9-month-old dead after being found strapped into safety seat by grandmother in hot car for 8 hours

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

It’s stories like this that scare my adhd ass from having kids

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

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.

8 hours in a hot car in Texas sounds like a recipe for a brisket. That’s just awful. I always assume it’s an accident and not negligence until I hear otherwise, but there needs to be better safety systems for this. Either teaching new parents personal systems or built into cars.

Modern cars often have specific safety features for this, but it’s probably with older models that it happens most often.

Yeah, my 2023 beeps and says “check back seat” when you turn off the car if you’ve opened the back door before you started the car.

My parents Volvo has a similar feature. I don’t know if it’s related to the doors or if there are pressure sensors in the back seat.

The downside is that goddamn thing is so over engineered that it gives dings and warnings for everything so after a short time they become white noise

For a while, and it might still be there, Waze had an option to add a pop-up to check the back seat for kids after a drive was done. Knowing I had a backup gave me peace of mind.

You’re not that off with the brisket comment. On the really hot days here in Texas you can take a cookie sheet, buy a pack of break and bake cookie dough, put the dough on the cookie sheet, leave it on your dash board and go to work.

When you get out you have a dozen fresh soft baked cookies and your car smells amazing 😁

They have detection systems to make sure our keys don’t allow us to lock the car. It wouldn’t be that tough to find a way. We just need to complain to our reps.
