I'm a parent, I don't need to read an article to be able to tell you it is easy. If you are with a kid, just take her with you or if you can't do so, don't bring your kid along. Billions of people manage just fine.
- icebraining 9y agoPlease read the article. It's not about people who leave the kid in the car purposefully while they go do something else. It's about people who bring the kid in the car to drop them off somewhere, and they simply forget. Yes, it happens. Yes, to regular people. And yes, billions of people manage to do even this just fine. But it's a reasoning flaw - a well-known human bias - to assume that the people to whom it happens must be different somehow.
- 0xbear 9y agoYes, I've read it. Just because you didn't mean to do it doesn't mean it's not a crime. That's why it's called manslaughter and not murder, and that's why it carries a lower penalty.
- icebraining 9y agoI don't dispute that it's a crime. The law - and its agents, like Mr. Morrogh - are often wicked enough for that. I disputed the claim that it's easy.

- Aloha 9y agoI'd argue as a non-parent they the guilt they'll carry around for life is enough.
