I wonder why we seldom hear of parents who forget their children at home in their rush instead of being forgotten in the vehicle?

Is it because they would be charged with child abandonment, without question, if they left them at home? But, they would be exonerated if they were just forgetful and killed their child by leaving him/her in a vehicle?

I wonder how many would die if there was a harsh penalty for leaving a child in a car, even if it was an 'accident.'

I'll tell you one thing we NEVER EVER hear about: a mother who became so engrossed in playing with her children that she forgot to show up for work!
