I'm on high alert nowadays whenever I'm parked somewhere. I hope I never have to see any children left in a hot car, but alas as these cases have shown it does happen.
Every year this starts happening around this time. It's so sad. It's only a matter of time before all new cars have some sort of sensor similar to how all new cars have backup cameras now.
Not to mention pets left in hot cars, too. This issue gets lots of publicity every summer. What is wrong with people that they keep doing this?
I just had a conversation with a friend about this. She's going on a road trip and taking her dog, and isn't sure how to handle her bathroom stops--she can't take the dog into the rest stop with her, but she can't not pee, and many newer cars don't allow the doors to lock while the car is running.

Perhaps she could rent a car for the road trip, and make sure it is a car with remote start.
Hypothetically, she could park the car, turn off the engine, exit the car leaving the dog inside, then use the remote start button on the key fob to start the engine. This would also turn on the A/C.
At least on my car, the engine would turn itself off after several minutes of having been "remote started" without someone entering the car and pressing the start button. But this several minutes would be good enough for a quick bio break.
Surely technology could help. Imagine a set of sensors that could determine an adult has left the car, the engine has turned off, and there is an infant crying or waving its arms, or a dog barking or moving around.... and it sets off the car's alarm system.
Stuff like this is why an economy car will eventually cost 40K.

I take my pup in with me when we travel and I am by myself. I won't leave him in a car and it is illegal to leave an unoccupied car running in my state.
How would a 2-year-old be able to get out of a locked car? Even if the keys were in the car, like she said, how would a 2-year-old figure out how that worked? Would a 2-year old even be able to push a car door open?
Its just...so strange that a mother could just go inside and get high then nap for several hours with her kids in the car like that. Even if she thought they could get out when they wanted. When my kids were 1 and 2, biology had taken over my brain and I couldn't have done that even if I tried.
I wonder if she was using the car as a place to keep the babies while she got high...so they didn't bother her.
I don't know why I am trying to make sense of it. I hope she stays in prison until she has gone through menopause so she cant torture her child again.
She's a monster. There is already a thread on this. The article attached showed she changed her story several times. She had no remorse. This was on purpose.
Due a little critical thinking, if you want to get high than lock them in the house in a bedroom. She wanted them gone, she isn't human.
This is another Susan Smith.
Stays in prison till menopause. She needs the death penalty.
