I cannot believe that this is still happening. People should know better. It is just sheer laziness and the child is the one that suffers.

Seriously!!!!! Is this a kind of a bad joke?! It is very hard to believe because it is happening too often at the moment. I think the law should be much worst for a parent who doesn’t have a “brain” and leave a child in a car. This should be treated the same as trying to kill someone.

Hard to believe this still happens when there’s been so much awareness raising about the dangers.

Oh no, not another one! When will people learn! And the dad was visiting someone!! Shame on you dad! Children and pets should not, under any circumstance, be left in cars on sunny days. Never! Ever!

can you believe this rubbish? Why not take the child into the hospital, and how bloody stupid is the Dad?

  yeah take the child into the air-con

I seriously don’t understand why this happens. I’m glad he was rescued

Another one, and so soon after the poor Perth youngster! I hope this little boy will be all right. I am in the habit of leaving my handbag on the floor under the booster seat whenever we go anywhere.

When will people learn???? It seems there need to be an invention that if there is enough movement or weight on the rear seat that it sounds an alarm when the car is locked. I don’t know how it would work because of the variation of weight of baby equipment and light weight of young babies.
Whoever successfully invents a method to stop this sad event happening deserves plenty of recognition and rewards.

  That’s a good idea – haven’t heard that one before.

Why is this happening more and more?!! That poor little boy 🙁

I will never understand people doing this. They should also be forced to sit in a car for over an hour on a 40 degree day.

What’s it going to take to stop this from happening? Fines, jail, community service, shaming? I know, lock the parent up in a car on a hot day for an hour – maybe some empathy might work.

Not again! I don’t know how you even forget about a child in the car. Poor little one

I am sick of seeing these stories. What the heck is wrong with these parents? There is absolutely no excuse for this.

Time and time again this happens. I really don’t know what goes through peoples heads when they do something like this. I wouldn’t leave my dog in my car on a hot day let alone my children.
The father should definitely be fined and placed on a parenting course too.

there is no call for this & you can’t legislate against stupid. it is time that the laws were changed to make this offence jail time &/or &5000 fine. time to hit them where it hurts most

5000!!!!! How can the numbers be so high.

When the hell will they learn? How many kids have to do!!!!

I can’t believe there are still parents doing this!!

Really your children don’t mean as much as you? Well guess what they mean more STOP leaving your children in your car. You don’t want children simple don’t open your legs..children don’t deserve to be left like this. I’m so glad the little boy is good thank you to the nurse and emergency services.

Why does this keep happening!!?? Glad to read the child was rescued AND that prosecutions are being made. Repeats of this type of action are not ok.
