Hammond baby dead after being left in vehicle

This is when the OT tells you that this would never happen to them.

This is horrible, I hate hearing stories like this. I can only imagine what it must feel like when they found out what they've done.

With God's grace he's now in a better place and was meant for a greater purpose. Be not sad, OT. This, although on the surface an outrage, is only a blessing.

I just can't even begin to imagine a scenario where I forget that my child is still in the backseat of my car.. Even when my daughter is asleep I feel like I keep peeking back there every 30 seconds for no reason at all

I guess that's just another reason to have a mirror with a rear-facing carseat

it usually occurs when its an event that is out of their ordinary habit, not sure about this instance.

According to the O.T.
It’s part of parenting, we need to accept these events. It can happen to any one of us.

Edit: according to a few

I could see how this could happen under very unusual stressful circumstances but under normal/routine circumstances it's hard to understand how anyone could be so distracted from reality to completely forget that their child is in the back seat of the car.

One thing we stressed to our children as they were growing up is to focus on the present. Concentrate on what you are doing at that moment. One lapse of focus, for instance not looking both ways when crossing the street, can end your life.

The child’s guardian thought she had dropped the child off at daycare on her way to work yesterday morning, however she never did," states a press release from the TPSO. "When the female went to pick up the child yesterday afternoon, the baby was not there. She returned to her vehicle and discovered the infant in the back seat, still in his car seat.

Yeah, unless this woman is the most absent-minded and unobservant person in the history of the planet, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to call bullshite on this.

Every now and then, my wife will forget to sign my kids in at daycare. When I go to sign them out when picking them up and their names aren't there, I have a freak out moment.

I think about this too much for it to happen, but if somehow it did, I'd walk right into oncoming traffic.
