Tx, a baby or toddler can be completely silent or asleep in the carseat in the back while you are preoccupied and driving up front. At their current ages, i would NEVER forget my kids are in the car with me because they chatter nonstop, but as horrifying as this is, i can see it happening.

I saw a report on the news and they were talking to the mother's neighbors who said, "She loved that baby.. the baby always had a necklace and rings on..she TOOK CARE of that baby..." (wondering what rings and necklaces weigh against what happened to him in the end.).. I'm sorry, but when I heard her neighbor say "..she TOOK CARE of that baby..." I for the first time talked back at my TV and said, "Obviously not." I'm sure she is suffering at the lost of her baby, don't get me wrong, and I don't think she is as bad as the lady who purposely left her baby in the car to get her hair done, but neglect is neglect and, sadly, there are no second chances here. How can you forget your child is in the car? I know, I know the asleep in the backseat thing, but come on now..

While this may be true to a degree, How can you "think you dropped off your child" somewhere and not? Did she kiss him Goodbye? Talk to anyone who was taking care of her child that day? The Answer obviously NO! she didn't. This is inexcusable IMO.

That being said, Why did she not call to check up on her child? Does she not make sure all of her Car doors are locked before leaving it? Making sure the back door was locked she would have seen the "sleeping child" one would think?

Being a Mom of 4 kids, I always know where my Kids are and where I left them and with whom. I do not buy that nonsense she "thought" she brought them somewhere and didn't. She can live with her absent mind, But I also feel Justice for that child that was cooked to death needs to be served as well.!!
