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.

I responded to it.

Sometimes "proper precautions" can't prevent all mistakes.

It was a mistake.

I never accused you or your reading comprehension that you said the dad was a horrible person.

Not something everyone would know, plus that doesn't really tell what side of the argument you would be on.

Agree. It's irrelevant.

That is calling out all those individuals on here who were condemning this man.

The first step in avoiding something like this is to realize that it could happen to anyone and then do your best to pay attention through any methods you deem suitable.

There is no reason to get in a fight over this.

When you get out of the car you see what's there. Granted, he could have parked between two cars so no one would have seen the child, but that still doesn't explain the lack of a phone call from the daycare.

By the way, this happened around the corner from my office.

I don't know how reasonable of a request this is.

My daughter goes to a very large daycare/school. Maybe 200 kids or so. When we've kept her home they have never called. I've never had the expectation for them to call us either.

Children that age usually will not come due to the parents decision.

I could see if it was a home daycare center, then maybe.

It's not a request, just an assumption of concern.

It strikes me as odd that a daycare would not check to make sure things are OK when a child doesn't show up.

Saw that on the news. Looks like they don't think dad's story matches up.

it's different, but i worked at a day camp with like 1000 kids coming in every day and every single parent that didnt inform their specific camp supervisor that their child wouldnt be there beforehand got a phone call if their child was absent.

the phone call always went "oh, sorry! i forgot to call, but yes, johnny went to his grandparents for a long weekend. thank you for calling and checking!"

Seems from the start they thought it was a criminal act. Must have some solid evidence

What the frick is going on here?
