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.

WOW. Sure he or she is a total fucking retard, but also this is incredibly sad and I can totally feel for the person. I am forgetful enough to have done this, my wife is the brains. I would feel like dying if this has happened to me. My wife would be at my face with the full force of the law too. Shit.

Anyway, just the other day I was playing with the kids near the laundry room and they both hid inside the dryer!!!! This became my moment of clarity. Nothing happened to them, they were just playing hide and seek, and I was there watching in horror as both climbed into the dryer and closed the door. I mean just imagine if I had run down to just press the button as I often do. Now, until they can't fit anymore, I have to check to make sure there are no kids in the dryer or the oven. It's sintered in my brains to do that.

I just can't imagine how the parent felt when they parked the car and realized what happened. Plus why didn't the day care call? Usually they will call if you didn't bring your kid. Not to detract guilt, just pointing that out.
