I wonder if she's devoutly anti-abortion.

You get in the car with three kids; you get out of the car with three kids.

How difficult is that?!!

They say it's easy to forget. Hell, I wouldn't want to be in those families.

Don't have more children than you can count when tired, upset, or stressed. Or any combination thereof.

In my mother's case, that was one. In mine, zero.

Of course, had the baby been a dog, no one would stand for melting it in an car oven.

"Hey, I just ran into the store for five minutes and I got delayed." "The dog is fine -- I cracked the window an inch." That sort of thing.

The people who leave babies have a lapse of memory that they will pay for for the rest of their lives. There might be some incidents where parents intentionally fried their kids, but the vast majority are horrible mistakes.

She left her in the car on purpose? Because that is the definition of "murder."

Maybe you can call her up and tell her you think she is a murderer. I guess she deserves more punishment beyond living the rest of her life in hell and regret.

if parents are not practicing retroactive birth control.

and the little kid who kept you up all night over the last few nights is finally asleep.

It's not as hard as you might think and it happens more often than you'd think. If it happens in winter, the kid lives.

this is a total nightmare. What is wrong?

seat. Poor little thing was strapped in that shit.

We get tragic evidence of it, every day.

Sadly, there always seems to be a few who can't manage it, and they're the ones who make it into the news.

If you have a lot of things on your mind and operating on auto pilot it is not hard to just think that your baby is asleep in the house.

Everyone of us has forgotten something major in our lives. This is the ultimate example of that. It's horrific.

This mother will be tortured by this death for the rest of her life.

I guess I'm an "apologist" now according to posters upthread.

I think "apologist" is simply the intellectually lazy way of saying "someone who disagrees with me-- but I'm not clever enough to respond rationally to the disagreement."

anti-"apologist."

at least the two older kids would have noticed and said something. Maybe they aren't old enough to talk yet? Hell if I know, I didn't have kids.

the older kids are? Even little ones will notice the baby not with them. (not accusing, just wondering) .

We thought the same thing at the same time!

enough... I cannot imagine what she must be going through right now..

ALWAYS LEAVE SOMETHING IN THE BACK SEAT... YOUR PURSE, A SHOE, SOMETHING!

There must be no worse feeling when your child dies and it was due to your own error.

Invented by a kid to save kids. This boy entered a contest and won. The device is easy and cheap:

It's really nothing more than a rubber band across the door, so the driver cannot forget.

If I were a parent, there is no way I would fail to buy this, as I used to forget a lot of things.

My son falls asleep almost 100% of the time while driving in the car. He's so quiet back there that you could "almost" forget he's back there.

I can't imagine having to live the rest of your life knowing that "you" killed your own child. Too tragic for words.

to leave a child under age 8 or so? alone in a car for any reason.

People don't seem to 'forget' the childs seat or seatbelt use as much as they 'forget' a baby.
