  1. Can’t judge …. Because no parent who loves and cares for their child would purposely do this …. I feel this so deep..my prayers are with the family and my condolences sigh πŸ˜”

    1. @DiManhimselff im with you under no circumstances no parents should never forget about there child at that age no matter what ? you know what matter they are cop as i say they are cop. Pow Pow

    2. That’s what I’ve been saying it’s tragic and sad but I believe this was never intentiona and I don’t see the need for a psychological take but people a crucify me fi shut up cause the Father careless smh don’t even pay them nuh mind because I understand life quite well and I know that as humans we are prone to making detrimental mistakes such as this I feel it for the parents but gosh mi miss the baby like a my own smh.

    3. @DiManhimselff by this thinking no one should have sympathy towards you I feel it for the parents but more for the child. Smdh we are all humans and I cannot imagine what the parents are going through especially the Father I hope this doesn’t lead to resentment from the Mother.

    4. @Bobby Gary ok mr or mrs self righteous I hope you make it to heaven if you believe in God because the Father didn’t intentionally do this according to reports and it’s not the first something like this have happened, it’s life we live and we learn.

  2. People can be so visious. Anyone can forget a kid. Let’s not be so quick to judge. How many of y’all forget your kids at school

    1. How many of you forget to bathe, how many of you forget to brush your teeth πŸͺ₯, how many of you forget to check if you get pay πŸ’°πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ, call it what it is negligence from a daft person πŸ‘ˆπŸΌ

    2. Honestly, I agree with you. The level of judgment from other people is upsetting for me. Being so judgemental creates illnesses we can’t see due to low energy that this state of being resonates at.

      For those who completely disagree with me, that’s okay. Look up the “Map of Consciousness” and see where judgement lies on the energy scale.

      Sending love same wayβ™₯️

    3. @Ahmahkyah Nunya hey to how upset I am me woulda fight all of them with how self righteous their behaving. On a serious note though I’m not surprised because according to statistics about 61% of the population is uneducated/undereducated so I’m not appalled by their lack of reasoning and comprehension on the matter. The media is making it even worse as they’ll do anything to remain relevant but I truly believe it was a mistake and only God alone can possibly reveal to me that it was intentional.

  3. If it was me it would be neglected baby syndrome. The forgotten baby syndrome is real but only recognized for the privileged.

    1. So true if it’s was a common person it would be different not saying the father did it on purpose but the law shouldn’t change to deal with different people it should be the same for everyone

    2. Yes that would be so true but now the news media is now bringing this to light. Its been around longtime

  4. To the person reading this: Even tho I dont know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offerπŸŒ πŸ™

  5. This is sad. I feel it for the dad, mom and family. The man is over worked, he totally forgot and that’s understandable because he’s a human being. You say never , when you’re not in the situation. Until you fall in similar situation , you say otherwise .I use this medium to bekon to parents with babies or children to always crack the window, situation may vary and discretion as well.

    1. That’s what I’ve been saying it’s tragic and sad but I believe this was never intentiona and I don’t see the need for a psychological take but people a crucify me fi shut up cause the Father careless smh don’t even pay them nuh mind because I understand life quite well and I know that as humans we are prone to making detrimental mistakes such as this I feel it for the parents but gosh mi miss the baby like a my own smh.

  6. And for normal civilians it’s called “Carelessness” there should be no reason in existence for anyone to leave a damn child locked up in a car. None!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. @Andre Jerome no I’m not thank you I’ve heard and listened to the news I’m giving my take on the persons comment. So let me ask you back the question are you stupid? My comment is valid as I can choose to give my take on anything publicized on the internet.

    2. @debbicka Ebanks yeah I agree but why not be so critical all the time with deliberate carelessness. This was carelessness and negligence I agree but I don’t believe it was intentional so I have sympathy for the parents but I am touched by the passing of the child. Ms Ebanks please be logical and stop being self righteous we are humans and we at times make some mistakes that have some detrimental outcomes hence this big uproar. I’ve seen on countless times where children are forgotten by parents at school, and even in public places. I also might agree that they might not have left their phone, wallet, dog or whatever vanity item you may name but life is like that it humbles us and brings us to our knees. I’m not trying to get you to agree with me but I’m given my fair and concise view.

  7. Really now, I wonder if it was another person that did this would have the so called ” Forgotten syndrome” or just go to prison? FOOLISHNESS!

    1. @Kayon Montaque yup , this (police man ) gets a get out of jail medical term πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ€”

    2. By this thinking this way no one should have sympathy towards you I feel it for the parents but more for the child. Smdh we are all humans and I cannot imagine what the parents are going through especially the Father I hope this doesn’t lead to resentment from the Mother.

  8. People pleas don’t think negative in this case. Don’t try to find out the negative reasons why he did it ,as for my I think he genuinely made this mistake it could be a case where it is not a regular routine for him. I feel the pain they both going through. I pray god will help they through.

  9. This has happened to me. So I know this to be true. I left my daughter in the car after driving home many years ago. Thankfully the outcome was different.
    Condolences to the families.

    1. I had a coworker who took her kids to the supermarket left them playing on a kid horse and she went home after leaving the supermarket and it was then she remembered the kids and went back for them and they were right where she left them

  10. My heart aches for the baby, the parents and their families. Its a HARD BLOW and the parents need support not condemnation. Trust me they are already beating up on themselves so they do not need any further judgement from rest of us. This sort of thing is not easily forgiven by the parents, it is a stain on their minds for life and leaves them open to all sorts of psychological breakdown and risk of suicide and drug abuse. There is no way I will subscribe to the argument that he deliberately left the baby in his car. It was unintentional.

  11. Ten years ago I did the same thing and up until now thinking about it I still can’t come up with an answer. So her dad wash her clothes and leave to go on the road to do something he asked me to hang them on the line outside I was outside hanging out the baby clothes and heard this baby crying.The crying turn to scream and I kept saying to myself why someone don’t look at the baby something must be wrong. I was outside for a good 20min until the baby stop crying when I went inside I went straight to the bathroom. While taking a shower I heard the baby again, crying it’s poor little heart out and not until I went into the bedroom did I realized it was my baby I took up the baby and I cried because I forgot her and it weigh so heavy on me and mind you I had her through c section and she was about 2-3 weeks old….. How could I forget????? Second time I forget to change her my older was 15 and in highschool so she had change her diaper before she went to school but right through the day it’s like I was asking myself if they forget something because I was having that feeling and then I started panicking…..my older came home from school about 3:30 pm and that’s how she discovered that the baby had on the same diaper from morning…. My daughter had to put on all sorts of reminder on my phone paste notes on the dresser the wall fridge etc….MOM REMEMBER THE BABY…. And that’s how I got through.. I was so embarrassed to say it to anyone but up until now I still ask myself how did I forget my baby…. I was 37yrs old at the time
    My heart goes out to the family. RIP LITTLE ANGEL

  12. I can’t believe the heartlessness of some people. How callous? Empathy is what is lacking in Jamaica. We can’t make ourselves imagine how others may feel. It is just judgements, punishment, hurtful and hateful. This is sooo sad on all sides. Think of what it must feel like to be those parents right now. Lord have mercy.

    1. That’s what I’ve been saying it’s tragic and sad but I believe this was never intentiona and I don’t see the need for a psychological take but people a crucify me fi shut up cause the Father careless smh don’t even pay them nuh mind because I understand life quite well and I know that as humans we are prone to making detrimental mistakes such as this I feel it for the parents but gosh mi miss the baby like a my own smh.

  13. Especially when it wasn’t his duty to always take the child to the daycare. My deepest sympathy to my neighbors.

  14. A few years ago a manager told me she left work went home for hours and forgot to pick her child up from Daycare. She said she felt ashamed, guilty and felt like she was a bad mother and struggled with forgetting her child. Some incidents like this one is more tragic. Really, really sad.

  15. My heart goes out to him and his wife but I can’t help wonder, why didn’t the daycare call to say the child didn’t show? Anytime my son missed a day at his daycare, I would get a call to confirm his absence. Of course this can happen to anyone at any time but little things like this in place can help.

  16. Reading some of these comments tears me to the core. People are so heartless, Jamaicans lack empathy. I’m a mother of 4 and I love my children world without end. I too forgot my baby at home and left for work bcaz of some traumatic news I got that had my mind in a mess. It was my 4 years old daughter who asked me where was the baby ! Life happens

    1. Tell these people for me it happens and it doesn’t makes you less of a parent as we are humans and we are prone to making these kind of detrimental mistakes that sometimes prove to be costly.
