You shouldn't have kids if you have to rely on your daycare to remind you not to kill them in your backseat.

But keep making excuse for shitty "parents". Take some fucking responsibility. You are caring for a living thing who can't defend itself from your ineptitude. I've never forgotten my dogs let alone my kids. And I have forgotten my phones and wallets many many times.

"Forgotten baby syndrome".... More like "fucking irresponsible moron" syndrome.

I tend to agree. Call it whatever you want, have a doctor try and attach syndrome to it etc.

In my entire life I’ve only lost my wallet and my phone once. Somthing I carry with me all day every day, and the night I lost both I’m pretty sure I was drugged.

Some how miraculously I manage to keep them with me and be responsible for them day in day out, I’m fuckin amazing!

"Forgotten baby syndrome" - So many shitty parents have done it we have to make up a medical term for it.

I'm so happy my parents weren't born with the 'forgot the baby' gene.

can't find any stats prior to 1998

is it a millennial parents phenomenon?

69 people die each year, in the US, from accidental shootings. I can't seem to find the name for that syndrome.

I'm indifferent to gun ownership and support safe use of firearms. I can find more legitimate excuses for someone getting shot, accidentally, than I can for someone forgetting their kids in a car.

Part of me feels that some of these parents actually want to rid themselves of their baby and this is the only way they somehow feel it's okay to go about doing it.

Funny that you mention this, but I feel way more anger and outrage when I hear cases like these of a dog or pet left to die in a hot car. I don't feel any remorse when it's a kid, call it natural selection.

The various safety features and regulations introduced in the 90's, such as airbags, meant the safest place for the car seat was rear facing in the back seat. Before then, kids were dying in vehicle crashes at much higher rates. In essence, the efforts to improve passenger safety created a new set of problems.

In the US, laws for mandatory car seats were just being passed in the mid-late 80's. Even the position of Maggie Simpson's car seat and steering wheel next to Marge in the front seat during The Simpsons intro didn't seem so out of place back in 1989.

i was sitting on my parents lap in the driver seat or standing on the center console sticking out the sunroof :fuckthatshit:
