Welcome 

Never Say Never

No one ever thinks that they would ever leave a child behind in a hot car. The statement, "I would never do that", is a dangerous statement, because it leaves a person in the mindset that they do not need to take proper precautions.

“Have you ever forgotten your keys? Have you ever driven from point A to point B and wondered how you really got there?” Your brain went in autopilot mode. It happens more often than we think. Please, don't ever think that it wouldn't happen to you. The Washington Post’s article Fatal Distraction states “...it has happened to a dentist. A postal clerk. A social worker. A police officer. An accountant. A soldier. A paralegal. An electrician. A Protestant clergyman. A rabbinical student. A nurse. A construction worker. An assistant principal. It happened to a mental health counselor, a college professor and a pizza chef. It happened to a pediatrician. It happened to a rocket scientist. The facts in each case differ a little, but always there is the terrible moment when the parent realizes what he or she has done, often through a phone call from a spouse or caregiver. This is followed by a frantic sprint to the car. What awaits there is the worst thing in the world.”-- Gene Weingarten, March 08, 2009.
