This is not an intelligence issue. This is an issue with putting your (not you) problems/issues before those of the childs. You may remember the mother who was a high placed officer of her company and forgot the baby because she was so wrapped up in her job.

There was also a post earlier today about 3 women who had abortions because they were worried they might lose their EMT jobs. Regardless of what the trainer told them, the fact that they would MURDER A BABY to keep their jobs speaks volumes.

Adults are getting more and more selfish and viewing children as a nusiance or an accesory instead of a blessing to be nurtured.

I could understand that he could forget she was in the car if he only took her to the baby sitter occasionally, but he took her every day. No way I don't buy that. This is inexcusable

What makes you so sure? Just an honest question.

Exactly.....if anything else it would be a habit....drop off wife and daughter, drop off baby, go to work.....this just sickens me.

Ok, so grandpa drops her off at the sitter each morning. Who picks her up each day? Why did grandpa head to the car repair shop, then home?

WHO should have been picking her up? WHEN should she have been picked up?

Something doesn't make sense.

Because it sounds similar to all the other cases of irresponsible child murder that the media loves to cover. You can bet that if they even got a whif of something more scadalous, they would be all over it like white on rice.

I realize that this was probably done without malicous intent...

The first few times, I thought so myself. Now I'm not so sure.

I'm sure it's under development now, though I can't say why I'm sure of that. The safety requirements for such a thing are rigorous, given the liability issues. (We might think it's easy, but once it exists, it had dang well never give a false negative, or the lawsuits would be staggering -"but your honor, the car didn't beep at me when I left baby in there... it's not my fault!! Blame [insert auto manufacturer's name here]!")
