Unfortunately, this type of thing is not all that uncommon. A few years ago, some kids died in a hot car, while the "adults" went wandering in the woods, with another one of the kids, looking for mushrooms to eat. It takes a certified idiot to achieve this amount of stupidity. The "adults" even ended up being hospitalized for eating poison mushrooms! Weren't we all issued a brain during our 9 month stay in the womb?

A kid around here was lost for a few days, when he was left asleep in a truck, and had woken up and wandered off. His dad had gone hunting and didn't want to disturb "junior", by waking him up. He just left the kid alone in a truck in the woods. The kid was found okay. He was lucky not to have been shot. How about a baby-sitter next time?

It's not surprising that so many dogs die of overheating and neglect. So many people seem don't even seem have any common sense when it comes to their children. Argh, It's frustrating!
