    Yeah, but the greenhouse effect comes into play when inside a car. I'm sure it was at least twice that hot for the kids. :( Jeremy L. Falcon Homepage : Sonork = 100.16311

      The US is experiencing a heat wave throughout most of the country. CNN news reported that a women left 2 children in her car for 3 hours while she was having her hair done. Both her children died from the sweltering heat. Some people just dont deserve kids..

        I really hate to have to say this, but... twice in my son's first few months of life, I left him in the car: once for 2 minutes, once for a half hour. I wasn't used to having him, and plumb forgot! Neither time was it hot. Both times I remembered on my own. Both times I nearly soiled myself in the rush to get him. I don't know if this is an excuse or what. It's certainly not a justification. And if she left them there intentionally, why, that's a whole 'nother story. Those of you who are so fuking self-righteous about this ("kill her!") might want to consider that no punishment the state could inflict on her will be worse than the guilt she will now live with for the rest of her life.

Absolutely true... if she's a normal functioning human being with real emotions. However, if she is one of these self absorbed, arrogant POS parents that doesn't understand the commitment and sacrifice required to raise a child then she needs to be exterminated.

            "Greenhouse effect" ? Where did you pick that errant bit of wisdom up at ?. Yea the temp was way up in there but it had nothing to do with a greenhouse effect anymore than staying in a closed room with no circulation or ventilation does. Compound that with a metal exterior and it gets pretty hot. In Texas we have three or four of these cases each year. Sometimes its stupidity on the parents side, sometimes its childern opening the door and climbing in, all kinda things. Last year there was a case where the kids were playing hide and seek and one hid in the trunck of a car in 95 degree weather. I treat my pets better than some people treat there kids.

              What you have done was wrong, But I admit I have done similar. "Though not for 1/2 an hour" The real trouble is some people get into the habit of locking/leaving there kids in the car, and forget the realities. Regardz Colin J Davies

                              Sadly, it happens about once a year here. Last year we lost one in the driveway. Mommy unloaded the groceries, shut the door, and completely forgot the baby was still in the car!!! Given the constant care a baby needs, how could anyone "forget" such a thing? I see people shoving their little ones out the door to play without any shoes, too. The surface temperature of asphalt here has been measured at 290° F - more than hot enough to cause third degree burns. I hope the kids who survive such parents don't inherit their intelligence!

I hate to interfere with your ability to sleep nights but in reality, it works just the opposite. You'll find that the stupid tend to reproduce in far greater numbers due to a long string of reasons such as apathy, lack of foresight, no comprehension of the consequences or responsibilities of having children, too drunk, stoned or stupid to use contraceptives, and the list just goes on and on.
