Based on my reading of your blog for several years, it appears you are one of the most attentive parents I know--so attentive to educate them yourself. That's a sacrifice few make ...<br /><br />Again, I won't attempt to take myself off the hook here with my prior accostive message. Your response was well measured--and I get your point.<br /><br />Regards to the C's,<br /><br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-8114204610376011292010-08-11T15:58:01.811-04:002010-08-11T15:58:01.811-04:00So sorry to hear about your nephew.So sorry to hear about your nephew.CaptiousNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440029537418230507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-37787332426027474292010-08-11T15:54:23.369-04:002010-08-11T15:54:23.369-04:00My story is somewhat different situation than your...My story is somewhat different situation than your post but after going thru this it has changes my perspective on kids in cars. My 5 year old nephew climbed in an unlocked car in August of 2008. He was walking about 200 feet from the shop where his dad worked over to the house were his mom was with the other kids and stopped to get into and check out a new car his uncle bought. He was only in it about 20 minutes before someone found him. He had already died from the heat. Needless to say my car is always locked now. Ain't no kid climbing in it on a summer day. He was tired, it was in the afternoon. He probably fell asleep and his body just shut down. If I would see an unattended kid in a car first thing I'd do is check if the a/c is on and if not I would be breaking windows. <br />So the story is not total alarmism.jznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-5721118493599479242010-08-11T08:01:50.064-04:002010-08-11T08:01:50.064-04:00Dan,

I'm a real hawk who's constantly receiving *remarks* from other family members to "ease up".<br /><br />When my daughter was *submerged*....I was right there, only about 15 feet away, facing her. I was just caught up in a stupid conversation for an instant. That could happen to anyone - and has, ask around.<br /><br />Put it this way, I don't send my kids to school/daycare or use babysitters/nannies. So compared to 98% of others, I am necessarily watching my kids a whole lot more closely than most everyone else. There's no comparison, really.CaptiousNuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440029537418230507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336670.post-59041427853250457672010-08-10T23:02:15.444-04:002010-08-10T23:02:15.444-04:00C:

I don't have kids and therefore cannot criticize parents of any capability. I do think your mindful readers might see some incongruity and might want a response from you. <br /><br />DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
