I don't know what time the trips were made, but just picturing a car and my grandchildren, I really, really, really, don't understand how she could not notice the child in that number of trips to the car. One would seem to be enough.

I don't know about you, but don't you even feel someone's presence around you even if you don't see them? Especially in a small environment like a car. Especially your own child. I don't know her motives, heart, or mind, but this just doesn't add up for me.

You are right it doesn’t add up.

I am a very forgetful person. I’m the one who puts the purse on top of the car and then drives off.
Everyday I do at least one major search for my car keys that I VOW I will always put in the same place.

When I had children, my parents were very paranoid I would do something stupid like this.
They would half-joke with me...”don’t put the baby down on the driveweway to open the door and then drive off!”

I know what it is like to smack myself in the head and call myself an idiot.

I do find it very hard to believe a forward facing 2 yr. old can escape notice after 5 return trips to the car.
It is more believable if your mind is busy unloading stuff (like doughnuts).
