Mom Goes to Work, Leaves Baby in Car (Yes, Another One…)
Geez, people, enough of the “I-forgot-it-was-my-day-with-the-baby” deaths because you’re so wrapped up in your latest work project. Talk about a country that has lost touch with its spiritual center. No one will remember that project five years from now; you’ll have to live with a dead child on your conscience for the rest of your life.
Authorities announced Tuesday that a baby girl found dead in a vehicle in Mount Pleasant was left by her mother when she went to work.Mount Pleasant police said Danelle Stainbrook forgot to take her daughter, Peyton Burchett, to her baby sitter before she went to work at 6 a.m. Thursday at the Henry County Health Center’s food service department.
Stainbrook found Peyton dead when she got off work about 2:35 p.m., as she was leaving the parking lot of the health center. Peyton was still in her car seat.
External temperature that day was 90, pushing temperatures inside the car in excess of 120 degrees. I can’t imagine how horrible it must be for a child to die like this. What a crying shame.

I have NEVER understood how a parent can forget their child is in their car. Ever. I don’t get how you can be so wrapped up that you forget your child. I suppose I should muster up some kind of compassion for the parents, but I just can’t.

That’s sick. How can you forget about your kids? I’ve more than once forgotten my kids weren’t with me and paniced, but never forgotten when they were.
