A 6-month-old boy died after being left for hours in a hot car in Louisiana, authorities said.

The baby was found dead in the backseat by his parent at about 5:46 p.m. Tuesday, according to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.

When the parent went to pick up the baby from day care after work, they realized they forgot to drop him off at day care that morning, the sheriff’s office said.

    i was a toddler in the 70’s. i was never put in a child seat. i distinctly remember crawling around in the floorboard and watching the streetlights go past from a lying position. i’m glad i have those memories instead of being put in restraints every time i was ferried around. we were even in a car wreck once and i got thrown around a little bit. got a few cuts on my hand and that was it.

    but i don’t have kids so i don’t worry about any of that shit.

    i’m not sure if there was a point to this other than to be amused at yall for freaking out over everything.

      I once lit a cigarette, but it didnt stay lit. So i guess that means that everyone who lights a cigarette has to light it twice…

      Except that it doesnt and my experience put me in a minority that day.

      Thats why we dont use anecdotes as evidence of facts.

      People are right to be concerned about safety when the evidence shows that not being concerned causes more deaths despite there being some lucky idiots out there.

        that’s not at all an uptight thing to say.

          Given that it wasn’t angry or controlling, it wasn’t actually a particularly uptight thing to say. No.

          You presented your personal experience as evidence of fact and used that to act condescendingly towards people who care about the safety of their children.

          Just think about that for a minute.

                  You dont wven know how to solve your attitude. I dont have much faith you can solve anything else.
