"The child had probably passed away a while before she got to the day care," Kreun said.
Kreun, who has been in the child care business for years, said near-tragedies happen all too often.
"I know people who have gotten to work and realized they forgot to drop off their kids and had to go back."
Kreun said it would have been impossible for passersby to see the baby in the van, which had tinted windows.
"I walked around that van about 14 times after they left, and you would not have been able to see in there," he said.
It's pretty obvious that her mind was on her job and not her child. Pretty dismal priorities.
Husband's fault. Or some other man. Certainly not hers. Actually, anything with testicles; a cat, cow, bird, anything. Any male mammal will do. Rest assured.......it's not the woman's fault.
Sad all around.
I understand people forgetting and having to go back...WHY???Because when they got out of the car,the parent saw the KID IN THE BACK SEAT!!!!!!How can you not see into the back seat unless you are 2 feet tall and can't see over the drivers seat?????
By law, your child has to be in the back seat, with a baby seat facing backward. Can't see the kid in the rear-view. Unintended consequences?
If the parents responsible were prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, I'll bet memories would improve nationwide...

"Tragic Accident" Victim Identified
(AP) _ Police have identified a five-month-old girl who died in Grand Forks after she was left in a minivan all day.
Police say 34-year-old Andrea Boe thought she had dropped off her daughter -- Kate -- at the Wonder Years 2 day care center before going to work yesterday morning.
Police Sergeant Jeff Burgess says the mother drove to the day care about 5:30 in the afternoon after leaving work -- and was told she had not dropped the baby off as she had thought.
The owner of the day care center, Curt Kreun, says staff members at the center called for help and tried unsuccessfully to revive the baby.
The high temperature in Grand Forks yesterday was 78 degrees. The National Highway Traffic Safety Commission says temperatures easily can climb to more than 100 degrees within minutes in an enclosed car.
The Grand Forks Police Department crime bureau is investigating -- and an autopsy is being done today. But Kreun says police told him charges are not expected and that it was a ``tragic accident.''

Boy, it's really annoying that they don't have a search feature there.
These cases should be treated as murder - at the very least: manslaughter. I don't care how stressed or forgetful a parent is. They should not be given a pass to kill their own children, from negligence or whatever.
Some feminazi will come to her defense claiming that the pressures of motherhood and work are just too much.
Funny how you have to pass a test to drive a car, yet any imbecile can pop out a kid.
