Or how about the women (from Detroit)
http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/23694661/detail.html that awoke several
hours after the plane had emptied and now she's suing the airline because
they locked her on the empty plane?

Subject: Re: OT: Kids are Dying in Cars
Unfortunately it's not just parents that do this. We're had several cases
in MKE, in both summer and in the dead of winter, where the driver of a
day care van has forgotten to off-load a child. For those folks they're
considering an alarm that can only be disarmed by physically deactivating
it at each and every seat in the van, thus, theoretically, making sure
each seat is checked to make sure no one is left behind.

Has anyone thought about the fact that, just maybe, the parents that do
this might subconsciously want to forget about their children?

Excellent and timely article. It doesn't take a very warm outside
temperature to turn a vehicle into an oven. The suggestion to put a
"reminder item" in the back seat is a good low tech solution, but it's
also a pretty sad commentary on our society that it's easier to
remember to take your cell phone than it is to remember your child is
sitting behind you.

What Paul 2 said about Paul 1's article :)
I was about to cut and paste the line about the reminder in my reply....
It leapt off the page, er, screen.

Most of my writing is, well, frivolous. Not this time. Kids are dying
in cars at an unprecedented rate. As unbelievable as it sounds, those
deaths are often caused by a simple memory lapse. The Times asked me
to look into it. The article appears in tomorrow's paper, and it's up
on the web now.
Our own Ken Waller served as a very valuable resource, and he's quoted
in the article. You'll find it here:
