The fire department responded to a report of a child possibly locked in a car at a gas pump about 4:50 p.m., Kealing said.

I dont know how this keeps happening,how do you forget you have a child in the car.

I do not know. I have never had a child but I just can't wrap around my head why this keeps happening. I have a hard time believing people are that stupid.

I know people get busy in their lives but to completely forgot about your child for hours is beyond reason,I guess its hard to prove whether these cases are accidental or not.

If anything I think it is negligent manslaughter. Some of my jobs stressed me out enough that I would thing about them 24 hours a day but some things I just did not forget. specially if they breathed.

My cousins ex wife and I talked about this when the nurse in roseburg left her baby...
M told me she left her daughter twice.
Once W was to watch the kids, at the time 3 of them, and they got in a fight so she took B to the field to do the photo shoot. She was upset and trying to hurry. Unloaded all the camera gear and headed to the field. A friend knew she had B, and asked about her. It had been 15 minutes but it was 90 out.
The second time was fall and they were at the kids school for something, got in an arguement and thought each other had taken her out. It was night and cool, but it was about 45 minutes before they realized.

I have never deemed her a great parent, so it is what it is.
And my cousin is just an ass.
