I posted a link to the story on my Facebook page yesterday. It was commented on by a few friends who, like me, agreed that it was horrible, how could someone forget their child, etc. Then there was this one person who says that she wouldn't be surprised if her boyfriend didn't leave her child in the car because her child's car seat is behind the driver's seat. Then she went on to say that a scientific study shows that people go on auto pilot. Auto pilot is for airplanes and is no excuse for killing a child.
Shouldn't some things just be common sense? Everyday I believe more and more that common sense is a rare gift. Animals take better care of their young than some human beings. Animals have that protective instinct. Why don't some humans?
I don't understand why at some point during those eight hours the. Man in Georgia didn't remember there was a child in the car. Maybe it wasn't part of his normal daily routine to drop the child off at daycare but isn't he a father everyday? Daycare and work probably wasn't a commute that was very far so I'm not understanding how he could forget he had put a child in his backseat and forgot the child was back there. Even if the drive was several hours, there's no excuse.
In closing I just want to say that if you wouldn't be surprised if your significant other could do such a thing, maybe it's time to reevaluate your relationship.
