Irresponsible Parent.

[Evillusion]

If at working place carpark i usually will use the key to lock the doors sometimes i dont ever bother to lock.....security is not even a stone's throw from the place i parked and we are on good terms....

[Atrecord]

It's a break in her routine like you said.

 

She probably never had a cue to check the backseat after she dropped off her kid at the babysitter. That day, she just missed that one trigger and subsequently went about her daily routine. It's our automatic system 2 that's on-going.

 

Unfortunately, this one mistake had grave consequences.

 

Yup... This is just really suay. One seemingly innocuous oversight, and she will - if she's a good mother - be remorseful for life...

 

We can only hope that our minds are able to remember such minor but critical things...

 

For myself, I've had similar lapse before but luckily it was far far less consequential... I have those hooks for the headrests of the front seats, which we use to hang plastic bags like for buying breakfast/lunch/dinner. Just a couple of months ago, I drove out for lunch and bought a fruit back along the way, and hung the fruit (in a plastic bag) at the hook... And i forgot to take it out when i reached my office. It was only 2+ hr later that i suddenly remembered, and the originally cold fruit, was almost baked in the car which was under the hot sun...

no mother would want to murder their own kid.

 

sometimes mistakes happen

 

the mum will blame herself more than any one of us.

 

just pray that the kid didn't suffer too much 

 

what kind of parent is this?!

Mother herself a lecturer and yet she is so irresponsible that she neglect the importance of Childcare

Leaving her 2 year-old child in a car unattended.

Two-year-old girl in Malaysia dies after being left inside car for four hours

 

PORT DICKSON - A two-year-old girl died after she was left inside a car by her mother.

She was believed to have succumbed to heatstroke.

Hasmah Masroh, 32, found her daughter, Nur Awfa Humaisha' Muhammad Ali Riduan, unconscious after she realised that she was still in the car at the Port Dickson Vocational College here.

Port Dickson OCPD Supt Zainduin Ahmad said preliminary investigations revealed that the mother, who is a lecturer at the college, left the toddler in the car at the college's parking lot for four hours.

"She only realised that her child was still in the car at around 1pm. When she rushed to the vehicle, the victim was already unconscious," he said.

The mother then rushed her daughter to the Port Dickson health clinic but the victim was pronounced dead a short while later.

Supt Zainudin said a post mortem would be conducted on the child to establish the cause of death. No arrests have been made.

The case, he said, was being investigated under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act for child abuse.

Offenders can be jailed up to 10 years and fined not more than RM20,000 (S$6,700) upon conviction.

The mum will live her life in guilt forever already.... her irresponsibility or a moment of forgerfullness haunts her forever already. Why do we have to rub in.

yes, u r too?

Yes too...

[Lmws214]

no rubbing in.

just a sober reminder to all parents including myself that we have to be very mindful and alert when comes to taking care of young kids under our charge.

Indeed..

 

Not the first time too for such incidents

[Gnahp]

another one is swimming pool

 

don't take your eyes off even for one seco nd, I said that to my wife like a broken record

 

a boy drown at my place because of that

[BanCoe]

Such things happen once in a billion people; We hear quite many times people leaving their kids in the car just to go to supermarket (usually some one passing by the car)  would just call the police whom might just break the glass if necessary ; It might be just a 10-15 minute errand and the parent sees that the child is sleeping and dont want to wake up the child as she/he may go cranky and its very difficult situation

 

..... but this one is really a freak one, I'm sure the mother will regret for the rest of her life and other parents will learn from this lesson 

the thing is that did the child die of suffocation of carbon monoxide poisoning or heat or even maybe dehydration....... must have been traumatic for the little kid.....  . RIP little kiddo

Agree with you.

 

As for your cold fruits that was almost baked in the car under the hot sun, think its a good idea to treat my mother in law. 

[Atrecord]

Indeed..

 

Not the first time too for such incidents

 

Not too long ago, SG also has one almost similar case, but got passerby alerted police, and came to break window to rescue the kid...

[Acemundo]

i sometimes forget to off the lights or lock the doors or even forget my keys ... but i cant imagine leaving a kid behind in the car .... 

 

its not as if we are driving buses ...

 

precisely.......we tend to forget the trivial stuff.  i did forget bring phone charger or laptop or bag of shopping.  but never have i forgotten to bring my kid out because they are my most precious object in the car!

[thebutcher]

I suffered from heatstroke once and it wasnt a nice experience - the muscle spasms, hallucinations, feeling like your brain is fried.

 

Very awful for the little girl.

i admit i do leave my sons in the car occasionally when i need to run some errand including grocery shopping.  but it was always a real quick one and away for them pretty short time and never ever forgotten about them and to keep the time away from them at a minimum.  on top of these, i only do so for when in indoor car parkm and when the kids are happy or comfortable for dad to go away for a while.

 

i still think this mother didn't not have so strong feelings for her son to have forgotten.
