Thank goodness Peter and Colin saved the little boy.
Poor kid. No excuse, mother. I hear all these excuses for this sort of thing, but I don't buy it.
Im 18 and not a mother but gosh what a bad mistake. According to Australian news the woman had no idea the boy was still in the car because she had dropped her other four little ones at home and then came shopping thinking she had dropped all five of her children home. Close friends said that she is a very good mother. I really feel for her though. I'm sure the mother is feeling very guilty after that heated confrontation in the shop but seriously, how can you NOT realise your child was still in the car? Cmon man it's not an excuse but a careless mistake and failure. It doesnt matter whether you're a good full-time mum but one fatal mistake like that should not be lightly considered upon and from then her reputation fades. That boy was near death because of one stupid mistake. It's best if all mothers just check everything in case they forget something. Taking care of kids is a lifelong committed sacrifice and investment not a temporary drop off, gone, done, off to shop job. Sheesh.
