I don't do this full body twist as much since I got a car with a back-up camera, but I do still instinctively turn around to look back, even with the camera. I suppose if someone had a back-up camera and was young enough that they never had to drive without one, you might be able to go from...

I couldn't agree more. This couldn't "happen to anyone." It happens to people who aren't very bonded with the child, be it their own or someone else's. Call me crazy but I have never gone an hour without thinking about my kids no matter where I was or what kind of stress I was under. They...

From the Daily Mail article: Maybe I'm the weirdo for not posting every little thing that happens to me on social media, but does it seem odd to anyone else that the mom is so distraught she can't speak to police for days (weeks?) but dad is tweeting about it the same day? And the tone of the...

Totally agree.

I hope mom can put her daughter first rather than blaming her for ending what had to be a pretty short and dysfunctional relationship in the first place. :(

I thought the same thing when I saw all the brave souls risking their lives to mourn Officer Goforth last night. Thank goodness nothing happened. Maybe BLM didn't have time to mobilize a contingent to Texas when they already had a planned event at the MN State Fair. Whatever you decide...

It's ridiculous. Why would dad need mom to put the baby in the car seat for him? is he disabled? Let's not forget, this is not a tiny infant but a toddler who was likely wide awake and talking a mile a minute when mommy lovingly strapped him in an empty car and left him all alone in complete...

Fwiw, commenters under some articles have demanded compassion because the judge was distraught and distracted by the recent death of his father, but according to this obit his dad passed away more than a month before the incident...

Thanks -- I was beginning to feel like maybe I was paranoid to think this behavior could repeat itself. I actually find myself on the other side of my argument now, wondering how on earth this woman could allow herself to do this twice!!!

I understand the whole auto-pilot phenomenon. But I do think it only happens to a certain "type" of person, and I don't know how to articulate or categorize that type, but I know that it's very different from me. I am a space cadet and go on auto-pilot all the time, but I guess the difference...

They came completely out of nowhere, lol. Sorry if I implied that it had happened before! :blushing: It was my concern, totally unfounded and based on no factual information whatsoever. I just feel like it's such a big mistake that even the rare chance of it reoccurring should be considered...

I can see it happening to a certain type of person. I'm not saying I am a better type of person, just that if I were under that type of stress, I would say "screw it, I can't take care of my family properly under these conditions" and either start letting my job slide until I got fired, or quit...

Nope, not that I know of. It's a pretty rare occurrence in the first place, thank goodness! Sorry if I offended you with my opinion. I just feel like it takes a special kind of forgetfulness or idiocy to leave a totally vulnerable infant in a car. But maybe I'm just an unfair, unforgiving...

If they are going to exonerate these parents, they should at least do it with the stipulation that they can no longer transport a child in their vehicle. If they can forget a child once, they can do it again. But I guess that would be terribly inconvenient. :(

I do think the doctors probably did what was considered best practice at the time. Occasionally the AMA issues "best practice" statements for different conditions, but I wouldn't know how to look one up for a specific condition at a specific time in the past. Times and opinions certainly do...

If I forgot my child in a hot car and he died, I'm just not sure I could trust myself to remember anything at all, ever again. I certainly would never trust myself to transport a child again. If I could be that forgetful when it came to something that precious, I just wouldn't think it would...

Yup. I read in one article that the ambulance responded to the intersection of James St. and Fairoaks Place, so I searched it on Google maps. It is a fairly typical subdivision with houses pretty close together. I tried to take a screen shot but my iPad crashed from the effort and won't...

Exactly. Its not like he was at work. He was in the place where he interacts with his child on a daily basis! At that age, they have toys, child-proofing devices, etc. in every room of the house. How could he possibly forget? I can't understand why anyone would buy any excuse he has to...

Ikr??? Doesn't this woman know there are cameras everywhere??? How did she think she would get away with a claim that the security guard actually snatched the baby off of her breast? She would have been safer to just say he made a rude comment or told her to get out. It's really pretty...

Interesting question....maybe he and the wife met at home for a nooner and then fell asleep??? But that would mean BOTH parents forgot about the most sacred gift of their celebrated marriage, which seems unlikely. And if it were just his wife at home, he wouldn't have had to drive blocks away...
