Am I the only weirdo who talked, sang, told stories to my littles when they were in the car?

I find it unbelievable also, especially leaving the poor baby in the hot car ALL DAY while she was at work teaching other children! Aside from burning to death in a fire, being trapped in a hot car would have to be one of the most unbearable ways to die.I agree. I do find it very odd that a parent can totally forget that their baby is there with them. I was always aware of their presence in the car, ---are they asleep, happy, tired, grumpy, hungry? It is hard to imagine just completely forgetting them as I lock up the car. So tragic.
Since we ALL have heard so much about these tragedies, imo, it is no longer 'acceptable' to make this dreaded mistake. There is no longer an excuse not to do something simple to prevent it. But your purse in the backseat by the baby, or put the baby bag or teddy bear in the front seat, where u will see it when you park. IT IS THAT SIMPLE!!!!!!!!
She is a teacher. Didn"t she have to gather up stuff from her car to take inside? How could she not glance in the back seat?
There are so many parents that actively kill their children and are not prosecuted or get a very lenient punishment, I think we should focus son them if we feel in a vengeful mode.
FWIW, I don't believe this lady intended to forget her child or harm her. However, most drunk drivers don't intend to harm anyone and we put them in jail. A lot of people don't want these parents put in jail because they have already suffered one of the worst punishments on earth. But, where is the justice for the victims? Do they not deserve their day in court just like any other citizen?
IMO, it's not an accident. The person is either: 1. Mood altered. 2. Mentally ill. 3. Wanted to get rid of the child but unwilling to do the beating, etc.
It is a clean way to get rid of what a selfish person would see as the problem, gain sympathy, and maybe get on without delay.
If you are afraid you might have this happen to you one day, go to rehab and get straight, go to the psych doc and get your meds fixed and take 'em, or quit your job. If that is not possible, put the child up for adoption.
I'm not a mother. But some days, especially if I'm on call at work and get a crisis I'm dealing with on the way out the house/car/etc I would lose my head if it wasn't attached. I am VERY forgetful. Like, I would probably accidentally leave my kid at home and not even make it to the car. If it's not written on my hand I forget. That being said I have a mental illness and have trouble focussing but I'm not her and I don't know the whole story. It's such a tragedy. Whether it is due to the demands of a working mother or a killer. But I'm not going to say I could never forget my kid in the car.

Oh no, not again. I can't believe this.
