Just Heartbroken

I am so sorry for the family of the little boy that passed away on Monday. I cannot comment on specifically on this child's passing other than to say how sorry I am for them. 
But in general, with 40 children dying a year from being left in cars -Parents, please, if you are feeling very stressed or rushed ask for help. No child should ever be left in a car for any reason for any length of time in any temperature.  Please seek help if you are feeling overwhelmed, rushed, depressed or out of sorts before leaving with your children. Call family, a trusted neighbor, a friend, your faith/church family, but don't leave your children in the car. If you're thinking of doing this just stay home; anything else can wait.
