Wa. Post: "Fatal Distraction": parents whose kids died after being left in car

<p>One holiday season my husband and I took our then (only 2 at that point) children to Toys R Us. I told my husband to watch both kids while I went two aisles away to pick up something special for our daughter. I told him 3 times what I was planning, how long I’d be gone (two minutes) and who he was watching and where. (The kids were trying out the battery operated cars). You got it, husband showed up with son sans daughter. I screamed and ran back to where my husband (yes, we are still married…but at that moment…) left our daughter. She was on a rockinghorse, not moving. (She was about 2). I, who am very circumspect in public, turned as I picked up our daughter and screamed…I think that I gave quite a verbal education to those around us. She was fine, I wasn’t…(Oh, and the store manager heard my first scream and sealed the exits.)</p>
