That brings the total to 26 for 2016. As a father, I don't understand this at all.

I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
Fucking awful parents.
I'm not the kind to say lynch the parents. I understand how a good parent can be off routine and a sleeping child can be forgotten... that being said how do you forget TWO kids? That takes more effort to get -into- the car.

Chances are, if you're on the phone or otherwise distracted when the kids are put in the car - that can spell disaster. Especially if the kids are old enough to buckle themselves in. Personally, I wouldn't allow my own kids to buckle themselves in, even if they could do it. I needed to check the straps every single time and make sure the buckles actually "clicked" in place.
People need to make it a habit of looking in the back seat of their vehicle, EVERY TIME - whether they have the kids with them or not. It's a good practice to get into. Not to mention cars have always come equipped with a rear view mirror. How do you drive and never look into that? Obviously, if you're looking into it, you can clearly see into the back seat so you'd KNOW the kids are there. Shit... are people just not paying attention anymore to their surroundings? Is hurrying up and getting to one's destination so important that they can't be bothered to look behind them once in a while?

Just my suspicious nature, but I tend to wonder on these if it's a way for one spouse to get back at another, or deflect from another issue or a desire to put things back the way they were before the kid(s) showed up . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Perhaps, perhaps. Or they're just shitty parents. 
This is so tragic it just breaks my heart.
It appears he got drunk and fell asLeeper and forgot his kids in the car. It makes me very upset to really even think about it.

I highly doubt that. Maybe one or two in all of them. Most are literally just accidents and the parents are completely destroyed.

I needed to check the straps every single time and make sure the buckles actually "clicked" in place. I dunno about y'alls vehicles but when I drive my truck and I have my rear view mirror adjusted as it should be so that I can drive I can't see what is sitting on my back seat. In order to see my dog when he is back there I have to move the mirror. I do get the whole distracted while getting them into the seats though. **** I do know that working at a daycare we all had to take the driving class regardless of if we drove or was on the bus at all. We had to have two people check the bus every time it went out due to how many kids had been left on buses in Texas alone. In this class you had to watch videos of parents crying while they told their story of how they forgot their kid in the car. Most were off routine; the kid's daycare/school wasn't being held so when the parent dropped off the other parent they were on auto pilot. A Dad did that and left his kid in the car for two hours before it dawned on him. It was too late by then and I have never seen a man in so much pain when he told that story.
