Our Smart Baby

Leaving children alone in cars have resulted in many deaths especially during the summer months. According to kids in cars, there were 126 reported fatalities from children being left alone in cars in 2006.

We hear about these cases of babies dying from being left alone in a car yet mothers and fathers continue to do it. Why? How do you forget about your child in a car? I have to say that I am not perfect in any way but I have never left one of my children in a car whether it be for a quick errand or because I forgot or even to pay for the gas. I just wouldn't do it. It's that simple.

But the reality is that parents will still do it either unknowingly or because they think it's easier to just leave their kid in the car for a a few minutes. What do you think? Do you think it's ok to leave your child in the car while you run a quick 1 or 2 minute errand or to pay for the gas?

I'll leave you with my thoughts. I don't think its acceptable in any case to leave your child unattended in a car. One minute can change your life forever.
