A 7-year-old girl died after falling from a moving SUV onto the freeway in South California, and her mother and the woman’s boyfriend have been charged in connection with her death.

The child’s mother Veronda Gladney, 28, of Lancaster, and her boyfriend Michael Branch, 39, of Hawthorne, were arrested Saturday and charged with child endangerment after the girl was found dead in the roadway, according to California Highway Patrol.

A 911 call came in around 3:30 a.m. Saturday about an “unknown object being struck,” blocking the roadway northbound on Interstate 5 at Weldon Canyon Road, according to the California Highway Patrol incident report.
=================================================
I wonder of they knew they were missing someone when they got home.

Hard to fall out a window with a seatbelt on and the window shut. How much thinking does that take?
 
I feel terrible for all those other drivers. The girl's suffering was horrific, but brief; they're going to be living with this for the rest of their lives.

They left their daughter to become roadkill.

Our state needs to bring back the death penalty for people like this.
