Baby died after mom left in SUV while at work

[Number23]

162. How long ago did this happen?

And I bet you still go into a cold sweat every time you think about it, don't you?

I don't understand the hateful fingerpointing in this thread. I wouldn't be surprised if much of it came from people who either don't have children or, as one poster wisely said up thread, are just simply "clearly the best (parents) in the world." I guess the rest of us should be blessed to be in their presence.

I've had nothing even remotely like this happen to me but the mere thought of it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. I've had near misses with my girls that were no where as harrowing as the one you described and they still make my stomach clench to think about them years after the fact. I know it's probably futile for me to even say this, but please don't beat yourself up about what happened. You were doing the best that you can under what sound like immensely stressful circumstances.
