Those are very different scenarios from what happened here.
No they’re not... they involve circumstances of carelessness and that’s what happened with this guy. Ever heard of muscle memory. When someone is used to doing something a certain way they can easily end up forgetting they have a child in the back seat. Especially if the kiddo is asleep. It happens a lot. A lot of time they’re absolutely about negligence... a parent intentionally leaving a child to go drinking or something... but there are those cases where it’s far removed from negligence. This appears to be one of those cases.
