This happens ALL TOO OFTEN. Last summer, here in Boise, a woman forgot to drop her 2 month old infant off at daycare, because she was distracted by a cell phone call. That poor baby was left in the car to die while the woman was at work. :(
We've had another instance of this where the child was noticed before it was too late, thank goodness. And 2 years ago, the security guys where I work spotted a child left in a hot car in our parking lot, and busted them. They got convicted of felony injury to a child.
Also, I hear about this kind of thing happening all over the country, especially in Flori-duh.
As a mother myself...you don't WANT to know MY opinion. That's one part of me that isn't so liberal...
