Can any of you empathise with this? I can.The child is asleep in the car seat,making no noise,in the back of the car.Especially if your routine has changed,say you don't normally take the child to nursery,your wife does,but this morning you are doing it.You're thinking about work and other things. I can see how you could momentarily forget that the child was still there.Personally I would have noticed the child when I locked the car door at work but sadly this chap didn't.This could happen to anyone and as Margaret Pilkington said,we should not judge.
