".... interviews determined the child had a birth defect, causing a limited ability to make noises or cry. The more we looked into the situation, I believe her medical condition was a direct cause of her forgetting the baby.
Personally, I don't agree with it. They are essentially take the responsibility away from the mother by saying the child had a responsibility to cry. IMO this doesn't really pass muster. What if it were a healthy child who was simply asleep?
On the other hand, being a bit forgetful myself, I can easily see how it happened and am sure the mother blames herself and is probably beyond hysterical at this point and likely needs sedation.

Full disclosure: I've never had children. HOWEVER, I truly doubt I'd forget leaving my baby in the car on a hot day for FOUR HOURS.
