re: ATL - Toddler Left in Car

When people say this scares the shite out of them, it's not necessarily because they think they are especially prone (as in, more than the average parent) to doing it, it's because upon reading about it they placed themselves in the situation where it has happened to them, and if you have a kid, you imagine that you just tortured your child to death. It's called empathy, and if it doesn't freak you out, you either don't have kids or don't have the ability to empathize.
