Who else is hurt and disgusted with people, especially relatives who keep forgetting their babies in hot cars?

Question

Within the last 2 weeks, 3 babies baked and suffocated in 3 separate car death trap incidents, and all our courts do is let these careless, thoughtless, irresponsible characters go without charges.

Answer 1

i am. a parent being careless about their children is a crime.

Answer 2

It is unimaginable as a Mother too forget you left your child in a car, especially a hot car. This is what drugs do to your brain cells, they

burn.

There has been several cases where I live. In one of these stories, two guys had visitation with their child for the weekend, so-they left two small children under the age of 16 months, so they could hunt for mushrooms, while smoking their pot. It got so hot in the car that one child had pull her hair out. How horrible is that! It makes me sick!!!  

Answer 3

It hurts me, but God knows what the poor man or woman will go through knowing what they did. My disgust is reserved for the adults of child pornography "the paedophiles". Now those cruel creatures deserve life sentences in a six by eight room till their natural deaths. How dare they premeditate that kind of abuse on a child.

But the forgetful parents? Darlin they don't plan those deadly mistakes, they just pay for them for the rest of their lives ... remembering.

It hurts to hear of those things, but the parents have my sympathy.

Answer 4

very very sad, its just a mistake, just like if you make a mistake driving down the road, your whole life could be over in an instant just for a simple little mistake, or the lives of people in your car. Its not because they forgot that babies need oxygen and water, its just because they forgot, everyone makes mistakes, sometimes the consequences are so horrible and long lasting you never recover.

Answer 5

These stories just break my heart, under no circumstances do I leave my kid in a car, not even in the winter time.

What can be so important that you would risk the chance of something happening ?

I know these people are probably remorseful of their mistakes, but it still cost the lives of innocent children who were depending on the responsibility of the parents to protect them in the first place.

These stories should serve as a point for us to reflect at ourselves, are we all so self centered and self absorbed that we forget about others needs around us ?  

Answer 6

It is horribly tragic when this happens and I cannot imagine how a parent could possibly forget their child in the car.  That said, however, it does happen to good parents.  There was a case in my town where a father, who was a policeman, wasn't used to taking his child to the daycare, but for some reason, he was taking the child that very hot summer day.  He strapped the baby in the carseat in the back of the car, then proceeded to drive while talking on his cell phone, in a hurry, apparently late for a meeting.  He arrived at his office and then took the police cruiser to another location....all while his child was still in the backseat of his car, forgotten.  Several hours later, the man remembered that he didn't take the child to the daycare after all and immediately summoned 911 to go back to his car where he also sped back to it, only to tragically find the baby dead from the heat.  

The father was devastated and it was just a horrible situation.  Although an investigation was carried out, no charges were filed.  He resigned from the police force and is reportedly living in seclusion.

Answer 7

Sometimes adults forget how fragile little babies are, and in the American modern c**p that it is barely making 6.00 an hour for minimium wage just to pay for 2 gallons of gasoline to get to and fro work each day makes the standard of living here in USA (while supporting a idiotic war) very down.

Parents should go through classes, as the pregnant female should learn that babies (animals also) should be hydrated with water and have plenty of monitoring and oxygen.

But stupid people will practically always exist...hopefully not though.

Answer 8

yeah, I cant stand them either.

Answer 9

I think it's because now parents have to put their children in the back seat......and new parents aren't used to having a baby so they forget.

There should be something you can buy to remind the parents that they child is in the back so they could check before they get out.

I don't think any parent does this deliberately.

Answer 10

I agree with you.. i dont see how anyone can forget a child.. unless you are so high on drugs or drunk out of your mind.. but still you know about your child.. the courts need to prosecute the ones who do it.. and quit listen to them when they say..'oh i thought he/she is with someone else"...

to : Daljack.... come on get real.. there is no EXCUSE for leaving a baby in a car.. if u carry a baby 9 months or know your wife is having a baby..how the h($*  can you forget it..
