Forgotten Child?
How does this happen? I could never, ever forget!!!!!!!!!!! How? I just can't understand it!
WASHINGTON - Commuters racing to catch the train typically forget things in the car — keys, wallets, briefcases. But a baby daughter?
That's what happened Thursday just north of Washington, police say.
"Dad forgot baby was in the car, parked the car, got on the Metro," said Lucille Baur, a spokeswoman for the Montgomery County, Md., Police Department.
"I don't know exactly when he got the memory flash, but he was in D.C. when it was the horrible defining moment, 'Oh my goodness, I think I've left my child back in my car,'" Baur said.
At that point, she said, Jonathan Sander got off the southbound train and onto a northbound one, returning to the Shady Grove Metrorail station about 12 miles north of Washington.
By that time, other commuters had noticed the 7 1/2-month-old girl in the back seat of the car, firefighters had opened the locked door and the child had been taken to a hospital as a precaution.
She was reunited there with her mother.
"Child Protective Services was comfortable with releasing the child back to the mom," said Baur. "We all believe that the child was not intentionally left in the car."
Sander, described as "terrified, embarrassed," was charged with leaving a child under 8 unattended in a car or building. He could face a fine of up to $500 and 30 days in jail.
A call to Sander's home was not returned.

Re: Forgotten Child?
Wow, that just disgusts me. What if nobody had realized the baby was in the car and he hadn't remembered until later on? That poor baby could be dead

This happened in California a few months ago. The mom left the baby in the car, left the baby in her office parking lot all day and then showed up to the day care and the day care was like you never dropped her off.
The baby died because it was too hot in the car. I will try to look up the article on line.
How can you be so busy with your own life that you forget your child in a car? I don't get it.

THAT'S MURDER! MURDER, MURDER, MURDER! She should be put in jail to think about what she did to her child! Your child comes first!

Re: Forgotten Child?
Unfortunately, it happens. Since something similar happened in my family (not me)- I can tell you it usually happens when there is a change in schedule. It's not the sick & tired part. It's that your child doesn't make a peep when they're sleeping.
Glad she was found safe!

Murder? No actually that's not murder. Murder is when you willfully kill someone. It would be one thing if it was a situation where they leave the child in the car to go to a bar (as one mom did).

Re: Forgotten Child?
I work for a rental car company and on SEVERAL occassions we've seen people leave their babies in the rental car in a rush to get to their planes.
Most of the time they realize and then come back before they get on the plane, but once the people actually flew out of LA and were in the air before they realized. I just don't understand that one at all!!
