Re: Child dies because Father forgot......
Whilst I agree that this bloke will suffer from what he did for the rest of his life, I just can't understand how he forgot the poor little chap. For five minutes or so, yes, but for most of his working day? No way.

Re: Child dies because Father forgot......
there has been lots of chatter about this on local talk radio , a caller raised an interesting point , prior to the introduction of air-bags this sort of thing was unknown ,the babies car seat was in the front of the vehicle, now the babies are in rear which if the child falls asleep makes forgeting them easier , not an excuse but a small contributing factor .
Its illegal here in California to leave children under the age of 6 in cars alone , even just to pop into the convienience store for one minute or into the gas station to pay at the desk instead of using a credit card on the gas pump
Nationwide, in the U S at least 16 small children have died so far this year after being left in cars, according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Last year, 29 children died, and 42 died in 2005, the study said. There have been 337 deaths in all since 1998.

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot my child had cancer, my mind was on other things, so I didn't give them their drugs.
Rubbish.
You forget to pick up milk, not that a small child's life is dependent on your care.

Re: Child dies because Father forgot......
One death is one to many, for GOD'S sake what world are we living in when somebody[be it father or mother] forgets that their child is in the car with them and should have been dropped off at nursery or childcare before he or she went to work? Forget targets, money problems or anything else we are talking about A BABY'S LIFE HERE not a parcel A HUMAN BEINGING! What is the world coming to when money comes before a child's life? IT IS BEYOND ME and no I am not perfect, ARE YOU ?

That's the point that got me.
If you forget to lock the door, 15 minutes later you are asking yourself and checking.
How you can forget for a full day that you didn't drop your child off is beyond me.

Re: Child dies because Father forgot......
Omg! the poor baby, i agree with some of you, how can u forget that u have a child wih you!, its just impossible, no matter how much pressure you're under u can forget that, that poor baby must off felt so alone on the last hours of his life,he must off suffered so much, it makes me feel sick that they are people out there so stupid to do something like that.

We only have his word that it was a mistake.
If he goes unpunished it could open the flood gates for parents that want to get rid of their children.
I am not saying that this is true in this case but you never know.
He has caused the death of a child, either by accident or by planning, that deserves punishment. The severity should be relative to the courts finding as to the circumstances.
Yes I am sure that most parents would carry the guilt for ever but, some would not.
Its always easy to make assumptions and judgements looking in from the outside after reading what some journalist wants you to read.

You are comparing chalk and cheese. Drink driving and this case are completely different.
In addition, your post is completely senseless.

the end result is the same, also was refering to how some DO NOT carry the burden of guilt for ever,but your to clever to see that.

Re: Child dies because Father forgot......
Maybe the drink driver didn't kill his OWN child....that is the difference.
