I just don't see how this is possible

I can't imagine what they would feel like to be the guilty parent.
I have an 8 year old and a 2 year old, but when they were both infants, I developed an OCD habit of checking the carseat in the back seat of my car to make sure I had not left them in there.

Truly horrible. Not sure how you'd live with yourself after that.

Ways to Help Prevent a Tragedy
Several products are available to remind a parent if a child remains in a car seat after the car is turned off. One of the more popular is Cars-N-Kids Car Seat Monitor, which turns on upon sensing a child's weight and sounds a lullaby when the car has stopped; it retails for about $40 and is available online.
KidsAndCars.org, an advocacy group for child vehicle safety, urges some basic measures to prevent the tragedy of children being inadvertently left in vehicles:
Always put something you'll need for work -- cellphone, handbag, employee badge, etc. -- on the floor of the back seat, near the child.
Keep a large teddy bear in the child's car seat when it's not occupied. When the child is placed in the seat, put the teddy bear up front in the passenger seat. It's a visual reminder that anytime the teddy bear is in the passenger seat, the child is in the back.
Make arrangements with your child's day-care provider or babysitter that you will always call them if your child will not be there on a particular day as scheduled. Ask them to always phone you if your child does not show up when expected.

It shouldn't be. Assuming you don't have your head up you arse, there is no possible way any reasonable person can do this. I'm astounded by how many people seem to think this is a potential accident waiting to happen...as if it's the luck of the draw to forget you have your child with you.
It isn't...really.
My biggest fear while being in the car with my kids is having some asshat slam into us while they text or check fricking Facebook. I can prevent leaving my kids in the car by simply remembering...my kids are in the car. I can totally and completely prevent that from happening, so it's just not a worry I have. I leave those for things that are out of my hands.
Honestly...if I was some parent looking to murder my kids, there is no way I'd consider anything OTHER than leaving them in the car. We've now got a sizable portion of the public that, due to their own lack of paying attention, will give you a pass.
Downvoting this reasonable position takes place over there>>>>>>>>>>>

You gotta be one stupid mother fricker to do this.
Animals take better care of their young than some humans do.
Makes me sick.
