<p>What a tragedy. I never left any of my children in a car or unattended, but I will raise my hand and say I can understand how it can happen and how under the right circumstances I could have done the same thing. </p>
<p>We were lucky enough to have one of us stay home with our kids til they were almost a year old, then lucky enough to be able to afford a nanny so I never had to drop or pick up kids from day care. But, I know how hectic it can get with both spouses working. My kids are now 9 and 15 and I am always forgetting “stuff” that needs to be done, some important, some not.</p>
