What is it this year with parents locking kids in hot cars?? This sounds like a suicide bringing her kids with her.

“This sounds like a suicide bringing her kids with her.”

It’s hard to think someone would commit suicide in that manner.

It’s not just this year.

This is a growing issue over the past 8-10 years.

They actually have a large sign on the door at our Walmart asking "Did you leave your kids in the car?" and saying something about it being dangerous in hot weather.

I don't imagine the folks who are that stupid can read anyhow.

I can see how this would happen. Bad night with crying child/noisy neighbors/something, leaving the house to go someplace quiet where you can grab a nap, fall asleep, and not notice as the car heats up. It happened to a teenage girl a few years ago—she was perfectly capable of leaving the car but she was asleep, and never woke up as the hours passed and the sun came up.

A few months ago I was trying to sell my house and the real estate agent told me to get myself and my two dogs out of the house every day while buyers looked at it. We had buyers in there from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for several days. Each night I’d go home and try to clean the entire house, plus continuing repairs, cutting the grass, fluffing up the landscaping, correcting anything the visitors had commented on, and generally trying to make the place look like a hotel room. By the fourth day I was completely exhausted. I tried to take a nap in my car, and the same thing could have happened to me as happened to this poor woman. And believe me, I was not drunk, on drugs, or self-destructive, just worn out. But you fall asleep when it’s cool, and then the temperatures start to rise...No, I don’t think this was suicide. Nobody could commit suicide that way.
