Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Apr 12, 2012 Well, there have been a number of cases in the US, where a father forgot his baby in the baby seat of the car and let him/her there for hours in hot or very cold weather - several times with fatal outcome. Also, more than once, mothers "forgot" that they had put the baby in the baby seat ON TOP of the car and drove away (baby going flying).
off the trail “Jody” Level 7 Since: Apr 09 12,826 Location hidden	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Apr 12, 2012 The article left off before telling exactly why this turned ugly. What happened to the girl? If she survived, I bet this was her last request for trunk riding. But, Gramps was short a few circuits,.. it's not safe for anyone to ride in a car trunk. Exhaust fumes kill.

Bubbletoes “Pompous pontificator” Level 4 Since: Jun 08 1,679 Location hidden	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #8 Apr 13, 2012 Pop-pop was just having a 'senior moment'. Grand-kids (the lucky ones) forge a special bond with their grandparents unlike the relationship with their parents. This was just one of those playful stunts that could happen to any of us 'grands'. Still, Pop-pop better start taking his Ginkgo biloba.
