This is so horrible and irresponsible. 🙁

A sad situation that she will have to live with knowing her own actions resulted in the loss of her daughters life. Drink driving is bad enough but also swerving at a moped – she could have also killed them…

Oh, how heartbreaking – for all parties

This is such a horrible story. One would think (and hope) the mother is grieving and is devastated by the loss of her daughter.
she made a very silly decision to drive while under the influence and while I know everyone makes mistakes drink driving causes horrible events to follow. As an emergency service worker I see this first hand and its horrible
Another silly mistake putting the child in the boot of the vehicle. It was lucky noone else was killed including the rider/passenger of the moped

I hope the license starts at the end of her parole, not from when she leaves gaol. personally I don’t believe she should be allowed to drive again.
She was over double the legal alcohol limit (.05 is legal limit). Unless she was driving a station wagon the passenger in the boot wouldn’t have known what was going on.

Drink driving alone is dangerous, but to put your own child in the boot of a car? No way! Alcohol makes people make bad choices, which is why I don’t drink anymore.

that is really sad. never drink and then drive.

Oh my goodness. How tragic. She has a life sentence to deal with as well

Can’t imagine how she will live with the guilt of what she has done.

This actually a very disturbing story. I don’t understand how anyone can get so drunk that they do such stupid things, let alone doing it around teenage kids…

DUI is so wrong – what a horrible thing to happen. So glad the penalty is tough. Still really for her though.

What a terrible tragedy. To lose a child is devastating but through and accident you caused would be totally heartbreaking. Although, I do agree she must face some form of punishment for her actions.

She really does need to be punished and I’m sure the death of her child will be a life sentence.
