Left her child in a car while at work? What were the circumstances? Isn't this something we are always warned about?

Oh my. Not only is this terribly tragic for all it affects...but it has legal ramifications also.
 In Florida it's against the law. )Though I'm sure she forgot her by accident.)Sometimes it's enough to let them know we are thinking of them, and care. ((((Gracey)))) take care of yourself.

Gracey I googeled counselor leaving baby in car and it came up in ciccanatti ohio. They have a 3yr old son as well. My Prayers are with you as well as them. I have a 17 month old girl and 4 1/2 yr old son I can't imagine how tragic it would be. Accidents happen. I feel so sorry for the Mom because mommy guilt kicks in and eats you away!

If it is the story that I heard about on the news today or not, I am so sorry. I have a little one, as do we all probably. Seeing it on the news made me break down right then, needless to say I went straight to my daughters daycare and picked her up so i could give her a hug. I will keep you in my prayers and hopefully take comfort in the fact that this was probably a very grave mistake.

I knew her little ones. . .both of them.
Yesterday, she and I emailed back and forth, laughing over such trivial things while her little girl was in that van. I'm stuck on that. I know I couldn't have known, but there's this awful guilt still. The media is tearing her alive and it is killing me.

Gracey, You had no way of knowing! If you feel guilt imagine her guilt!!!! It is something she has to live with for ever. Once again I am so sorry for this awful mistake.

That is terrible. Of course you didn't know. When this happens it is always such an incredible loss, and I don't know how life could ever be the same again. Being so close to the situation, are you going to be okay? Do you have support for yourself? I would imagine your counselor might be less available for a while with what she has to deal with.

How does that happen? I mean even if you thought you'd drop the child off at the sitter, wouldnt you have phone contact during the day? Perhaps less prayers and more geniune care for our kids would be better?

Mouse, not everyone has contact during the day with their sitter. The kind of job that I have, I'm not allowed to bring my cell into work. I'm not allowed to make or receive calls that aren't pertaining to my work unless an absolute DIRE emergency. So no, the odds are good she wouldn't have had contact during the day.
Genuine care for our kids - this woman is a good mother who made a tragic mistake. She was overworked, had a change in schedule, and I'm willing to bet something else happened or was going on that would have driven her to forget this beautiful little girl was in the van with her. For the record. . .I didn't start the thread to open this situation up to debate. If that's what some people want to do, that's understandable, but this isn't the place for it. Start your own thread. This thread is about how my T, my advisor, and my friend lost her daughter and the reaction that I'm having to it as it pertains to that relationship.
