These stories are always so tragic, but so frequent. This is the 3rd or 4th just in the last week or so.
Surely some creative engineer could devise -- a 2-part device. Part 1 would be placed with the baby, embedded in the carrier or somehow kept with the child; part 2 on the auto keychain. If the two parts are separated by more than X number of feet, the keychain part would sound an alarm.
Surely there is some invention method of curtailing these tragedies. Most are just due to oversight--people get too busy and forget.

I'm sorry, how does one get too busy to forget you have a kid? It's called irresponsiblity.

Prosecute some of these parents to the fullest extent of the law and somehow I think other parents' memories will improve.
