Many start thinking of what they are in the car for before they get out of the car.

Wrong...this does not happen to good parents...

Well, I can see how the point could be made that stressful days happen to good parents which would turn them into not good parents, which is valid. But yeah, I think after your child dies through your negligence, you aren't really allowed to call yourself a "good" parent. It's the same way you aren't allowed to call yourself a good driver after you've parked your car in your neighbor's living room. On the flow chart of parenting "have you ever killed your child" doesn't lead to the "good parent" response.

Think of the children.

What number would it take for you to advocate for them to develop this?
113 is the current number. Of those, I promise a few of them where outright murdered to get rid of a problem child or one the parent didn't like, want.
I really don't see how you can forget your kid in the car but you can remember your cell phone. That's bullshit. If you're that fucking dumb you need to be euthanized.
