Mother leaves child in car, child dies.

It happens every summer where I live. It's become so common that people WILL break your car windows if they see a baby or a dog in a locked vehicle in summer.

We usually lose a couple of kids a year to drowning in backyard pools as well. Not to mention drunk people drowning in Lake Mead.

All very preventable deaths.

Perhaps a chime of some sort if a seatbelt is left buckled while the vehicle is off?

Oh not again... I remember the exact same thing but with a father instead. That's horrible.

Thats a good idea...but like an air horn might be better. Imagine how distracted you would have to be to leave your kid in the car?!

I really hate to read these stories.

Indeed, people spend extra thousands to buy a car with the latest sensors to tell them someone is behind them, to put on the brakes if they aren't paying attention to the vehicle in front of them and easy push buttons to check their email, fecebook and twitnit messages but can't seem to figure out -

how to check on their children left in a car.

It is because the children are accessories, not the most important part of their lives.

Put these people in prison and let them rot there, in a cell where they can think about what they did every miserable day that remains in their life.

The idea that living with the death of their child isn't enough punishment, obviously the life of their child wasn't more important than the latte at the coffee shop, whatever event they needed to attend.

Take it all away, let them sit there with nothing else but to think about their now dead child.

what the hell is wrong with people these days. who leave a child in the car?
are people really this stupid?


What is the BS that a parent forgets a toddler in the backseat. Was the parent that pre occupied, was she texting, and not paying attention.

It was murder, jail.

I hate this crap.

Oh, God, that poor mom will never forgive herself.
