The judge who oversaw Candelario’s case, Brendan Sheehan, said traveling out of state while leaving a toddler home alone without food was “the ultimate betrayal” that deserved one of the harshest legal punishments available.
judge convicted Kristel Candelario of a life sentence without parole. As he passed down the sentence, he spoke the following words: “Just as you didn’t let Jailyn out of her confinement, so too you should spend the rest of your life in a cell without freedom. The only difference will be, the prison will at least feed you and give you liquid that you denied her.”

I heard about this case this too...unbelievable...
I wonder if she could have thought about trying to get a babysitter or perhaps speaking to someone about what she was doing leaving a child with limited food and water for that many days...at least she could have called someone to save the baby...
If someone does not want or unable to care for a child...she could have left her at (a place that actually exists) which does not blame or shame mothers or fathers, who for what ever reason...can leave a child in their care...
Such a place exists due to women/girls having a hard time with giving birth and not being able to care for the infant properly...no one is charged with neglect as it is often teenagers who are prone to acting rash in such situations...it is a way out...
In saying this...she could have done this and gone on her vacation...without putting the child in jeopardy...
My only question to her is did she think the child would be unharmed being left alone for 10 days?...the repercussions of abandoning the child is far less problematic than a dead child...
