re: What is your opinion on parents who forget their children in the car?

I agree about the 12 year old. I watched as one of them started up the car, rolled down the windows, and started blaring the music. Then bam the car started moving and I think one of them must have hit the gas instead of break.
Momma came running out of the store boobs and arse all jiggling and bouncing hollering my babies.
Then the police showed up and she was really crying.

These are sad situations, really. No further comment.

I think 9 or older is okay to leave in the car as long as your only running right in and out but in this day and age a smash and grabs happen to frequently and I'd rather take them in the risk never seeing them again or worse having to wonder what or if they are alive the rest of my life.

I'm already kinda paranoid when I leave for a work trip and my fiancé is at the house alone. We live in the city. I can't imagine how I'd be with my child.

Sympathy just for losing a child, but completely at fault.
I hope I never do, I do check my backseat everytime I get out of one of our vehicles. The kids rarely ride in my truck but I still turn around and look in the back seat when I get to work.
Cant imagine losing my kids, especially if it was my fault, I would be a wreck regardless.

Take both shoes off put them on the back floor under the child seat you will not walk without getting your shoes

Coworker has two older kids and an infant.
She got out the car to open the house for the older kids to get out, and the two older kids started fighting. After everything said and done, five minutes passed by and she forgot her infant in the car.
Thankfully the car was parked under the carport. Needless to say, she felt like shite.

Have a 2 year old and have never even almost forgot. I could not live with myself if something happened.

I've got a 4 and 2 year old.
I will never leave one in the car and you have to be an absent minded moron to do something like that.
I am not what anyone would consider a paranoid parent or over protective, but i always know where my kids are, regardless of where we are.
It amazes me when i go to birthday parties with my kids and i seem to be one of the only parents that constantly keeps an eye on my kid. I can understand if the kid is 6+ years old, but how you take your eye off of a 3 year old when you aren't in your own home is beyond me. Not asking you to stand next to them the whole party, but the words "where's my kid" should never come out of your mouth.
I definitely see how people may leave a kid in the car, but it's only b/c i see how stupid some people are when it comes to parenting at times.
I've left milk in the car before. I've left chicken. Both were b/c i was on my phone when i got out the car. It just boggles my mind how you can forget your kid is in the car. It's a kid, not milk. How do you allow the presence of your kid escape your mind? The presence of the milk escaped my mind. It's milk. How can someone treat their kid like a gallon of milk?

Dropped my wife and two daughters off at the front of the museum, then I went to park the car..Ten or so minutes and I found a spot...
After walking 1/2-3/4 of the mile from the lot to the entrance, I see my wife with our tickets..Then I see her and my daughters doing some sort of goofy dance and moving towards me..Then I hear them...Where is our son...
He had been asleep when I dropped them off, and I was bitching in my mind about the walk when I got out of the car...
I'm pretty sure I set some kind of record for the time that I made it back to our car...This was late February, so I was lucky that the weather was still cool...
He has no idea it ever happened, and my wife is reluctant now when I drop them off at doors, to let my son stay with me in the car...
I was very lucky that day, and honestly don't know what I would have done had I not been...

Whatever happened to the guy in Atlanta last year who left his kid in the car and was found to be googling how long it takes for an animal to die in a hot car?

That was an amazing piece. All of those stories were heartbreaking.

That guy was a hunk of shite. He was also sending dick pix to 17-year-old girls and googling shite about being single. Way different than the poor people in that Washington Post article who have to spend the rest of their life living with unbelievable guilt.

But couldn't this actually make it more likely for you to leave them in the car? You're in a rush one morning and forget to put your shoes back there, then when you get to work your brain assumes the kid isn't with you because your shoes are on

I read an article a while back that I think was actually posted here that went into the psychology of it. You're going through your day in auto pilot. You do one thing differently. Out of the ordinary you have to take the baby in the morning to drop it off at daycare instead of the SO. And your mind doesn't keep up. You make one horrible life changing frick up. Some of the people who do this seem to be perfectly loving parents. I do feel really bad for them. I'm sure some of them are simply shite bags though.
