A tragedy

[pegkerr]

This story--and especially the picture of the father--absolutely broke my heart.

I can't give the family anything but heartfelt sympathy. Every parent knows how thin the line is that we walk between life as usual and making a mistake that has consequences you will never recover from.

I hope that their family stays intact after this tragedy, and may God be with them as they mourn their loss.

Edited to add: I cross posted this in badparents here and it has generated a large amount of comments, if people would like to see what others are saying.

There are too many stories like this. Which leads me to wonder if it is possible to have some sort of mechanical device that will remind you "BABY STILL IN CAR". Some kind of switch that sets itself automatically. Humans are fallible - technology can help.
