You're out of your fricking mind, people would slap the shite out of this mom's mouth. She deserves it.
Be sympathetic all you want, but that is your child, that you just took the life from. Make excuses, say accidents happen, whatever the frick you guys need to do to justify being a terrible human being. This shite doesn't just happen though.

This poor mother lost her child through a tragic accident and you want to pile on her.
I doubt she really cares right now, though, what some internet wet-behind-the-ears bozos might think of her.

No, mother killed her child. Say accident all you want, her negligence killed that small child though.
Accident Accident Accident kind way of saying murdered

Hardly anybody's going to agree with you.
Drivers who have traffic accidents in which their kids are killed... are those murderers, too?

If that mattered you'd have deleted your account a long arse time ago right?
If there is clear negligence in the accident absolutely. There is so much more control of this event than a traffic accident as well.

I hate to hear stories like these. If you've ever heard one of these stories, there's no excuse for it to happen, other than being a terrible parent. It sounds harsh, but it's the sad truth
I really hate ignorance. You should read up on the history and science of these types of incidents and educate yourself about why they happen before condemning people.

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.

The court heard how Harrison and his wife had been a late-40s childless couple desperately wanting to become parents, and how they’d made three visits to Moscow, setting out each time on a grueling 10-hour railroad trip to the Russian hinterlands to find and adopt their 18-month-old son from an orphanage bed he’d seldom been allowed to leave. Harrison’s next-door neighbor testified how she’d watched the new father giddily frolic on the lawn with his son.

Warschauer is a Fulbright scholar, specializing in the use of laptops to spread literacy to children. In the summer of 2003, he returned to his office from lunch to find a crowd surrounding a car in the parking lot. Police had smashed the window open with a crowbar. Only as he got closer did Warschauer realize it was his car. That was his first clue that he’d forgotten to drop his 10-month-old son, Mikey, at day care that morning. Mikey was dead.

Diamond says that in situations involving familiar, routine motor skills, the human animal presses the basal ganglia into service as a sort of auxiliary autopilot. When our prefrontal cortex and hippocampus are planning our day on the way to work, the ignorant but efficient basal ganglia is operating the car; that’s why you’ll sometimes find yourself having driven from point A to point B without a clear recollection of the route you took, the turns you made or the scenery you saw.
I'll let you read the rest: LINK

Just another example of people putting other priorities before their children... Sorry, that may sound harsh, but that's just how I feel... This would never happen to anyone who has their priorities straight
Sorry, I know you feel bad it happened and I'm not just talking about you specifically, I just mean in general...

Really? A lot of times in a traffic accident the driver makes a deliberate move... stupid, but deliberate.
Anyway, I don't agree that it's murder. Accidents are not murders.

I don't have any little ones yet, but I am absolutely leaving something in the back seat if I ever have some daycare drop off kind of schedule.
You'd like to think this could never happen to you, but it could. What a tragedy.

I bet you're wrong. I'd bet that this year alone she has forgot her phone at least once.
People get a lot on their minds and forget while going through the motions. No telling what was on her mind that morning. Infidelity, a sick family member, bills past due, ect ect.
One complete life was lost and majority parts of other lives were lost when that baby died.
When you lose a parent you lose your past, when you lose your child you lose your future.

Especially w rear facing seats
I thought I would never have anything like this happen, and it never did. But I still turned those seats around as soon as reasonable.
Dumb, yes. But felt like I wanted to keep eyes on em

This needs to be invented: a car seat with a sensor. The car seat senses when a child is in the car seat. There is an accompany sensor on the parent's key chain. When the sensor on the key ring is more than "X" number of feet away from the sensor on the child seat it beeps LOUDLY and vibrates as a reminder that the child is in the car. Seriously, does this not already exist???
That's a good idea. I don't have kids but I read the autopilot story a long time ago and have been paranoid about that happening to me ever since. Everyone around here is talking about this news story, I just can't imagine how this mother feels right now. Had I not stayed on the frontage road today longer than normal, I wouldn't remember anything from my drive to work.
I wish the safety rules would change and that car seats would be proven safer to be forward facing in the backseat. This babies being left asleep and forgotten in the rear facing baby seats is becoming too common.

Yeah. That guys dad was a long time and respected poster on the Scout Bama board. Doc Solomon was his username if I recall. I remember the day after it happened he posted on the board asking for prayers as it was his grandson who died in in the car. He was convinced it was an accident and I am sure never thought his own son was capable of doing that. He had an initial outpouring of condolences until the strange circumstances started to surface. He held on trying to defend his son at first but eventually the reality caught up with him and he quit posting.

The Evenflo Advanced SensorSafe Embrace infant seat uses a wireless receiver that plugs into a car’s on board diagnostic port, and syncs with a chest clip that goes around the baby (other companies’ products rely on Bluetooth or cellular technology, Evenflo points out).
Once the car turns off, if the chest clip is still buckled, a series of tones will ring out and alert the driver.

Not practical or dependable for everyday
Instead, have a routine that you call your SO after drop off everyday. Then, if your SO doesn't get a call by s certain time, they will call you to ask if everything's ok

I put the car seat in the middle of the back seat so it would always be in my rear view. And, thankfully, I had such high anxiety about it that I could never forget.
Poor woman. It's a shame.
