I Will Always Remember What Is Important To Me

@iamnikki if you have kids ,especially an infant
You know where they are at all times ,you have to put them in a car seat
How can you call letting a child die because you are on your phone an accident?
Its getting to be a common thing ,
They will bust your windows out over a pet ,
but a baby cooks in a back seat
So now some are suggesting Moms put a purse or their phone with your child so you won't forget it
NO IF YOU DONT KNOW YOU HAVE A BABY ,you don't need it
I was a drunk and a doper and never left my kids in a car
Drinking and driving was not much better ,we all do stupid things
But this is getting to me a regular thing ...
It happened in Jacksonville Florida
The city that made the 23rd spot on the most dangerous cities list

@iamnikki If you have kids you remember them because that chapter of your life you are living to keep them safe, healthy and happy. People who don't feel that way should refrain from breeding or give up their kids.

@rckt148 in your initial post you said nothing about the parent being on the phone...

@iamnikki it did not say for sure that was the cause ,but most of the time now days phones are part of the problem
My friend was decapitated over a trucker on a phone
A girl hit my Grandkids bus ,she was still texting as she got out of her car
a woman hit me a sandwich in one hand and a phone in the other ,,
Phones are part of a growing problem and I think infant death is part of it

Thank you for admitting you have no facts.

@iamnikki the only fact I need is it is too damn frequent ,
it is happening more and more .
80 kids have drowned so far this year in Florida too
If I am a bad guy to say WAKE THE HELL UP ,with no facts ,,so be it
I am used to be the voice of reason ignored until after the fact
and they are begging me to come save them ,,when I warned them .
We have way to many excuses now days and way to little accountability
Way to many saying "ignore that old man what does he know "
And then they want me to take their calls from prison ,
If they only knew how many children's lifeless bodies I have had to pretend I was trying to save it for the sake of someones feeling
when what i wanted to do was choke them .
but I kept pretending I am saving a child that is gone ,
I pray you never hear a Mom crying please save my baby and you know its not in your power ,its gone
And I did not call this Mom out or post the story ,

This was my point

Another dead child dying in a car
If you need to put your cell phone in your back seat to remember you have a child
Not only should you not be a parent

That is a suggestion on face book to remind you not to forget your child
Put something important to you with the child ,so you won't forget the child

@SW-User myself and some others on this post are referring to accidents not carelessness ( being one phones, eating )

@iamnikki leaving your kid in the car is not an accident. Texting is not an accident either.

@iamnikki Well I started this post
My Intent was to call attention to its frequency and the stupid face book post
Not to harm anyone
Just call attention to the problem
Tonight I have talked about them ,so more than likely I will dream about the babies and children I was unable to save .
It will never be over for me
I was the one feeling guilty I was to late
I was not the one who put them in harms way to start with
But I still relive it from time to time none the less
And I fight PTSD because of it

@rckt148 And I get that. Just don't like nor agree with the last two points and I don't have to. My point is accidents happen, Not referring to your story because I don't have the full story. Good day

@iamnikki It's unfortunate but I don't think that a parent willingly leaves their child in a hot car. Sometimes people have things on their minds, some get distracted....a parent that does that has to live with their behavior for the rest of their life. It's a huge burden. One bad decision in your life does not define who someone is.

@DallasCowboysFan and I agree ,and my saying they should not have other kids may have been harsh ,I have a lot going on in my own life and how I feel from day to day my alter things I say ,I am not perfect either ..
But as one who has had kids die in my arms ,this is not an easy topic for me
Nor abortion ,,I gave advice on that subject many years ago that now that I have seen the outcome ,,,I wish I had kept my know it all opinion to myself
Only the one in that situation will have to live with the outcome and the constant reminders ,,,that sometimes our actions come with consequences ,and many times NOTHING we do can fix it when our choice was not the right one .

The thing that set me off was the comment
To put your purse or your phone with your kid ,,something important to you that you won't forget ,,PERIOD !!!!! that pissed me off
IF YOUR PHONE MEANS MORE TO YOU THAN YOUR CHILD ,,,
YOU DON'T NEED KIDS and for that I will NOT apologize
If your phone means more to you than your kid
You should not be a parent ,
My ex left our kids on a beach in a play pen ,,she was high
She NEVER got high again ,,nor did she ever forget she had kids
We all make mistakes ,,I sure have ,and some we have to deal with the rest of our lives
The ones I hate dealing with ,,are the little ones I couldn't save
They were already gone ,,,but for the sake of a Mom
I pretended like I was trying ,,,but it was gone ,it was her fault
But I did show compassion ,and I tried to comfort her and Dads
But now I have to remember their loss too
So forgive me if sometimes I say

Wake up People ,your kids are your future ,,they are not broken toys
when they are gone ,no one can fix them
