This is a heart-breaking story. The little girl needs our prayers.

[Maceman]

Endlessly stunned by the horror that exists in the world.

He did this every day.....someone please tell me how you FORGET a child in the back seat???

[Tancred]

all without realizing that Sasha was still in the back

How awful! Could this have been prevented by having the kid in the front seat?

[mewzilla]

Not to be graphic, but shouldn't have this guy been able to smell the child when he got back into his car?

[TamiPie]

How the heck can you forget your child/grandchild in a car? I mean, you remember to turn off the ignition, take the keys, close the door (and lock it), YET forget that a baby is in the car?!

[ThinkingMan]

No matter how many times this happens, I just cannot figure out how someone can forget that there is a child in the back of their car.
I realize that this was probably done without malicous intent, but I still believe that neglect charges or possibly involuntary manslaughter charges are necessary.

One has to shake one's head in disbelief.

There is nothing worse than the death of a child. My prayers are with this little one and her family.

I received some bad news early this AM. This has not been my best day in life.

[Lev]

Seems strange nobody has come up with an idea for a simple device that would warn the driver when he/she closes the door while a child is still inside.

[Consort]

Should it be standard procedure for the parent/guardian to call the sitter when the baby will not be taken there; and for the sitter to call when the baby does not arrive and no notification was given?

[Maigrey]

How in the world could this occur?
How could grandpa forget to drop off the little one at the sitters, especially if he does such on a daily basis?

From the article, it seems that the little one was not in a child-restraining seat. So, if Mom didn't take the little one, and grandma didn't, where would she go?

What bothers me even more so is that he was in the car in the afternoon, taking it to get worked on, and didn't see the child in the back seat. How could someone not notice?

I forsee some neglect charges being filed against the grandfather in the near future.

[Salvation]

Prayers for the family of this little girl, including the grand-father.

It was unclear why no one saw the child in the parked car.

Heavily tinted windows?

What a shame for all involved.

Have to wonder if the guy has early stages of Alzheimers.

So Sad...

[Helms]

Every once in a while we are reminded that Responsibility is key, that the world can be a cruel place and that the gene pool is allways rewarding and punishing, sometimes strangely.

Now lets all get back to the newest child abduction case on the cable networks.

Girl, 2, dies after being left in a car for nearly 8 hours

The little girl needs our prayers

?

[MEGoody]

This was an accident? Wow, the guy must be really stupid, deaf and blind to boot. He got into and out of the car twice with her in the backseat, and didn't see her? During the ride to work, the ride to schedule maintenance and the ride home, the little girl never once made a sound? I have a hard time buying that - unless there is something mentally or physically wrong with this gentleman.

[beowolf]

Police said there was no car seat.

This would have placed the kid in view...tragic, but preventable, IMO. They give car-seats to those that can't afford them. You can get them for a couple of bucks at any thrift store.

[mombonn]

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.
