This is just crazy that it continues to happen, and so often!

We've got to get working on an alarm system that would go off if baby & car seat are left in a car. Several people recently discussed how that could be done.

Re: Another Baby Dies in Hot Car.....

I've been seeing ads on tv to remind people to never ever leave a child in a car. Sad that we need these ads to remind people.

They suggest putting a phone, brief case, purse, etc in the back seat, so that way, you won't forget.

We read about these sad stories every summer. Generally, it's fathers who usually don't transport the children. Their minds are on automatic pilot and they just forget about the babies. It seems like that's what happened in this particular case.

That sums it up quite nicely, imo.

I would also add, this is a FOSTER parent. So much for the system. This is why I am against taking children away from parents like the mother in Phoenix, for instance.

Unless there is a record or signs of ongoing abuse, I'd rather have the kid stay with the parent and give the parent some guidance or support.

So these were foster parents and neither man remembered there was a child unaccounted for until something on TV reminded them.

So sad.
