Grandmother Found Guilty in Tragic Child Fall | Annapolis News
Description
A Maryland grandmother, Lorraine O’Neill, 68, was found guilty of neglect after her 7-year-old grandson fell from her car on I-97 and was struck by another vehicle—she didn’t realize he was missing until 11 miles later. The child had been playing with the rear window while the child lock was off. Now facing up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine, her sentencing is set for October 2nd. Prosecutors emphasized the gravity of child supervision, while acknowledging the heartbreaking loss for O’Neill and the trauma felt by witnesses. This case serves as a sobering reminder: one lapse can have devastating consequences.
