re: There are bad days and terrible days; 2 year old dead after being left in a car

This needs to be invented: a car seat with a sensor. The car seat senses when a child is in the car seat. There is an accompany sensor on the parent's key chain. When the sensor on the key ring is more than "X" number of feet away from the sensor on the child seat it beeps LOUDLY and vibrates as a reminder that the child is in the car. Seriously, does this not already exist???

I was literally within 100 yards of the child in the story all day at my place of business when this happened. Another piece that adds to the "autopilot" scenario was the fact that the day care was right down the street from the mothers work. She drove right passed probably on the phone or with work on her mind and the child asleep.
I wondered what was going on as I drove past all the cars and police cruisers that afternoon. Been sick since I first saw the story.
Total accident.

I don't have any little ones yet, but I am absolutely leaving something in the back seat if I ever have some daycare drop off kind of schedule.
You'd like to think this could never happen to you, but it could. What a tragedy.

I hate hearing these stories. I know we have some heroes in this thread who are our collective Rock, but I feel sorry for the mother as well as for the kid.

I know a family that lost two children to suicide within a year. I don't know how they go one, but they do.

Wasn't there a surgeon in Shreveport that done a similar thing few years back?
Panicked in surgery, ran to parking lot. What a tragedy.

I could not imagine the guilt that this mom is going to carry...
Personally, I don't think I will be able to carry the guilt and still be anywhere near functional... I think suicide is horrible, but this will definitely make me do it...
The mother will be haunted by...
1. This child is not an infant, at 2 years old, she is aware. During those long hours is the car, she was crying, calling, begging for her mom to get her, to rescue her...
2. This child die a slow, agonizing death, the temperature was just in the mid-80's... probably took hours of over-heating for her to eventually past out...
... I can't finish this...
...I will have to kill myself if this happened to my child...

I've raised 4 children and simply can't fathom how shite like this happens. I've been throw out of my routines , leave my cell phone constantly at home and can't remember if I closed the garage door. My children however not once have I ever forgotten one.
One thing that doesn't add up is that the child was 2, anyone with a toddler knows they ain't exactly quiet when awake. How did she not know?? I guess i'll never understand the severe absent mindedness or straight all around shitasticalness of some people in this world..

there really should be parenting requirements

I'm surprised this same old shite is at only 9 pages.
This type of thing can happen easily. It's sad. Not criminal. Just fricking sad.
Routine is very powerful.
