I guess it's a difference in upbringing or something. Even as a teenager occasionally called on to babysit, I knew that you don't leave kids or dogs in cars. And a child less than 2 can never be left alone for any reason, for any amount of time. Kids that age are just accidents waiting to happen.

I agree Dar. I don't smother her or limit her freedom, but my two year old is NEVER out of my line of sight, unless she's sleeping (in her crib, where she can't get into anything when she wakes up). I know this woman has suffered the wrath of many, but I say she deserves it. She murdered someone elses child. I can't forgive that and I can't feel sorry for her.

staceyv, while i understand your well written and thoughtful post, i will disagree that the aunt has suffered enough. there is no punishment severe enough for someone who leaves a child baking in a 150 degree car for five hours.

I have to agree with lookout123 - I have nephews and have watched them as babies and toddlers and I think if anything, I remembered them maybe even more than my own - if that's possible! - because I was not used to having that responsibility. I just cannot imagine forgetting my own or anyone else's little one that I had taken responsibility for......

Along this line of thinking - I have a friend whose 8 month old daughter somthered to death on their adult waterbed. It was just a couple of months after the death - back in 1989, when I saw the first TV commercial telling folks to "never put an infant on an adult waterbed". The guilt (and loss) they suffered then, and still now has changed their lives forever. There has been SO much in the news everywhere in the past years about NOT leaving a child in a car that I do not see how anyone could forget!!!
