  1. seems at that age they could get out of the vehicle

  2. When I became a grandma and had my grandbaby was w me I'd put my rear view mirror on him and say over n over…

    DONTFORGETTHEBABY!
    DONTFORGETTHEBABY!

    Sometimes we are out of practice and it's horrifying to think this can happen😔

  3. These are the irresponsible characters they have in your schools with your children in Danger for 8 hours a day

  4. How does this keep happening in our state
    Do people just not care about these little people at all
    Heart breaking I can’t imagine it
    Prayers for you little baby

  5. Bad parenting… raised my kids (now out of the house) and have dogs now. Ive never forgotten that i had them with me in the car. Never…

  6. Didn't hear why this happened 😔💔😞😢

  7. After that "one" incident in Texas and now this, I will pray for all the children in Texas! Jesus bless them and everyone reading this!

  8. I bet if parents started going to prison when this happens, it would stop or greatly decrease. Right now parents aren’t held accountable, and I don’t understand why.

  9. Sorry to the parents of this child, they must be devastated. ❤

    Imagine an employee of the school has so little resources on their salary, that they couldnt find a better way to have child care.
    Its says a lot about the communities charity for the school employees.

  10. throw that person in jail

  11. How the fk do you forget a 5 year old? I hope that person goes to jail

  12. I wonder if people don't watch the news enough since it keeps happening.

  13. This is why we need to build the wall and start deporting illegals.

  14. who ever left the child in the car will be spending alot of time in prison

  15. Just let another one over the border

  16. The abortionists & depopulators can’t cheer loud enough

  17. Why have kids if you can't commit to them? I am sick of these sorts of people and their selfish negligence. People, this is no accident. A five year old alone in any car let alone in that sort of heat? WTF is wrong with people? This continues to make news and we all continue to hear about these instances. Hang these parents, guardians, relatives, whatever until death. This is no accident. No job, no store, no emergency, no excuse is worth leaving or forgetting a child like that. No drug binge, no drunken stupor, no medication mishap, absolutely nothing. No sympathy whatsoever. That poor child, God love you.

  18. I don't understand why this keeps happening.

  19. There is no reason for a professional teacher to not know about this. They should be fired on the spot. No excuses.

  20. I feel like 5 is old enough to know how to open a car door. Sad situatio

  21. The person was at work all day and didn't think about the kid. What dafuq. That seems on purpose. You don't walk your kid to class. You don't say have a good day. WTH.

  22. Age 5 ? What an obedient child to remain in the vehicle instead of getting out of it. How horrific. Just a tragedy.

  23. Was the child locked in? It was an elementary school. Why wasn’t she inside?

  24. Wouldn't a 5 year old be able to get out of car?

  25. I'll bet they didn't forget their phone

  26. Wow just ridiculous how can anyone forget a child in a hot car it makes no sense the staff new the child was still in the car and didn’t care arrest him or her for murder!! I just don’t think anyone can forget their child in the car is the dumbest excuse ever!!!!!

  28. Responsible pet owners? I need a permit to build a garage but people can have kids with no guidance.
