Just interesting that you will defend your negligence but are critiquing others. Your story points to exactly the overlapping things that need to occur for it to be fatal. Thankfully, your kid went in a direction that was safe for them.

According to AJC.com because he was charged with murder, Ga law states he cannot be given a bond. So presumably he'll be sitting in jail for what appears to be a horrific accident while his son is buried.

This has probably already been posted but in the study on this, a guy was in his corner office overlooking the parking lot when he saw some people gathered around his car. He realized what he had done and sprinted out to the car, too late

Da frick man, I can't fathom how this is possible, or how people can forget about their little ones back there. I am holding my lil buddies arm for most of the drive as I'm usually sad I have to drop the lil boss off.

This is especially true if you're commuting in Atlanta.
But why didn't the child care center call when the kid didn't show up?
How did no one at his place of employment see a child in the backseat?
Yes, he made a huge mistake, but there were other opportunities to avert this tragedy.

Do you routinely look into other people's backseats at your work parking lot?
Also....if kid is slumped in car seat, you may not see child if just glancing.
This is a tragedy that happens too often now. Parents need to stop thinking they are above this ever happening to them and taking proper precautions to prevent it happening.

That's where I'm at with it. Come up with a system that works for you.

And just how do you propose one does this? What are these proper precautions you speak of?

There are no definitive methods to avoid all accidents. As sad as it is, shite happens. There was an individual in Shreveport that did this last year, if remembered correctly.
The only advice is to do your best to pay attention as well as you can.

I agree.
It's comical to see the opinion of those who are invincible and ignorant.

Well, it is easy to be an armchair quarterback in these situations because no one ever believes that something like this could happen to them. Bet this guy would say that same thing if he was asked prior to this incident.
There was no malicious intent, no violence. He didn't do it on purpose and he is likely going through worse than hell right now, and that will continue into the future.
Personally, can't imagine what this guy is going through.

Read the thread. Many were listed.
Ex:
Place stuffed animal in car seat when empty....on dash when baby in car seat
Put something you need for work (badge, purse, etc) in backseat of car or floor of backseat.

Are you referring to my post?
Cause I wasn't saying this couldn't happen to anyone or how could a parent forget. I was saying it could happen to ANYONE.
Just like your brain goes on autopilot when you drive home from work....that's how you can forget.

I don't think anything is fool proof, but on the first couple of pages are some ideas for reminding you to check your back seat when you get out of your car.
People need to come up with a system that reminds them to do that, whenever they park.
Posted on 6/20/14 at 6:41 am to lsunurse
I read it. Maybe this guy did something like that but his mind was still preoccupied and made a mistake. This was a mistake.
Maybe another kid took the stuffed animal from the car. When throwing a temper tantrum the day before. There could be a million things you try to do to prevent something like this but in the end it was a mistake. Mistakes that we all make everyday. This one happened to be tragic.

Again I'm not saying the dad is this horrible person.
If you actually read my posts you would see I'm trying to say that he did make a horrible mistake.
One that can happen to all of us.
I was basically bashing all the parents that were posting that this would never happen to their child.
Once again, you suck at reading comprehension

I understand what you are saying, and those tips are very valid and great suggestions.
However none of those are 100% fool proof. Any loss of routine or distractions can throw any of those things off.
I do hate that people who are not parents being so arrogant. It literal could happen to anyone. The minute you get the attitude that it can't happen to me, is when you are in the most danger.
I feel for the father in this case. I don't think he should be sitting in jail.

Do y'all not realize that nurse is on y'all side and is just trying to give out helpful tips?
Posted on 6/20/14 at 6:47 am to Scruffy
No they don't.
I mean my profession isn't centered around children and babies or anything you know.

My apologies then. I only saw her post at 6:35 and it looked like she was coming from the other side.
Apologies again. I was quick to post because I'm a little sensitive about this subject.
