A 6-month-old boy died after being left for hours in a hot car in Louisiana, authorities said.

The baby was found dead in the backseat by his parent at about 5:46 p.m. Tuesday, according to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.

When the parent went to pick up the baby from day care after work, they realized they forgot to drop him off at day care that morning, the sheriff’s office said.

      Just came along. Presumably most people read your 1st comment (which is horrifyingly unempathethic, TBH) and didn’t really follow the rest of the discussion

        Maybe, but people even seem to be unhappy with me admitting I’m wrong in multiple replies. Like the one you responded to.

        Like I said, I don’t know what they want from me. I can’t unwrite the post. I don’t have a time machine.

          It’s actually pretty vague, since only one of your comments seem to actually acknowledge you having read the article, and none of your comments indicate it changed your opinion (one about you having the capability to be wrong, but I can’t tell whether you’re saying you were wrong in this case, or just a general rhetorical device).

          I’m not judging you here, I’m pointing out there might be a huge disconnect between what you think you’ve said and what’s actually coming across that would explain the reception you’re getting.

            I’m not sure how I’m coming across as anything but just sincerely admitting I’m wrong here:

            I didn’t put that edit up until multiple downvotes already were given there.

            People don’t like it when I’m wrong and they also don’t like it when I say I’m wrong.

              That’s what I’m trying to tell you, it doesn’t come across as an admission, at least to me. I get what you’re trying to say, but that’s not the first impression it conveys

      It’s Ok. I think it’s easy to dismiss obvious situations such as these, but as a tired parent I can tell you the mind will play tricks on you. I always triple check everything because I know I’m already exhausted. I can’t fault another parent for a mistake though.

      We want you to go back on time and stop your former self from making the initial comment obviously. /s 🙂

        I think that would be dishonest of me. I’d rather people see that I said something incorrect, especially when it’s something people commonly get wrong according to the provided article.

          You can certainly keep the original comment, just with an addendum. Of course you don’t have to, but it could prevent further misunderstanding
