I respectfully disagree. You can legislate against child abuse, or pass laws against child endangerment.
You can't legislate against parental stupidity. As the article states, this seems to be legal. It would not be endangerment unless you could prove an accident is the likely result. I agree with you that she put her baby at greater risk. But I don't see any difference between this and cell phones in the legal sense.
