How can you forget your child in your car?
The security of every human being is very important. A society that seems to be threatening that vital aspect then need to be warned of the consequences that might follow. Children are no longer having the same freedom in France as before. There are beginning to be victims of unwanted death that they never envisaged.
Several weeks ago, precisely 15th July, in Pont-de-Chéruy, the French Alps, a Pharmacist ‘mistakenly’ forgot his toddler, two-and-half-year-old son in his car while he went off to witness an accident that got him distracted. Thus the poor girl died of heat exhaustion.
The case of three-year-old Zoe was another horrible one. Hers was barely few days after that of the Pharmacist daughter. On the 22th of July, in the city of Chalon-sur-Saône, Zoe left the house that fateful morning in the company of her five-year-old brother and their father.
What a fate! Zoe never return home that day. She died of heat exhaustion and dehydration, the cause of her father’s ‘mistake’. The Father, a manager in a company, deposited the boy at the Daycare centre. Afterward, he went straight to his office and forgot to drop off Zoe at her registered child minder where she usually went three days a week.
He even skipped his lunch, staying inside his office all day long. From 9am until 4:30pm, Zoe was trapped in the car under the terrible heat. She might have cried and cried for help, willing to be free to survive. No help came. Poor child, she finally gave up. Her Father discovered his error when he went to pick up his son.
Too late! Zoe was long dead!
Both fathers made mistake. Fatal mistake that cost them the lives of those innocent children. Cases as these are becoming a threat today. A woman foolishly left her baby strapped at the back of car while she ran into a supermarket to purchase a product. Another car owner noticed the child weeping and raised alarm. She was lucky to escape the penalty from the law.
I wondered what hindered her from going along with the baby? Definitely she would gave her excuse for such act but is that tangible enough to pay for the life of her child if terrible thing had happened? What can we say is the growing problem with adults in our society?
This is not just happening with parents. Today, strangers derive ultimate pleasure when attacking mere kids.

Valentin was a eleven-year-old handsome boy who never thought anybody could harm him. However on the 28th July in Langieu (Ain) city, Poor Valentin was murdered after receiving 40 knife-cuts from 39-year-old Stéphane Moitoiret, his killer.
Right now, Stéphane is serving his jail term but that will that brings back Valentin?
Will that heals the agonising pain and loss the boy’s mother suffers now? Will she be able to smile again if she remembers this incident that took away her lovely son?
Who can tell of some other children suffering in silent, being warned by their oppressors not to disclose?
What can we do to ensure the safety of our little ones?
The shift from attacking adults to innocents children these days now called for serious action. We must not overlook the need to apply maximum measure to protect our little ones.
This call for action is not restricted to France but to the entire world.
· Watch out for any mistake that will cause you to forget your child or any body in the heat of your car.
· When you go out, keep watch on your children. Let them stay close to you. Do not think of leaving them even for few minutes all alone on their own.
· Be attentive while with them in the street, or any public place.
· Warn them of receiving gifts from strangers. Children can be funny sometimes. As Parents or Guardian, you have the duty to ring this warning into their heads.
· Pay deep notice to the friends your child move with.
· Talk to your child. It is very important to let a child knows what security means.
In conclusion, centred your priority around your children. They are your responsibility. You have them based on your decision to become a Parent. Therefore, give them the best of your time.
Cheers!
