I do not understand how somebody can forget a child in a car for 2 hours
all of these people are just bad parents, careless parents.. never in my daughter 9 yrs on this earth have i forgotten about where she is… or left her in the car without knowing… shake on them
Seriously Interrogate the mother. What a nice setup for a perfect crime! Strange car with strange car seat, a party to distract the sister, hot day and no one else around. WOW!! Don't let her get what she has set out to get! R.I.P. to her young victim. May she suffer a thousand deaths with each one more horrible than the last!!!
So she just forgot she had another child??
U don’t hear about children being left in cars during the winter months 😱
Stop blaming the kid not knowing how to unbuckle himself because it's a rental. A Porsche SUV! WTF! It's the parent's responsibility to take care of their child!
She should be charged.
Horrible news about another death of a child. Why can’t we come together to protect children, and every living thing?? What must happen next ? More guns? More human error? Not enough safety options?
Why are we blaming cars for this? This is just negligence; how do you not notice your own child is missing for hours? at home? in your own house?
If you need to be reminded not to leave your child in a car then you simply should have any in the first place
wtf is wrong with Texas.
I bet she was on the phone while parking.
What is wrong with people. Do they not care about their children anymore?
No excuse. Beyond stupid
This tragedy could have prevented, really I feel like the mother should volunteer to be in prison for a atleast 25 years if not more punishment should be considered.
What is that a Porsche ? What a brutal death , terrible , after having 3 kids I’m not sure how this happens if he was still in car from a trip out, ,,,
So sorry for your loss but I can't even imagine the pain he went through before he died on what was to be a happy day to remember. RIP 😢
Poor child! Suffered a horrible death.
2 to 3 hours , did'nt notice, gotta be f@#%^& kiddin me, definetly criminally neglegent
Your child always comes first more though in this brutal heat I want even let my grandchildren go outside to play this heat is killer heat come on how do you not miss your child for hours a don’t let mind for a minute must less a hour ? One minute they can disappear from you it’s crazy constantly on my mind !!!
May you Rest In Peace little one ! Please everyone this heat is DANGEROUS DANGEROUS not only for our children, but ourselves also and too your pets, animals and livestock!!! Please be safe we’re you may be ! Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers this brutal heat and we have a long few months before we see it end …
Texas
1000 since 1990…if trying to show importance maybe leave that part out…so basically almost no one dies this way. Maybe because its pretty common sense not to leave a kid in a hot car for several hours…
This is just sick! We need to ban cars ! Way too many children die this way. Even worse than “guns”. This is disgusting. I’m calling my senators and proposing a BAN! You don’t NEED a car that kills children! 👍🏼
I just can't imagine NOT knowing where your 5 year old child is. Not a baby not a sleeping toddler but a 5 year old child what the heck?! Nobody knew he was missing for 2 to 3 hours come on! Something is fishy here bless that little soul but the Mother should face charges
Wow Lost for words rip baby🥺
What a great mom…sounds like negligent homicide to me…
105°😔
Shouldn't a five-year-old be able to unbuckle and get out of a vehicle on their own?
How you can forget your son for 3 hours ????? Something is not right with the mother .
The mother needs to be stoned and anyone who says this was an accident…
No way you forget a 5yr old
Not sure how you forget an entire child for hours, honestly hope she gets what’s coming to her, rest in piece to the kid🙏🏼
These people need to stop sugar coating everything. Its common freaking sense. I always make sure all my children go in with me. Its so sad that poor kid, makes me so angry…. The Ignorance of this. They are literally having to tell people to always double check, do a roll call…… yeah becuase its not common freaking sense you dumb bitc………
Guess they're having baked toddler for the birthday dinner.
why must assault cars be a continuous problem in america? lets end this violence now! ban cars!
I bet she made sure that phone was on her….money and privilege will get you off everytime. No negligence charge nothing. Smh.
um, look at the neighborhood, the vehicles…. well off people forgetting they have children. NO EXCUSE.
Describing this as a accident is a insult to the dead child……i am a parent,and it is negligent and criminal…..anyone with a five year old knows that silence for to long is dangerous!!!!!……this woman is not new to negligence of her children…..if she can go 3 to 5 hours without knowing where her 5 year old is………
Hear me out the cars should have a sensor that senses a body in the car and with certain temperatures the cars should turn on and call ur phone ….
Any parent who thinks this couldn't happen to them is either naive or lying to themselves.
3 words: Lock Her Up!
no more excuses‼‼‼‼‼
get off your phone lady, take care of your children!
A car that needs to remind you you're a parent? That's not gonna help.
