This is right next to where I work. I noticed a helicopter during my lunch break but thought nothing of it.
Leaves an icky feeling being so close to it and all...

I don't understand how people can be so freaking stupid. Yet every year it happens.

Also, why the hell didn't the people that called the cops break the window & get the kid out?

If I find a kid trapped in a car I'm not going to wait around for the cops to show up.

10 minutes might have saved it.

I guessing its because they don't want to be responsible for the window. They probably weren't sure of the baby's condition.

That a shame.

Once a few years ago, a good friend of mine was the first one on the scene when a toddler girl fell through a gap on the Golden Gate Bridge and fell something like 100 feet to her death. He was understandably pretty shaken - she was actually alive when he arrived but died on a helicopter enroute to the hospital.

But regardless, a baby in a hot car is dangerous. Just because the baby might be alive when you walk by, doesn't mean it will stay alive.

Well--they probably weighed their options and chose the one with the least consequences to themselves.

are you serious? an hour is way long--from time of report no less.
i seem to recall a reporter that experimented with the amount of time she could stay in a rolled up car.
after about 10mins in the heat she had trouble breathing and needed to exit.

My God, the driver was the professor in UCI, according to LA times he is Mark J. Warschauer, what is going on with his brain? A professor left his 10 mo old son in his car for more than 3 hours?

Sad story, makes me very mad.

If I find a kid trapped in a car I'm not going to wait around for the cops to show up.

Last summer in the Bay Area CA I found a dog in a car at the mall, he was not doing very well.
I got a hammer form my tool box, shattered the window then call the cops.

The showed up got some info from me, then thanked me.

Oh, I feel so sorry for him. You just know this was a horrible, tragic, thoughtless error. He is punished right now far beyond the power of the courts to punish.

This man must have had a lot on his mind, somehow got on "autopilot" with catastrophic results. I am sure he is grieving deeply and feels as awful as any human ever has.

Horse CaCa, he needs to rot in a cell, as do all the others who kill their children

I feel the same way. Assuming that it wasn't intentional.

I hope you're both kidding.


3 hours isn't a tragic "error."
