Parents need to understand that Jesus is not going to watch their children, even at church. He gave us that job.

Poor child.

The Sedona is not a van, but a minivan - maybe she tried to escape the vehicle through the rear hatch.

A 3 year old is in the grey zone as far as restraints - I would guess that she was in a booster seat and not a full harness seat.

Parenting fail.

You just can't let a 3-year-old wander about without supervision.

Did they forget her in the van or did she go out and get in it? Three years old, it is doubtful she could get in, but possible.My gut on this is, father took his music, hurried inside, thought sisters would stick together and look out for little one; sisters each wanted to do something, saw friends, etc. and took off without a thought. Maybe the little one was asleep and not noticed. Anyway, horrible tragedy.

Our son-in-law made a rule which I think is a good one. When their children were little, someone was made responsible for each little one, and when they handed off the responsibility, made sure the next one knew he/she was responsible. That way,people didn't just run their own way and assume someone was looking out for the toddler(s).

I hear about these incidents all the time and I don’t understand it. How does one misplace a child?????? Even if you have a gaggle of them, a 3 year old is hard to forget.

I’m thinking Kia better be preparing for some lawsuits.

Time to cash in dontcha know.

That’s tragic. Kids that age can be really hard to keep track of. You turn your back for an instant and ...

Hmmm . . . apparently the police report states that she actually made it into the church before returning to the van herself.

I can see how it would be possible for her to open an unlocked minivan (many models allow you to just tug the handle and it opens the sliding rear door) and then accidentally lock it from the inside without realizing how to open it again.

How horrible for the family. How horrible for the 3 year old.

How much worse it’s going to be when the fascists at the Child Destructive Agency demands criminal charges. Only govt case workers can get away with this.

Don’t leave your car inlocked! This jsut happened last week in Columbus.Two young sisters were palying at their grandparents house when Grandpa noticed they weren’t outside anymore and called the cops.They searched the neighborhood and about an hour later one of the neighbors noticed that her car doot wasn’t latched completely.She found them in the backseat dead when she opened the door.They got in ad must’ve passed out and died from the heat they were something like 4 and 6 yo.
