(October 11, 2008)—Foul play isn’t suspected in the death of a 7-month-old girl whose grandfather left her in the backseat of his car for more than five hours while he was at work at a Houston elementary school.
Houston police Sgt. Robert Odom said the case will be referred to a Harris County grand jury without charges.
Odom said the man was supposed to take the baby to a daycare center, but evidently forgot his granddaughter was in his vehicle.
Highs on Friday reached into the 80s in the Houston area.

The idea of the bells and whistles to alert you that someone is in the backseat is fine but in the mean time people need to be more alert when it comes to children being left in a vehicle. I have two infant nieces and the way I have them positioned in the back seat I do not see how I could not see them when I get out. If I have one I position her seat in the middle of the back seat. Even looking in the rear veer mirror while driving I can see her car seat. If I have both I still have one in the middle and the other one to the right or left backseat. I am sorry for the grandfather and other family members who have been in this situation but I just can't for life of me see how you can forget a child in the car.

People in this world are going so fast and furious trying to make a "buck." Try to slow down and smell the roses. As for me, I could not ever "forget" I had a grandchild in the back seat of my vehicle!
