I thought I had heard this in passing on the radio but thought 'that can't be right, no one is that stupid". Then bored, I googled it this morning and there it was, strategies to use to not leave your kid in the car to be cooked alive.
The #1 strategy, leave your purse or cell phone in the back seat with the child. You might forget the kid but your damn sure not to forget the phone or money.
How fucked up is this? Is this what our materialistic society degraded into? Human life less valuable than a phone? I just don't get it.

It has nothing to do with materialism or valuing one's phone more than one's child. It has to do with the fact that people forget things.
Here is a good article on this subject:

It is a bit long, but if you want to understand this sort of thing, you should read it.
