HOT CAR WARNING

In 95-degree heat (May 26, 2017), some stupid young mother here in Texas LOCKED her two young children (ages 2 years, and 16 months) in the car “to punish them,” while she smoked and then took a nap!  What the hell was she thinking?  They said it reached 130 degrees inside that car within 45 minutes; those kids were dead long before she even woke up.  Can you imagine what they were thinking??  Those poor children, as they struggled to keep breathing, soaked in sweat, beads rolling down their poor little faces along with the theirs, wondering how their mother could do to them; I can see it in my mind – and I can’t get the image out.  How could any mother do that?  To punish them!?  What could two tiny little children like that possibly have done, that was so bad, they deserved a punishment like that?  She says they were “playing in the car and wouldn’t get out” so she locked them in to teach them a lesson.  I wonder how she feels now about her choice of punishment now.  Even if she didn’t think they would die, could she not have imagined the heat they would be enduring?  Even if she left a window cracked, did she really not know how HOT A CAR CAN GET??  They were in there for two hours… those dear little angels.  God bless them.
*PLEASE EVERYONE… be sure you don’t leave children OR PETS in the car, ever!

*Interesting story interview with a mother who’s son was accidentally left in the car by her husband, a professional …; this interview is from 2013 and Lindsey Rogers-Seitz was lobbying for safety features to be installed in cars to warn if a child is left in the back seat after the doors are closed when the driver leaves the vehicle.   Ashleigh Banfield points out that this all came about because of airbags – because airbags caused injuries to children, it was recommended that children ride in the back seat – 600+ children have died in hot cars since the introduction of airbags.  Unbelievable.  Lindsey discusses “unconscious, habit-based memory,” which is the case for most of these deaths.  Tearful interview, but well worth watching.
