I Will Always Remember What Is Important To Me

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
It should be mandatory that you never have another one

It does happen accidentally at times. I've investigated one of these incidents and you can't imagine the effect on the parents. They'll never recover. Tragic.

@abooklover exactly. I saw a story and it made perfect sense as to how the woman forgot.

@abooklover I have had kids die in my arms ,irresponsible people boating and drinking ,and then beg me not to let their kid die ,I wish I was God but I'm not .
it has haunted me for years ,at times I needed meds to keep me from dreaming
So I do know how they feel to an extent ,I had to keep reliving it too .
Wishing I had taken a faster boat ,wish I would have taken a different way
had I just got there sooner ,we lived it over and over too

I can't see forgetting your baby in a car ,I can't

@rckt148 oh I understand what you're saying and the ones I've investigated were incidents of carelessness. I'm just saying it happens. People get distracted and don't pay attention. I'm not condoning the behavior by any means.

So do you think this lady should have never been a parent?? @rckt148

@iamnikki I am not this ladies judge ,I can't imagine Forgetting my child
My ex wife did get high and forget 2 of our kids on Miami beach in a playpen
My youngest at the time was cooked with sunburn ,she never got high again .

I am the one always wanting to know where the baby is ,if its head is secure where it can't flop around ,its the last thing in the car and the first thing out ,maybe seeing all the death makes me more aware .

The thing about putting something important to you with your baby so you don't forget your baby gets me ,that was the reason for the post .

Nothing should be more important than your kids
My Grandkids are all almost grown and I am still reminding them of things to keep them safe .
I believe in prevention ,and avoid regret
I get common sense is not so common anymore ,we are way to distracted
so prideful in our multitasking ,
I can't talk and listen at the same time and do both effectively
Its been tested ,I am less than 1/2 on both ,and I am good at playing an instrument ,singing and listening to the crowd to judge which music they like best ,,
But I wouldn't leave my guitar in a hot car ,I sure as hell would not forget my baby
As to this lady ,I am sorry got her loss and grief ,i'll pray for her peace .

@rckt148 I do agree with "putting something important to you with your baby so you don't forget your baby..". I do not agree that "Not only should you not be a parent It should be mandatory that you never have another one ".
I understand all cases are NOT the same. I'm done and I'm moving on.

@iamnikki I respect your point of view ,you can't understand unless you have walked in my shoes or theirs ,abortion is another debate I avoid ,
I will never put my 2 cents into that subject again to support it ,
Unless its personal ,you only see what you chose to see .
But once you walk in those shoes ,you will never see things the same way again
I respect you ,and your views ,this is just to close to home for me I guess
Have a good one
I will always support you having an opinion ,even if I don't agree 🤗
