arrest the mother for negligence. its the only way to deal with this. the burden should not be on the day care center. once the day care center does this, if this should happen again, the parent will now say "but, the day care center never called me. Its their fault.". its nuts.
Public schools in many areas call if a child has not appeared at school.
Parents must call if their child will be absent, there is no reason why this can't be done in day care as well.
It's not about blame, it's about saving babies.
Would this happen if the kid were dropped off at grandma's? How about if the mom stayed home and watched her own kid?
If you are gonna attach blame (that's a bit if!) then don't blame the daycare.
Well now I know where full-sized cars come from.
NO, it couldn't. Speak the truth, harsh though it may be. This is infanticide disguised as utter, unbelievable stupidity, or it is utter, unbelievable stupidity.
And, if she's that stupid, do you want her driving a two ton hunk of metal down the street toward you? Or maybe when your kids are crossing the street? How about when they're taking your wife to the hospital in an ambulance - you want her in front of you on the road?
I just HEARD the 911 call. Heartbreaking. I also heard something that I hope is true. The reporter said police told the TV station that the baby could have died within minutes, not hours. I hope he didn't suffer too long.
Its time for a tough love law...The law states,you leave a baby in the car and it dies,you go to prison for manslaughter...At least a year..Bet you the baby deaths in the hot cars would slow to a crawl...
My heart goes out to this mother.
She will never recover from this.
I can't blame her: how many of us have never had one of those heart-stopping moments of realization that we'd forgotten to do something important and that it was too late to rememdy it?
I'm far from perfect and am just thankful that none of my "OMG, I forgot...!" moments cost the life of one of my children.
The day care center may be well-meaning, but they are leaving themselves open to a future lawsuit if, for some reason, they don't call and something happens. Or the mother could say falsely, they never called. The call could be traced and verified, of course, but this should not be the responsibility of the daycare center.
Something isn't right here. Pardon me if this sounds crude but this woman actually didn't notice a dead body in the back seat of her car? A dead body that had been there for 9 or so hours in a hot car?
In most cases like this the child fequently vomits before expiring. Surely the mother must have noticed an unsual smell? She never looked in her rear view mirror the whole time she was driving? She never looked in the back seat before getting in the car when she left work? This is very strange.
