Actually that was my reaction too Backwoodsman.

There was a case fairly recently of a PAEDIATRIC NURSE who 'forgot' she had her baby in the back. She parked her car outside the hospital where she worked and the poor little soul died, having only been noticed hours later by a concerned passer-by.

I can understand perhaps forgetting one has left a cardigan or a parcel on the back seat, but how on earth can one forget a child??
