I wouldn't call TWO people leaving a child in a car an accident. You're telling me that BOTH parents forgot their kid.... for FOURTEEN hours?!?!?! Nah. That's not an accident. That's pure neglect.
Amen sister! Neglect it is!
Totally !!! You do not forget your kid just like that! ridiculous!!!!
Sounds intentional.
Murder. Not neglect. 14 hours?! They KNEW!!! 🤬
How do you not know your child isn’t with you for 14 hours 😓
You leave your kids in the car while you go eat?! Man that's pretty sick dude.
My thoughts exactly
O, No. The parents who left their children in hot cars are way worse than animals. And some animals even save lives. Why would you compare them to animals. These parents are pure evil.
How can you lose track of your child for 14 hours? This is so tragic.
Right, seems like they would have noticed by feeding time, dinner, breakfast and /or lunch time.
They knew what they were doing
@@leafy803 yeah, I could tell just from looking at that couple. Smh
Umm they’re crackheads.
Its probably something they did regularly. They probably started off leaving the kid in their crib or bedroom for hours on end.
How do you not know where your child is for 14 hours!
I personally know them, they're m3th addicts too... I went to highschool with them, I'm not surprised they ended up this way.
@@nunyadambusiness3530 that is sad. Poor child.
@@nunyadambusiness3530 Okay, say no more. The mom looks like a whack-job and only getting wasted & losing track of time can explain this heartbreaking situation. RIP little one.
Passed out high AF
@@barbkozakand the dad
I can’t believe that this still happens! Nobody should never leave a person or an animal inside a car.
"Nobody should never"??
So you are saying we should?.
It was clearly a typo my dawg, don’t start anything when it was obviously a mistake.
@@magna116 😂
@@rondolavino7778 don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do.
GFY.
Remember this is America they are not that smart
14 HOURS isn't a mistake in judgement. It's abuse & neglect. Ain't no way they didn't notice after that much time. They just didn't care. Should've gave that baby to somebody who was going to love & care for them properly. RIP 🙏🏽
I'm with everyone else. My daughter is 15 and I still catch myself reaching for her hand to cross the street. I stop myself, but I can't understand how you forget your child is with you.
She’s 15. Sounds like you have an attachment problem. Grow up
As a parent and a decent human being, I am just sickened hearing about things like this.
Remember this is America
I’m sorry but how do you even forget a child is in the car?
You don't. You purposely do it and then think that excuse will work.
Face was probably in their phone.
@@sudokode I was just going to say the same thing. You don’t
You don’t. These people that do this don’t want to be parents.
@@shauntadanielle its what happens when you ban abortion. they'll try anything to get rid of the child or anything to not take care of it. why force these parents to raise children they dont want? florida sucks. we're going to see more & more of this & newborns in dumpsters.
I’m a mother, and I don’t like to judge other parents because I know how difficult it is to be a parent, but I’m trying to understand how does this happen. How does a parent forget about their child for that long? I know that as a parent, and working full time I often find myself running around and forgetting things, but luckily I have never forgotten my child in the car. I hope that never happens. What a tragedy!
NO, YOU SHOULD AND EVERY ONE SHOULD JUDGE SOMEONE WHO LEAVES THEIR CHILDREN IN A HOT CAR BECAUSE IS AN ACT OF MURDER.
They forgot their 2 year old for 14 hours. How is that even possible?
I don't understand either. I have twins and a 7 year old. When my kids were born and my daughter was 3 it was hard but I never left them in a car.
I heard on the news before when a dad went to work and forgot to drop the baby off at daycare and left the baby in the car. He gets off work and finds the baby dead 😢
Normally it happens because the person changed their normal daily routine.
@@andresmattos7541EXACTLY
Don’t get me wrong, I tend to forget things in the car like my phone, wallet, etc. But how does one forget a human child? I’ll never understand that part.
People that probably didn't want children?
Then they should'nt have care of them!
I don't understand how a parent can go 14 hours without realizing you haven't seen your kid.
"Forgetting a kid in a car could happen to anyone." What kind of bs is that?
Tired people on autopilot but 14 hours is a stretch. It's usually because the kid was supposed to be dropped off somewhere and something happened to distract the parent.
This didn't happen when the kid was allowed in the front seat.
14 hours!!? Car or not you can’t leave a child alone EVER for that long.
Another set of worthless parents.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢Poor child.💐💐💐
Charge them for manslaughter 👍
Whaddya expect. It's florida. Nothing new.
child support sucks, cant blame the parents, they did nothing wrong
@@NateHiggers146 The parents literally commited murder. It is your choice to have a child. Child support is irrelevant. Time to grow up. Your actions have consequences.
@@ioasisyumich no shyte. Is this fool really blaming something else for extreme parental neglect. Sounds so very... I hope it was intended as sarcasm.
So tired of these parents accidentally on purpose, leaving their babies in hot cars!!! 😡
A 2 year old is a vibrant rambunctious personality, not one easily forgotten. I can't buy the "forgetting " I've been drunk, sick and tired and never did I forget I'm a mother with a child.
No not a Mother I Agree Totally.
I don't get it either. No parental instincts.
maybe the kid was asleep?
Just irresponsible parents what happens when people dont learn or want to take accountability theyre narcissists that think the world revolves around them and they could never do no wrong like leaving a baby in a hot car and expecting them to be alive when they get back a hour later probably even blaming the baby for dying and putting them in jail.
@@aaronlane8276 kids don't vanish from the timeline cause they are asleep.
14 hours???
How???
Substance abuse.
Some people should never have children
As if people are even given a choice nowadays lol.
the same people to ban abortion, are the same ones who don't realize more & more of this will start happening because of it. people will do anything to NOT raise a child... why force them to raise something they don't want? give the child to a family who will.
@@AaaaNinja tf you mean?
@@AaaaNinja say what?
@@rosendo8204 You know, without the ability to have the CHOICE to have an abortion or not, ppl will not be able to choose to not be parents, even if they don't want. Not rocket science, you only need 2 brain cells to understand the implication of that comment.
That baby was left in the car for *14* *hours* !!!! And at no point in those hours did they think about that poor baby's well-being.
14 hours and you as a parent haven't thought about your child? That's criminal.
All my life I've had dogs. If I never forget my dogs in the car then no parents should be "forgetting" their child in the car. Then the cop says it could happen to anybody as if, its normal. I truly wish children were more protected than lousy parents.
There's news reports where you can tell the person is truly heartbroken when they realize the kid is still in the car 2:10
Start throwing these so-called parents in jail for life and I guarantee this will stop happening.
I'm fifty-six year-old man never had children... It baffles me. That anybody could even do that. How. ..I couldn't imagine having a child. and not thinking about them every single second of my life. ??????😢
Will someone please engineer a Baby car seat that prevents children from dying in hot cars? Thermostat would set off auditable alarm/flashing lights and text amber alert with GPS location of car seat and make/model/color/ license plate of car and name of parents. Alarm would activate by weight of child and/or seatbelt buckle. Rechargeable plug-in and disposable batteries and solar panels. Maybe even small air conditioning canister.
Easier to microchip the kid at birth
Some vehicles have alert systems that go to your phone or set the alarm off if it senses weight in a child seat and the car is off.
Amber alerts are run through dps people actually have to do it. It isn't automatic or anything. Also amber alerts are for missing and kidnapped children only
There is simply not a market big enough to demand this…
I bet Amazon sells car seats with built in baby monitors.
They probably found a market for doing that secretly. Auntie Alexa. Guiding AI drones to monitor bad parents.
The car seats will need to be government issued and mandated. They can also monitor other health status too. Regardless of if you own a vehicle the child must sit in the seat for 20 min everyday or CPS come knocking.
People should be charged and arrested for leaving their kids in cars
They are. It's a murder charge. And if the child survives, it's child abuse. And they will lose their child (unless it's the mother, courts love giving women 1,000 chances and they'll be abusing their child again in two months when CPS gives it back.)
They often are if someone turns them in. Maybe not in states like Florida or Texas. Not sure.
@@herculesbrofister265 people should be given a reward for turning them in at the offenders expense
Not really but parents are typically selfish.
When parents leave their child in a hot car while they go out to eat or shopping, they should take those kids away and serve 20 years in prison. I never, ever left my children along in the car while paying for gas inside a convenient store or buying a bag of chips. They were always with us even if it was just for a few seconds.
There is no such thing as forgetting your child in the car. This is pure evil, murder. They have no conscience 😡🤬
It's not rocket science. I'm forgetful, but I never 'forgot' either of my kids in the car, no matter what the season.
People can remember their keys,their wallet,their cellphone but they forget their OWN child in the car? Poor child.
Do they remember those
Probably something to tell the courts
How do you forget your toddler for 14 hrs, they need to be fed or changed will even ask for something to drink. They would just want your attention. It seems to be the new way to get rid of a unwanted child.
I have 10 grown kids and 3 grandchildren...I never once have forgotten my kids..I may forget the leftovers but by God I won't forget my kids...how do you not notice they're missing?? 1 to 3 years old isn't a kid you forget and not notice hey something is wrong
That's because you have a working brain and love your gifts from GOD!!!! My mom bless her soul knew where we were every second of the day, plus us being mischievous bad butts made her more aware. I sincerely miss that😢 bless you and your family ❤😅
It's usually tired parents or a break in the routine. The kid should have been dropped at daycare but there was road construction and the parent is late for work for example. Tired people on autopilot.
@@EChan-eu2co I raised 10 children who are now grown adults. I worked 5 days a week and so did my husband... exhausted daily as my job was a hour away one direction ..I live in Alabama where its hotter then satan's ballsack and just as moist as the humidity is awful...I drove to 2 schools and a daycare before and after work..came home and cooked ...never ...ever one time did I not know where my kids were or would I forget them in a hot vehicle. ......so yes I can appreciate exhausted...but it cant excuse people who for hours on end forget their child's in a hot vehicle...that's just something I will not ever be able to fathom
Wow 10 kids that’s awesome I have 3 now my wife says she doesn’t want any more but I’ll have the last laugh ha ha ha
@@gillcarrion8769 well enjoy paying for them too 🤦♀️
So glad I never had any
Here'a a trick to make sure you never forget a child in the backseat of a car. As soon as you finish putting the baby in the backseat, take off one of your shoes and leave it in the back with the baby. That way as soon as you get out of the car you'll realize you're missing a shoe which will remind you it's in the backseat with the baby.
Even better don't have kids if you're too stupid to keep them alive
As someone who broke both feet in a car accident, wear your shoes. Leave a purse, wallet, phone, belt or something other than your shoes. The soles of your shoes absorb a fair amount of the impact in a crash.
Put your purse or wallet in the back with the child.
Ride up front with the baby to ensure you never forget. Or leave something important with the baby, like a crackpipe or glock.
@@electron6825 Just have the baby drive. We did the hard part of getting the groceries. It can do something for once
Absolutely NO excuse. Major jail time for the responsible person.
I believe parents are doing this purpose now. There are many cases over the past years and really ridiculous
Happens dozens of times every year and they always get away with it .
Heartbreaking! That poor baby! He must have been so miserable. I am just baffled at how this can possibly continue! So sad
How do you forget your child? How do you go about your life without thinking of your child?
Every child deserves a home, but not every home deserves a child!
What about the prom night dumpster babies
Valid point and TRUE.
This sure makes abortion, not sound so bad. Women should have to qualify to have children; there’s already way too many.
Not everyone that can procreate should procreate especially when and if they don’t want to or have any interest of being a parent!
These quotes are so played out. It’s obvious
I can’t believe this is still happening! This is beyond heartbreaking
When I was pregnant, my mother and sister were bickering on Thanksgiving, so I took my nephew with me to get whipped cream and to have lunch. I wasn't used to having a little kid in the back, and I forgot he was there. For less than a minute. I grabbed a cart, realized that someone should be in the cart, and immediately went back and got him. How can someone who actually has their own child "forget" they have a child long enough for them to die? I accidentally took my son to work with me once, but I saw him as soon as I got out of the van.
I'm sorry,but I just don't understand how you can forget your child or even your animal.
Purposely. I don’t care what they say. Its murder.
NO excuse whatsoever forgetting a kid in a car cannot just happen to anyone. It is sorry A parents
How do you go eat and leave a toddler alone in the car?
I don't see how anyone just so happens to accidentally leave a kid in a car. I call bull.
Me and my husband never go anywhere without our 1 year old if we're all going out together
I think it's horrifying that people have to be reminded to check to make sure they didn't leave their children in a car! How do you forget your children are in the car especially in the heat?
How sad that this couple and others like them can have a baby while many others who really want to have a child of their own and be parents can’t. So unfair! And so awful and monstrous of them to just leave their baby all alone in the sweltering hot car to die while they are off having fun.
Yep, because there is no All Loving Wizard Of The Skies protecting the good and the innocent and helping out with justice on Earth 💩.
Did you just fail IVF?
As the father of a 3 yr little girl Im the sole one who puts her in and out of her carseat everytime we leave. I could never
Really 14 hours 😡 that wasn't a accident.
Just heartbreaking.
HOW DO YOU FORGET YOU HAVE A CHILD??? WE ARE ALL DOOMED.
HOW DID BOTH FORGET THAT BABY?Why did it take them so long to remember that they had a baby that was missing?
14 hours go by and neither one of the parents noticed their child was nowhere in sight? Okay.
How irresponsible!!! Poor baby I can't imagine what that baby went through!
I have children, I cannot imagine how you could forget having a child in the car with you.
What is wrong with parents now days. Leave kids in a car while you go have lunch or dinner. That's no incident.or while you go quickly in a store. No excuses. They need to be charged for being so neglctful.
How is it possible that BOTH parents forgot.
Um hello look at them 💉
I don't buy this excuse. Kids make noise. How can you forget and leave them in a car. I think parents like this didn't want the child to begin with.
You don't hear about babies being left in a cold car. Why is it always when it gets hot outside?
These are the same people that tell you “don’t tell me how to raise my child”
How do you honestly forget that you have a child? That right there is an immediate red flag you're unfit as a parent.
Here we go again the start of another summer season leaving babies locked in cars 😢😢😢
Go at a restaurant to eat but leave your kids in the car.....that's basically starvation.
Bet they have NEVER left their cell phones in the car 🤨
My heart breaks for this child.The parents were wrong, and will now have to live with the loss.
As an ex-child abuse investigator I'm still surprised idiots will do this. We used to get calls on this all the time. You'd think with all of the media exposure they'd learn
They were either under the influence of something or did it on purpose. I cannot imagine another explanation
I used to be so scared of this I would get to work, go to my desk and run back down the stairs to double check. Our receptionist ended up just saying - "He's not in there" when she heard me running. She knew it was new mom anxiety, but I just cannot fathom how this happens?! Much less purposely leaving them in there?
Lock them in a hot car because this is not acceptable. I’ve never left my kids in the car for any reason even getting gas
No child is “accidentally” left in a car. It was intentional.
How can you forget that you have a kid in the car?! Smfh!
I don't understand how this happens. My children are the most important things to me.
I'm a mother of two and will never understand how parents, relatives whoever's in charge of any baby or kid will forget about them.
I'm a father of three. I was holding my one year old and talking to my wife, saw the gate to the hallway was open and asked where he is cause I didn't see him running around. My wife said I needed sleep cause I forgot I was holding him.
I will never understand how people forget they have a kid. Even when I go to the store by myself, I check the back seat out of habit. For him to say "It could happen to anyone" is total BS.
@@treytavares1727 You are doing awesome. Now you are making sure none of them are going to be left in the back of your car. Also what about pools? I have seen so many kids drowned already and summer has even started yet.
I have 3 children and lived in FL, I've never "forgot" my kids in the car!
I one time forgot my son in the car, when he was an infant. My neighbors kids had let themselves in ( pretty normal thing ) and I got distracted. It took me about 5 minutes to realize something was wrong because I wasn't getting yelled at. I freaked out and cried when I realized it, he was just sitting in the car like nothing was going on. Luckily it was a cool day and the inside of the car was cool as well. But 14 hours? These parents didn't want or need to be parents, and that child suffered for their poor decisions.
FOR AT LEAST 14 HOURS! SERIOUSLY!
THEY NEED TO SERVE A YEAR FOR EVERY HOUR THAT POOR CHILD WAS IN THAT CAR + 25 MORE ON TOP.
IT'S A GUARANTEE THE BABY WAS DISTRESSED FROM BEING ALONE, NO 1 & THEN THE HEAT EXHAUSTION ONTOP OF THAT WOULD'VE EXACERBATED THE SITUATION VERY QUICKLY.
I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THEY DIDN'T KNOW, NOT FOR A SECOND THAT THEIR CHILD WASN'T IN THE HOUSE, UNLESS THEY WERE INCAPACITATED.
I JUST CAN'T COMPREHEND IT.
Are you freaking kidding me??? I just don't see how this is still happening??? Some people should not have children. Heartbreaking that another child's life is lost because of this.
This is inexcusable !! 😡😡😡 Bet they didn't forget their phone.
How do you leave your vehicle without knowing your kid is in the backseat? Do you not interact with your child the whole trip while driving? I mean y’all left the house together but all of a sudden you’re senile when y’all arrive at your destination? Gtfoh It doesn’t makes sense at all! Whatever these parents are trying to sell what happened, this, that and the other..I ain’t buying it. Lock them up for murder Sheriff!
Floriduh. If you need a reminder that you have a kid, you don’t deserve said kid.
It horrifies me when I think of that 2yr old in that car possibly gasping for air cause its so hot and how thirsty she must of been, as i said, it horrifies me. As a mother myself i always made sure the kids were 1st. 1st to get ready, 1st in the car strapped in and immediately out of the car when we got to our destination, constantly watching them and making sure they didnt get hurt. When it came to water and food they eat 1st then i can sit down and eat after they were taken care of, so this is beyond my understanding as a parent to just leave your child for 14 hrs in a hot car with no regard for her whatsoever.
This poor angel was tortured to death and at a time when we are fighting to continue to keep our abortion rights to save lives these parents are a prime example of failure. If they didnt care for the child why not give her to a family member or put her up for adoption? I just CANT understand how can such cruelty exist, the parents deserve the same, to be put in a hot box for 14hrs so that they can feel what their child felt abandoned in that car.
I’ve never had children of my own and know I’ve missed out . I’ve raised couple step kids that are grown and gone . I have my 3 dogs that are my top priority. They love to ride in the truck with me but I only take them if it’s cool weather . I’ve never in 15 years of raising my dogs forgot about them not for one minute. They are constantly on my mind . There’s something goin on with these people like pills or something. They look like dope heads .
You haven't missed out on anything. It's better when people don't have children. Many parents are selfish and immoral people.
You should not judge the appearance of 2 people who just lost their child. Also it can really happen to anyone there are documentaries on RUclips about this because it's probably the most heartbreaking mistake.
@@blossomx1804 normally I'd agree, as I know most hot car deaths aren't deliberate, but 14 hours? That has to have been intentional.
@@myownpath1046 you sound bitter af. If this man feels he missed out, who are you to invalidate his feelings?
Not everyone wants kids and that's fine, but not everyone gets to have them that wants them. You're rude af.
You put them in the car how do you forget to take them out. Bad parenting in my eyes.
“Forgetting a kid in the car could happen to anyone”? Are you kidding?
I don't mean to flex but, I've been a dad to 3 kids over 20 years and I never 1x left a kid in the car.... 💪
14 hours??? What on earth? Didn’t they miss her/him?
I've raised 4 kids. Literally have no idea how any "parent" could do this.
A parent who actually loves their child could never ever ever make this kind of mistake. These are parents yes but not loving ones and that’s for sure
Have a new RAV4 and whenever I shut off the car, it beeps at me and flashes a warning to check the rear seat (senses weight in booster seat). Sad that car manufacturers need to add these now. Fear that pple will become accustomed to the sound and won't be effective for long. My daughter and I tend to do our own version of car karaoke so I know when she's with me or not.
Not everyone can afford a new Toyota only rich people like you lol
How do u leave your kid in a car for 14 hours ???? Give them the death sentence
How does this happen? Who would leave any living thing in a car in the summer time in any state.
I beg to differ. Leaving a child in a hot car until they die could and would not happen to just anyone.
Parents should get life in prison .
14 hours?? I've read up a lot about hot car deaths for some reason, and I understand that it's usually not intentional (not saying it's excused, btw) because of one believing false memories about dropping off ones kid at daycare, but FOURTEEN HOURS? I can't see how this particular case wasn't intentional.
Seriously this is getting ridiculous. They won’t forget their phones but their child…my god. Idiots.
I can't leave my dogs in a car during hot summer months.. Can't imagine a child
It’s neglect and the parents should be indicted. There is no way a parent can forget their 2 year old child for 14 hours.
I've never heard a single person say, "I fried my phone by forgetting about it in a hot car for 14 hours...". But people forget kids in cars all the time?
I do not believe that it's easy to forget a child in a car. Especially for 14 hours!!
