Read that this morning. Beggars belief. Didnt believe that people could really be that stupid!!!

What a stupid woman! I hope she faces some sort of penalty and I hope social services look into whether she is a fit mother :-(

Some females should never be allowed to breed.

still trying to work out what the appropriate penalty is. Wonder whatthe rest of her parenting skills are like it doesnt bear thinking about.

What I find interesting about this story is that I was brought up in Cyprus (dad in armed forces) and nobody ever got that sun burned, in fact the first time I met another fellow Brit they were so burned they looked like a tomato, unfortunately I think its a bit of a culture thing even though the woman was not British, I find that people who have not been brought up in warmer climes tend to go over the top.

I was brought up in Kenya and I always used sun cream on my children.

I just can't believe that someone would do that.

But then, there was a case in the local paper a couple of years ago - somebody left their baby in a car in the car park of the a supermarket near me while they went in and did their shopping - on one of the hottest days of the year. I believe they were facing charges....

children dieing in hot cars is not unusual at all unfortunately.
there have been a lot of cases of people just forgetting they where there & going into work for the day
