As insane as it sounds, there have actually been some heartbreaking stories to read about parents seemingly just making a terrible, tragic mistake in regards to forgetting that their babies were with them. I mean, we've all read about instances where obviously terrible and/or stupid people willfully leave their child in the car to run an errand, but reading this story years ago caused me to believe that not every death like that is the result of callousness or stupidity.

I would argue that while this is absolutely true, it doesn't mean that "great parents" can accidentally forget a child in the backseat of a car. It means that "average parents" can accidentally forget a child in the backseat of a car. We need to stop teaching people that they're all "great parents," because the majority aren't.
Having a baby at age 49 :kobeyuck
I really liked how this was reduced down to less evolved parts of the brain bullying the more evolved. Move over cyberbullying. :lol
She could (and I use that word in the most abstract and hypothetical senses) have been one, but instead she chose her pride and ideology. I take a great deal of satisfaction in knowing that she will only "live on" in a professional sense (and then only until her work is obsolesced by the march of progress) after we're both dead and gone because despite her life of dedication, she generally loathes her peers, pupils, et cetera, and these will be the only ones to carry her on her memory in the end.
I only hope that I go first and with many years left in her life so that this can all haunt her through her golden years with no recourse left to her.
Besides, what the hell would I even impart on kids of my own? How best to be a myrmidon?
#checkforbaby would be a lot cooler if it was a prolife program set to discourage abortion by literally giving people checks for having babies.
I like how they somehow blame the sun (which makes all of our biosphere possible, BTW)
Not all of the biosphere. There's some cute critters that use the warmth deep in the earth to sustain themselves. :expert
If we're dealing with someone who needs a bribe to refrain from killing others then the purely utilitarian thing would be to keep them from killing anyone else as cheaply as possible.
There are solutions for this under a dollar.
On the actual topic, being a parent is tiring. Being a working parent is more tiring.dude shoulda used duckduckgo.
I never did this purposefully nor on accident, but I can see how this could happen if you're just not getting enough sleep and the kid's not making any noise so you're just sleepwalking through life and don't notice your error until it's too late. People get into car accidents for similar reasons, they just go on autopilot and all of a sudden they have a rude awakening via airbag to the face.
There is a case in Georgia right now where a man is accused of doing this on purpose and pretending it was an accident. He apparently did quite an extensive Google search on the topic before the "accident."
Why is the baby seat facing the other way?It presumes that the driver may be more likely to rear-end a car in front of them, in which case deceleration will push the infant into the back of its car-seat, instead of being flung forward and relying on straps. Also better for the infant's neck in that scenario.

Or the front seats move back and squish baby.

Huh, that's a legit thing? Thought doing that sort of stuff was illegal.
