1. I would be real interested to know what she REALLY did on the way to work.
2. If I were her employer, I'd fire her arse for being a complete frick-up!

They repeat the guardian thing several times... makes it sound like it wasn't the kids mother that did this.

100 percent agree. How the frick do you not one time look back on your way to work and then when you leave and head to daycare? Not to mention, would there not be some smell in the car at the end of the day. The baby likely has a diaper that would have stunk the car up in heat...but even before all that...no way you just think you dropped the child off in the first place...everyone that has ever done that is a lying tpos that should die a very painful death. Even if you honestly forgot to drop them off....tough shite, ignorance,neglect, whatever, is not an option. Sorry, you're a parent and you don't get the right to frick up something like that in my opinion...and that should be the law as well.

I’d be willing to bet that ‘guardian’ didn’t forget to post on Facebook 10 times throughout the day though
People need to get their priorities straight

The guy in GA who did this was sentenced to life without parole.
That was a crazy case. Ross Harris was serially cheating on his wife and sexting women while his kid was in the car dying. He also made statements like, "I wish I didn't have my kid, so I could have the freedom to do what I want" or something close to that in the messages to the randoms. I think he actually did forget his kid in the car, but he got convicted because the reason he forgot was because he was a huge POS.

They'll implement some type of alarm for baby seats because of idiots like this.

it’s not as difficult as it is typically perceived to be. It usually involves an unusual trip or out of ordinary routine.
Young children are often still sleeping when put in their car seat, or fall asleep. So the idea of “the baby would be crying” is not always true.
Have you ever caught yourself taking your normal exit to your house when you’re supposed to be going to your friends house for dinner? Or working at a different job site and find yourself at your typical office location?
I can’t tell you how many times I took the exit and went south toward my old house instead of North to the new one, even weeks after moving in. Depending on the length of your drive, or the state of mind, it’s easy to become “mindless” while driving. You’re still conscious and paying attention, but it’s like just motions. You get to your destination, but can’t recall any particular detail of the drive.
It’s an unacceptable state when you’re caring for children. You must stay alert, and not become complacent/mindless when caring for them. Focus is absolutely critical when they are in your care. However, I can’t say “I can’t believe this” or “there’s no way it could ever happen”. It’s incredibly tragic and unimaginable grief on the parents, particularly the conflicting feelings of the other parent.

Infants face the rear. That's part of the problem. Also some infants fall asleep during car rides.
Otherwise carry on berating this family that is grieving beyond imagination.

Sure. None of which involved a helpless human life in my hands.

I don't care if the child is asleep and silent... or maybe I'm just a way better person than some of you fricks, but I have never in my life for even one second forgot my child was in the vehicle with me...it just doesn't happen, not possible. So either these people are really effing stupid or it was intentional. And I've seen some really not so bright people that are damn good parents that have also never forgotten their child. And again I don't care, if you make that mistake like this case, frick you and die, carelessness is not an excuse for you to allow the death of a child.

The point is, it is not a difficult “leap” to understand. In no way is it acceptable.

When school started this year, I got half way to my office before I or either of my 2 children realized I was not going towards their school. They are 10.
It happens. People get in a rut, minds wander on the way to work, getting mentally ready to face the day.
It sucks.

Man, that’s all fine and dandy, but there is absolutely ZERO excuse for this. NONE
As a parent or ‘guardian’ it is your job and your responsibility to take care of your children. Everything you typed out is plausible and not anything that I have trouble believing, but there is absolutely zero excuse for this to happen..
Basically, people are justifying leaving children in cars because they did something different or their routine changed.. what fricking planet am I on??

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. Subsequently, the child was pounced dead at the scene."
This is awful. I don't have children, so this is an honest question: How the hell does this happen? She actually "thought" she dropped him off at daycare? Either you do or do not remember stopping and dropping off a human being somewhere.

The guardian grabbed multicolor socks instead of the usual white ones and apparently it messed up her whole morning routine
