And the parent/caregiver had just been so busy and so distracted lately................
They have not said this was done by a parent. They are saying the person "was a family member".
Car parked at 7:00AM at a school where the caregiver works as a teacher. Child's body not discovered until the end of the day, around 4:00PM.
Unreal, just unreal that someone had responsibility for this poor little baby and never thought about him even one time all day long.
Is anybody but me getting tired of hearing the old "this could happen to anyone". I do NOT believe that to be true. And I've read all the sad stories of those who did this. And the explanations about "didn't sleep the night before", "change in routine", etc. etc.
How about the theory that in each case it was a person who was so centered on their own life, on THEIR needs, desires, and plans, that they just plumb forgot that they were responsible for the very LIFE of another human being? That's pretty damn self centered.
There are publicized measures to prevent these things from happening. Are any of these caregivers of babies - and especially in Florida and especially in the summertime - giving even a minute of their time to learning about this? To taking any preventative steps, such as: placing a large stuffed animal onto the front seat of the car; putting your purse in the back seat with the baby; taking off a shoe and putting it on the back seat. No? Why not?
I do have sympathy for the family. But these deaths are PREVENTABLE!
