Story here. Excerpt:
'Charges against Tiffany Fraser, a 26-year-old mother accused of putting her young son in an oven for losing a cell phone, were dropped yesterday at the recommendation of Child Protective Services.
Fraser, an Airmont resident, was indicted in May on felony assault and misdemeanor child endangerment charges.
Her son, then 7, was placed in the custody of a foster mother.
"Following recommendations from Child Protective Services and the expressed concerns of the child's foster-care mother, it was concluded that proceeding with the case against Fraser will likely cause further harm to the young victim," District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said in a statement yesterday. "A dismissal of this matter was clearly in the child's best interest."

Trials should not be decided on the feelings of a third party but are a matter between the accused and the prosecution. This decision just shows how feminised the legal system is.
