So I just read an article about children who are left in the car in the heat and die. It says that since parents are being advised to keep their children in the back seat to avoid death my air bag, many just leave them on accident there!
Kevin Kelly is a law-abiding citizen who, much distracted, left his beloved 21-month-old daughter in a sweltering van for seven hours. Frances Kelly had probably been dead for more than four hours by the time a neighbor noticed her strapped in her car seat; when rescue personnel removed the girl from the vehicle, her skin was red and blistered, her fine, carrot-colored hair matted with sweat. Two hours later, her body temperature was still nearly 106 degrees.
Ok I know that one can get distracted fairly easily, but FOR SEVEN HOURS! Who in their right mind doesn't notice that their 21-month-old daughter has been missing for seven hours and doesn't think anything of it. Not to mention that a neighbor had to find her, he didn't even wise up. I can see taking the groceries in and whatnot and forgetting in the hustle, but then five minutes later you probably go "OH SHIT" and run back out to the car. I mean, thats insane.

It's quasi-political, pseudo-anti-religious, semi-socially-conscious, and completely random. It's my blog.
