Another Child

Re: I'm sorry everyone...

I feel like I've stirred up a hornet's nest.

My original reason for posting this was because I just couldn't understand how it could happen.

Th death of a child always brings out the judgmental side of people.

Being a grandfather who lives alone I can understand how it happened -- I just don't think I can explain it.

Luckily, both of my grandchildren are old enough to get out of the car by themselves and grew up in the desert so they know the danger of staying in a hot car, so they are in no danger from my occasional memory lapses.

One question that might help you understand: "How often do you look in your backseat?" Especially those of you who live alone.

Life is precious and this is a tragedy. A nightmare for a parent. I am not making excuses. I just don't find pointing fingers to be very constructive.

My heart goes out to the family.

I am a grandparent, my stepgranddaughter is two.
This breaks my heart to think somewhere, right now a little child lies dead.

I see your point, WH. I am a compassionate person.
I try not to judge. Or point the finger.
Sometimes the emotions overwhelm me at the
loss of another little life.

oceanbaby28, you have done nothing wrong.

Just for clarifications sake, he discovered her when he went and ran the errand to make an appointment with his car care place. He didn't run the errand and then go back to work or something sick like that and leave her there.

I am sure those of you ready to hand out a death sentence should take a breather from this matter and wait and see what his psycological history is, and what a doctor has to say after an examination.

Handing out the kind of judgement that some of you are dishing out is very premature. Being angry is one thing, but don't delude yourself in notions of more death and violence upon a persons soul, in spite of your anger. That is just counterproductive right now.

Poor little girl.
