you're rushing to work...half asleep...u place your baby in the car seat in the back...you're still half asleep, and the child is asleep...you're in a rush, someone calls your cell, blah blah blah...u forget to go to the day care...baby is still asleep in the back...you're still asleep but in a rush...you get to work, get preoccupied, the day goes by...you think you dropped your child off at day care that morning (because that's routine)...but you didnt...realize it when you get to the daycare, and then find your child dead in the back of the car...stupid, stupid, tradgedy...but not implausible...
I agree, this is really not all that implausible.
... This number has skyrocketed since the early 1990s due to the prevalence of airbags. For safety reasons, child seats are increasingly placed in the back seat of the car, making it easier for the parents to forget their child....
I'm not a mother, but when my children were young not an hour would go by without me thinking of them no matter how busy I was.
I can't understand this heartless neglect.
Which is why mothers should probably make a decision: bringing up my baby, becoming symbiotic with him, OR focusing on my career.
A stay-at-home mom also gets tired and forgetful. But she is so in tune with her baby that she would, could, never forget him in the car. The opposite tends to happen. I find myself in the carpool lane and remember that for once my baby is NOT with me, get a red face, and hop out of that lane.
You're kidding. Good thing these people remember to turn off their toaster ovens, or else their houses would burn down!
These people certainly have time to answer their damned cell phones; but to ensure they take care of their own infant children?
No way, too busy busy busy.....
You are right...it is not implausible. In our society today, particularly in urban areas, people are stressed right to the breaking point trying to keep up with the pace of life. There are a lot of people out there practically sleep-walking (or sleep-driving) through life. The work day, and all the little time left around those stretched-out hours, have become barely controlled chaos for a huge part of our population. Our society definitely stresses the limits of human capability.
Perhaps not, but that is one stupid, brain dead retard. How can somebody with insufficient amount of neurons to hold a thought even have a job to go to, or hold a phone conversation while driving?, or hold a conversation at all?
It would make more sense if this was in fact a post partum abortion. Not saying it was, only that "it's not implausible."
