Kirstenmumof3 replied: I still can not understand how someone can leave there child in a hot sweltering car! Stories like this just make me so mad!

MommyToAshley replied: How can you forget about your baby???? I just don't understand???!!!??? It's sooo sad!

amynicole21 replied: Even if I'm in a rush, Sophia is the first last and only thing ever on my mind!!! That is just so sad

mckayleesmom replied: Awww..how sad,,I just don't understand what could be so important that you completely blank out and forget about your child....Did the little baby die? You didn't really say...

~CrazieMama~ replied: That is very sad. Brianna is the first on my mind when I get out of the car. Even when she is not with me, which is rarely, I still check. I would NEVER forgive myself if anything happened to her because of me. These people have no business being parents. That baby suffered because the mother was more concerned about something other than her baby. That is just down right wrong!!!!

Kaitlin'smom replied: I used to hate beign late but now, Kaitlin is way more important than beign on time some where. I try and play so i can be on time but sometimes it just does not work out that way.

I also just dont get how you can forget your child....I have even unlocked her door when she is not with me, I felt kinda silly but in the long run I would rather feel silly then forget her.


I feel so bad for the baby, so innocent and helpless

paradisemommy replied: ohh sorry...the mom claims that she forgot the baby..so after over an hour of being in there alone, she went out to the car and the baby was unconscious but still had a pulse. they rushed her to the nearby hospital though where she was pronounced dead...

CantWait replied: how stupid can people be

A&A'smommy replied: That is horrible, how can you just "forget" a baby!?! I dont understand i may not have had mine yet but i just dont see me forgetting something that i love!!!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I never did understand that. From the moment Maddie was born she has been the only thing I think about. Especially when I am driving. Even now that she is 3 and not with me as much in the car b/c of preschool I still forget that she ISN'T with me and go to get her out of the car when I go somewhere...I never forgot about her being there. It seems so odd. Some people should not be parents.

I remember when I first moved to this area this girl left her 6 week old baby in the car b/c she forgot she didn't drop him off at daycare. She worked her shift and came out and her baby was dead. What a horrible mistake. One you can never take back. My friend who had no children at the time said that she could see how it is possible....a single mom who is exhausted and not used to all the demands could forget that she didn't drop her child at the daycare. It's no excuse. That child is dead. I was a mom at that point and I still didn't understand. My friend really argued her point and said "Well, my mom said it could happen" Yes, and it did and it does all the time and the children die. Let's see how your mom would feel if it were her grandchild. Now that my friend has a baby of her own...one that is 6 weeks old I would like to ask her if she would ever leave her child in the car accidently. HOW DO YOU FORGET ABOUT YOUR CHILD????!!!! These people make me so mad.

I just had to share that b/c I am so not understanding when it comes to children being neglected. They cannot take care of themselves...they completely depend on us to do everything for them. Is that so hard for people to understand? Okay, I'm off my soapbox for now.
