Since I found 5 different threads with "mother of the year" in the title, I figured I would just post this piece in the most recent. If mods want to merge, here are the other threads.

And here is my contribution.

TOPEKA, Kan. -- Investigators said twin 3-year-olds died after being left inside a car in northeastern Kansas for more than two hours. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that the twins were found in the car parked in their driveway two hours after being reported missing near Topeka. A girl in the back seat of the unlocked car was pronounced dead at the scene. A boy in the front seat died at a hospital. The temperature was about 75 degrees, but authorities said it could have been 30 degrees hotter inside the car with the windows rolled up. Detectives have been questioning the mother.

Couple of questions pop up for me that make this story more than it seems.
1. Why were they reported missing if they were found in the car IN THE DRIVEWAY?
2. Why were they dead in a car that was UNLOCKED?
3. Is an estimated 105 degrees really enough to kill a couple three year olds? Don't "kids in cars" sort of deaths happen when the inside temp is 120 or higher?

If Only

odie Edwards, whose 11-month-old daughter died Wednesday when she left the child in her car while she worked, has spent two days wondering, "If only...."

If only she had looked in the back seat.

If only she had heard something.

If only the baby sitter had called.

If only she had gone out to the car at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m., noon.

If only she didn't die.

"There are a lot of 'if onlys,' " Edwards' lawyer Robert Fischer said.

Edwards' daughter, Jenna, was found dead Wednesday in her Honda minivan on the campus of Cincinnati Christian University in East Price Hill. The child had been left in the van from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on a day when temperatures reached 92 degrees.

Edwards told investigators on the scene that she couldn't believe that her child-care provider hadn't called to ask where the infant was.

According to one source close the investigation, the baby sitter wasn't expecting Jenna to be dropped off Wednesday.

See it isn't MY fault. It's the babysitter's for not calling me and reminding me of my maternal responsibilities.

:so:

Oh Gosh

The mother who left her 11-month-old daughter in her minivan Wednesday outside Cincinnati Christian University called 911, explained she’d left her there about eight hours and said she was certain Jenna was already dead.

“I went out to my car a few minutes ago and realized I left my baby in there and she died,” Jodie Edwards, 34, a counseling professor at the East Price Hill campus, tells the call taker. “She was 11 months. Oh, gosh.”

Staying on the phone, Edwards walks back inside the school to get help. She says she hasn’t yet touched the baby, but repeats that she’s certain Jenna’s dead. At least one man comes outside with her. The operator urges them to take the baby out of the hot car.

But the man says he’s sure it’s too late, too: “I think she really is gone.”

Golly gee doc, you killed your daughter.

I am not a parent, but I don't think it really matters. I cannot think of anything in the slightest bit that would distract me so much that I would FORGET MY BABY(if I had one) IN A CAR!

Hell, I won't even leave an animal in a car just to run into a Quickie Mart. When I kept small animals for pets (rats to specific) I barely left them hone alone. They traveled where I traveled even if it meant they lived in an empty margarine tub with holes poked in it for a few days. I mean, seriously, WHO THE FUCK FORGETS A BABY? This truly boggles me, and always has. I am less shocked to read some mother killed her baby deliberately than I am when I hear about this kind of accidental death.
