how on earth can people be so fucking stupid as to leave a child in a car and forget they're there?

@TSchulte I've never understood how people could do such things either. It just boggles my mind.

@matt While I appreciate this, I still don't understand. It's not about empathy, it's about being a responsible parent/care giver and I'm not talking about people who leave their kids in the car by accident, I'm talking about people who leave their kids to go to the casino or to the bar, the ones who know their kids are in there but just locks the car and walks away. This is not about empathy!

@TSchulte Ah, OK, I thought you meant by accident.

@matt no I have more empathy for those people because it can be done by accident and I couldn't imagine the crushing guilt I'd feel if I accidentally left my kid in the car and something horrible happened. I'm talking about people who leave their kid to gamble for 9 hours and then lie to the cops about where they were.

@TSchulte No argument there.
