Not what it seems, or is it ?
"A 10-MONTH-old baby girl has died in Spain after her grandfather left her in the back of his car for eight hours"Bit of a roller coaster this article, man leaves granddaughter, 10 months old, in the back of a car in Spain, in summer, hanging is too good for him
but read on, he went for a coffee & forgot he'd left her there, so poor man has trouble with memory 
not his fault But hold on, cars here heat up in less than a minute to maybe 50c+, who would leave a dog, let alone a child in a car under those conditions 
I can't think of a single place in Spain where kids are not welcomed with open arms, was it he couldn't be bothered to take her

So he was minding the baby, but who was minding him? Cos it sure as heck sounds as tho he needed minding...
A classic example, my mother died in 1965, it was a traumatic day & I remember it well, or so thought till my father died about 13 years ago & I had to return to the same crematorium, it was on the other side of London to where I lived, I couldn't even find it, when I did there I looked at it & I'd have sworn I'd never been there before, ok it may have changed a bit over the years but not that much, it's a grave yard & highly unlikely they dug up graves to alter it, my memory of that day was complete fabrication.
But is failing memory any excuse for what this man did
This happened here with a father leaving his child in car while I believe he was at work. He went to court and never heard the outcome of what happened to him.
How does a person defend such action.
Sad really sad story.
Old or not old..if he can't be responsible for a baby he shouldn't even be driving a car!
This is horrendous
If he has senility already, I'm wondering why he took such a delicate responsibility.
My prayers for him and the family.
But ye gods to then tootle on to work - or carry on chatting - without ever remembering is terrifying. That poor, poor family.
Off shopping. Won't take the dog.
Such a horrible combination of circumstances - his memory, not a person he met over coffee asking how his grandchild was, not a single person noticing there was a baby in the car - stuff of nightmares
How awful...the guilt would eat you up inside...losing a pet or person in that way...horrible...people need to be educated...I do not buy into the memory loss idea...
I do know a man long ago that left his pet in a car that died from heat...not a bad person but just not educated...he learned the hard way...
I hope that the grandpa will not be looking after other children...just in case he forgets...
The Father was to take his daughter to the creche before going to work.
It wasn't the usual for him but he had to this particular morning.
He went to work ..it was a hot day...came out after work to find his daughter dead in the car.
He had simply in the bustle of his routine forgotten he had the baby.
A young man with seemingly no memory issues.
A simple (not to say that lightly) a case of carelessness.
Much like the grandfather's case.
Both men having to live with this fact that they have been responsible is punishment enough I feel.
Both didn't want this to happen both didn't set out to kill the baby.
Both have to live with the suffering of it.
I don't think anything that can be done to either can be any worse than what they themselves are mentally putting themselves through everyday now and for the rest of their lives.
There are no winners. Nobody would do that on purpose, but some people aren't good at minding children
I always remember my mam telling me when I was young, and wanting to go to a match with my dad, that she would never let him take us to matches without her, as he would get so engrossed in the match that he'd totally forget he had children.
That is not to make light of the situation above, but often men do forget they are in charge of the children.
Dad drives to work and 'forgets' he was meant to drop baby off at the creche on the way so baby gets left in the car for hours on end and ends up dead, these people should be jailed for life
Most men have no clue about caring for a child, only today I saw a male pushing a shopping cart with a tiny child trailing who then wandered off in a different direction
He had no idea until I took her little hand and went 'Is this your little one?'
There's no way I would have entrusted my children's care to a male.
