I'm sorry---IMHO, there's no excuse for this. We had 5 kids in 9 years--in Texas in the summer, and somehow, I managed to never forget one in the car.

However, I was never hooked into a career (other than motherhood), and dropping my kids off at day care either, so maybe that's the difference.

Regardless, I do feel sorry for these parents. How on earth do you ever recover from something like this? Prayers for them..........

I can spare some pity for the parents.

Kids die in pools the same way--distraction and inattention. Pool party, one parent thinks the other has the baby...
