Texas boy, 3, dies in mom's overheated truck
Woman said she forgot to drop son at day care before working hospital shift
15 August 2008
HOUSTON - A 3-year-old boy was left in his mother's truck in 90-degree heat as she worked her shift at a hospital, then wriggled free from his car seat and even tried to start the ignition or open the windows before he died, officials said.
The mother of Cameron Thomas Boone told investigators she forgot to drop him off at day care. She returned to the truck about nine hours later to find him unconscious Thursday.
The woman broke the back windshield and called for help, but the boy was dead when she took him to North Cypress Medical Center, where she worked, Sheriff's Lt. John Denholm said. A key the child had put in the ignition automatically locked the doors, so the woman had to use a rock to break in, officials said.
Security guards were patrolling the lot, but the truck had tinted windows and it was difficult to see inside, Denholm said.
The sheriff's office would not identify the mother or disclose her position at the hospital. Calls to the hospital were not returned Friday.
No charges have been filed.
Commentary
Some people either do not think of the consequences of there actions or just pure neglect, which in the above case is more in line of child abuse.
There is also some people that in our modern times, that do not also think of the repercussions of there actions, either so they get the do not care attitude. This is why in certain parts of the world, they have very strict laws towards certain crimes, kind of like; one doesn’t wish to do this crime; if one will get hanged for it.
Then something I happened upon earlier, reading a different news story, that there is some cases where it is easier for a person to yell for help, when instead they need too think and help themselves to better there situation; especially those who blame others for there plight; while they sit on there hands, do nothing and complain.
The greatest achievements in life, came about by people taking the intuitive to just go and do it or make something better; too making a change for the better.
