    Till this day I don’t know how you can leave a child in the car. There is so much news about this. Theres even commercials that tell you what to do to avoid this kind of drama. God rest this child’s Soul. Angels that go away too young. Please leave something on the rear seat with your child that you need to take down before heading indoors. Its a tragedy and I feel bad for the love ones.

    My prayers go out for the mother and family of this child. This is a child of God and he is now in the presence of the Lord. I’m sorry for your loss and may God give you strength to keep going in life. I know this is enough to make any mother go crazy or lose the will to live, but God will reunite her with her baby one day. R.I.P.
