A simple walkthrough.

Following standard procedures and completing one final walkthrough is all it would have taken to prevent this.

If employees won't keep up with headcounts and attendance, a walkthrough will still save lives.

We know this stuff. Have for decades.

24 minutes between the time the EMT's/police arrived and mom exited the store to see what was going on near her car.
24 minutes.......

24 minutes.......

And I think this mom was a nurse, correct? she said she saw this on the news alot but never thought it could happen to her. I wondered if she thought it would just be a few minutes and she intentionally left the kid in the car?????

[Country Kids]

Yes, she is an emergency room nurse.

He was ok thankfully!!!

[Meeko]

All so tragic.

What really gets me worked up is comments like:

"They should put something important like their phone or purse in the back seat, so that way they can't forget..."

You DO have something important in the back seat! YOUR CHILD!!!!!!

It's absolutely puzzling that society even accepts that statement.....

Like we all understand how important our purses or cell phones are but not a child. :confused: :confused:

Aaron Turner is the father of the infant, Aiden Miller, and says his son was with his mother and his sister. Aiden was supposed to go to day care, but he never made it.

Aiden's mother was supposed to drop their two children off at different daycares, according to Turner. After one was dropped off, Aiden was left in the car in the parking lot of his mother's work.

Cannot begin to imagine. I just can't.

[Country Kids]

The oldest child on this list was FIVE YEARS OLD!!!! Does anyone know the story behind that story? A five year old should be able to open the door, yell, scream, get out somehow.

Why does no one hearing these babies and children crying and screaming in these cars?????

Now that's crazy remembering one but forgetting another.

You would think a 5 yo would get people's attention somehow. I wonder if people just didn't want to get involved. It's possible the car was somewhere where nobody sees it.

Now that's crazy remembering one but forgetting another.

If she was lucky enough to have had a maternity leave, she would have only been transporting the three month old for six weeks. Maybe even less if she had FMLA, too or Dad did some drops. Two different daycares and a new baby would be a big change in routine and a greater risk, IMHO.

If Dad would have taken one child, if child care provider would have called, if she had been pulled over for speeding, if she had taken youngest first, if baby had cried, if, if, if.

So many of these have the same predictable pattern. It is so frustrating watching it play out year after year.
