This, my son is 5 months old now, and even when he's not in the car with me I'm constantly checking in the back. It's quickly becoming my number 1 fear. I've even had nightmares over it.
Same here.

People have complicated lives with distractions and stresses. I can't imagine forgetting my child in the car but I won't ever say it couldn't happen to me. It's a terrible thing but terrible things happen.

My favorite part of these threads (and they seem to happen about once a quarter) are the people who say worrying about this or taking precautions to prevent it makes you a lesser parent because you're admitting that it's possible, and dammit it just isn't possible if you love your kid.

I'm not familiar with the BR health scene and I assumed it was something like that, but an ER seems like a staple for a hospital, which was my only point. What good is a hospital that cannot treat emergency patients? If is losing money, shutter the hospital.

I could be wrong, but I don't know anyone nor do I recall anyone in the previous thread about the Mississippi woman who said something like this.
The only similar belief I can imagine is people who genuinely don't think it could happen to them so they don't take extra precaution. As you can tell from this thread, there are many people who think this is impossible if you give a shite about your kid, but I've never seen someone called out for taking extra precaution.

I have an 8 month old son. This is inexcusable. Murder, is what it is. You will never convince me you can just forget your kid was in the car with you.

I couldn't agree more. You don't forget your kid(s), you can't. They depend on you to survive. Anyone justifying forgetting a child ANYWHERE is insane. Worrying about this or that, work shite, blah blah blah...gimme a break.

If you ran a company that had 10 divisions, and 9 were effective and profitable while the 10th was hemorrhaging cash at the tune of $2M per month, would you shut down all 10? Or just the one?

What a terrible situation altogether, but what kind of hospital doesn't have an ER?
Probably one in a state where the previous governor insisted on cutting funding to hospitals and refused the medicare expansion that would have kept the ER open. I'm an ER doc FWIW and have worked at mid city ER (when it was open), the BR general, and OLOL. The fact that mid city ER closed is terrible due to the fact that so many violent crimes occur in that part of the city. Time is blood (and life), so that extra 15 minutes getting to the Lake can make all the difference.

Because of the patient population around the general (ie, poor medicare/medicaid patients or uninsured), it's not surprising that the hospital was losing a lot of money with their ER, since the hospital won't end up seeing a penny for a lot of those patients. Places like OLOL and BR general see more insured patients who pay their bills.

The kind who had to close the doors of their ER because of indigents using the ER as a clinic instead for emergencies. Thus the hospital had to close the ER because of budget.
You asked.

There is no excuse. If my kids are with me that is all I'm thinking about. I'm not thinking of work or morning routines. I will never understand this. It's your frickin kids not your damn cell phone or sunglasses. How do you "forget"

It's not about priorities in accidental cases. This happens because of how our brain processes routines. If you study neuroscience at all you would see that our brain does many things in the background that directly affects our conscience stream of thought.
The post below my OP is a fantastic yet grim article that talks about the research behind why this can happen to anyone.
