That is horrible...so sad.
You don't just forget about an 11-month old. Not possible.

I think people in generally are getting worse, the world is falling to shit.

couple weeks ago, a lady gave birth to her baby in a wal mart bathroom in my city.... and then left it there.

I just think it's sad. Of the Billions of people on this planet there is always a chance something tragic like this will happen.

I guess now wouldnt be the time for dead baby jokes huh...
No on the real, anyone who neglects and forgets a fucking child, a living breathing human being, as if it was his glasses or wallet should be punished hardcore. I hope he does some hard time.

exactly... how the fuck do you forget that your own kid is sitting in the backseat, i mean that's just mindnumbingly retarded... poor kid

Those stories break my heart. They're so preventable and the hot-car-baby syndrome is so unfailingly deadly. I think I was reading in the paper two weeks ago that Texas has the most of those deaths anywhere each year during heat season. There was one here in the DFW area late last week.

I'm not sure parents are getting worse, Slip. I think they're just busier and more distracted, particularly if both are trying to work. Now that I think of that, I think that probably does qualify for "worse," at least where the poor, innocent victims, the babies, are concerned.

I try and keep my sympathies in place for both the babies and parents. When mama or daddy are woefully sleep deprived, distracted and harried, which is how parents tend to be under even the best of circumstances when they have small babies or toddlers, I can see how circumstances could make such an accident possible when all factors collude against the distracted parent and hence the baby. What I cannot see is how any parent ever continues to live on after that accidentally happens.

I would think that if someone is that stupid to leave their own child unattended in a car, they would be too stupid to even figure out how to have sex... guess not.

History is littered with absent minded geniuses.

Yes, that's the troubling part, although you pointed out how factors can add up to where it is possivle, it just seems to be an act of carelessness no matter how I look at it.... I imagine something like this would be very hard to move on from, emotionally scarred from the incident itself, and also how perceptions of people from the area would change and perhaps never let the incident die out... it would be very hard.
