This is ridiculous! She didnt go in and put the baby to bed? See if she needed a bath and bottle?? Make sure nothing was going to suffocate her?? How do u NOT notice your baby is NOT in the house?? These ppl are terrible parents!...

Who doesn't say goodnight to their kids? Especially a baby?

So the father couldn't even see his own child strapped into the car seat because he was intoxicated? Yet they managed to make it home after partying? So sad to see another young life lost because of a parents senseless negligence.

there shouldn’t be no reminders about not leaving the baby in the car if you truly care for
your baby that should be the first priority..I remember when I had my babies i would take the car seat down even to put gas

Why did he assumed she was inside when he was told to bring her in. Just because the doors were closed it doesn't mean he couldn't have look through the window to make sure she wasn't in the car.
