A 9-month-old child has died after being left in a car by the child’s grandmother for nearly eight hours in what authorities are investigating as a heat-related death.

The incident occurred in Beeville, Texas, some 100 miles southeast of San Antonio, on Wednesday when the Beeville Police Department said a child was found unresponsive at approximately 4 p.m. in the child safety seat of their grandmother’s car, according to a statement from the Beeville Police Department.

That's sad and terrifying that it could happen. Baby probably fell asleep on the drive home and grandma probably forgot it was a day she picked baby up

Just put an elaborate check list.

Then promptly feel like you're wasting your own time doing the check list everyday.

Then think you're too good for the check list.

Then get surprised when your kid is dead.

Or, alternatively, do meth

You actually can get methamphetamine to treat your ADHD. It goes by the brand name “Desoxyn.”

Adderall isn’t methamphetamine, it’s amphetamine.

And Concerta/Ritalin aren’t methamphetamine, they’re methylphenidate.

Once or twice when mine was a baby, she fell asleep, and I began to walk away after parking. I didn't make it more than a few steps, but the guilt and panic were real.
