how sad..
A tragedy laid at the feet of the altar of the myth of the 2 income “need.”
Every year we have to read about these needless deaths.What is wrong with these idiot parents?
How can you forget your own child?
left overnight? How did this happen? God Bless her. Prayers.
Mom and dad need to be looking at a murder rap.
We have a seven month old granddaughter living with us and we can’t imagine ever forgetting her in the car.
dear lord, both parents were oblivious to that poor little girl.well prayers are being said for the grandparents and other relatives that are dealing with this.
RIP.
I’ve read so many of these stories, and they often involve mixed signals between the two parents, either because one assumed the other had the child, or because a change in one parent’s schedule caused the other parent to be responsible for the child out of their routine.
It seems sadly ironic that more “shared parenting” has lead to many of these tragedies...seems to me that if one parent (traditionally the mom) is the primary caretaker, she damn well knows where that child is. Always.
This story ran last year in the Washington Post...compelling and sad reading. They say if you can forget your cell phone, you can forget your child...

Poor baby... this makes me so sad. But I have to look very hard at the parents. I have small children myself, and I cannot IMAGINE not checking on them for that long! I would have to be drugged or something not to check on them for so long.
