Another one. This is getting crazy.

An EMS ambulance was called to Baton Rouge General Mid City where someone brought the child there after finding the child in the vehicle. There is no ER at the Mid City hospital location. The child was not taken to the hospital by an ambulance, sources said, apparently by someone not affiliated with emergency care. Authorities were told the child had been left in the vehicle for two hours.

There's no excuse for this.

Just awful.
Either idiotic parents who don't know the danger, or absent-minded parents who forget a sleeping baby. Either way that's one family ruined forever.

RIP little baby and prayers sent that the POS parents don't try and sue the person trying to help.
(this post is complete speculation)

but parents have so much on their minds

I don't get this shite. I can't imagine how anyone could forget that their child is in the car. Especially with all of the press surrounding these hot car deaths recently.

It happens because these children that die in a hot vehicle are not a priority for their parents. Everything else is, but not them.

I can read about endless negative things in this world and it rarely phases me.
These stories, though, give me a panic attack and I have to step away and breathe. As a new father, I can't even fathom this.

Right. Because when I'm smoking crack with my trap-Queen, I'm thinking about the media coverage.

I can't either. My son is 18 months old and he doesn't even play outside of earshot of his mother or I most of the time, let alone being left in a car.

"Being a parent is so hard"

Here comes all of the judgmental lack of compassion OTers that completely ignore the studies showing how this problem can effect anyone regardless of race, education level, or socioeconomic status*.
*Assuming the parents didn't intentionally leave them in the car in the first place.

This article on the topic explains a lot and won a Pulitzer. This is so tragically common: LINK
Two decades ago, this was relatively rare. But in the early 1990s, car-safety experts declared that passenger-side front airbags could kill children, and they recommended that child seats be moved to the back of the car; then, for even more safety for the very young, that the baby seats be pivoted to face the rear. If few foresaw the tragic consequence of the lessened visibility of the child . . . well, who can blame them? What kind of person forgets a baby?
The wealthy do, it turns out. And the poor, and the middle class. Parents of all ages and ethnicities do it. Mothers are just as likely to do it as fathers. It happens to the chronically absent-minded and to the fanatically organized, to the college-educated and to the marginally literate. In the last 10 years, it has happened to a dentist. A postal clerk. A social worker. A police officer. An accountant. A soldier. A paralegal. An electrician. A Protestant clergyman. A rabbinical student. A nurse. A construction worker. An assistant principal. It happened to a mental health counselor, a college professor and a pizza chef. It happened to a pediatrician. It happened to a rocket scientist.

Thing is a lot of people wouldn't have given a shite if she was killed about 9 months ago by a doctor.

What a terrible situation altogether, but what kind of hospital doesn't have an ER?
If I drove someone to the nearest hospital in an emergency and they didn't have an ER I'd be furious.
