Animal lover supreme, journalist Liz Jones, left her collies in a hot car a few years back because SHE wanted to go to the spa and doesn't feel she can leave them home alone as they wreck stuff and she refuses to train them. Got away with it scott free and reckons it was okay anyway as she'd cracked open a window.Time after time after time this happens - with small children, with dogs . . . FFS! Why do people never learn?
Even on a cool day no-one should leave an infant in a car - what if someone steals it? What if someone crashes into it? What If the baby is sick and chokes? Or just wakes up and is frightened?
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!
Liz Jones is a whiney, self-obsessed, talentless POS - how the hell she manages to be a "journalist" is beyond me.Animal lover supreme, journalist Liz Jones, left her collies in a hot car a few years back because SHE wanted to go to the spa and doesn't feel she can leave them home alone as they wreck stuff and she refuses to train them.

I think penalties for this just aren't severe enough, hence the ongoing problem.
Horrified not horrifoedJust listened to the first episode of The Trial podcast by Daily Mail, covering the Holly Willoughby kidnap plot trial. I am utterly HORRIFOED by what I have heard! It is so scary, her world must have been turned upside down when she was told the details.
I hate that so many people were mocking her and saying things that she’s exaggerating. Saw some of it in the celebrity threads here. What that man wanted to do to her makes me sick.Just listened to the first episode of The Trial podcast by Daily Mail, covering the Holly Willoughby kidnap plot trial.

There was a case years ago of a police dog handler who left 2 police dogs in a car. He got a warning. He did it again and was banned from keeping animals. His wife was a dog handler too so he had to move out. He then killed himself.Animal lover supreme, journalist Liz Jones, left her collies in a hot car a few years back because SHE wanted to go to the spa and doesn't feel she can leave them home alone as they wreck stuff and she refuses to train them.

I have no sympathy.There was a case years ago of a police dog handler who left 2 police dogs in a car. He got a warning. He did it again and was banned from keeping animals. His wife was a dog handler too so he had to move out. He then killed himself.
We've had so many cases of that here in the US where I live. I do feel for the parent who "forgot" about the baby, but at the same time, how could you possibly forget?? There have also been many cases of School bus and van drivers doing the same thing. They are supposed to walk through and do a check to make sure no one is left behind. As a parent, wouldn't you double check? I just don't understand how this can happen. So heartbreaking!There was an awful case of a baby girl in Ireland dying in a hot car because the dad forgot she was there. The story went away pretty quickly though as the community closed the book to the press and rallied round the parents.
I don't think he died (unless it was much later). It went to court after the suicide attempt. That's if we're thinking of the same one (2011).There was a case years ago of a police dog handler who left 2 police dogs in a car. He got a warning.

there’s an incredible washington post article about this topic (which won the pulitzer prize) which i cannot find online without it being behind a paywall but it’s called “fatal distraction” - it follows several families who have had this happen to them, though the majority if i remember were parents who just went on autopilot and drove to work thinking they’d dropped the child (usually asleep in the back) off at daycare or whatever when they hadn’t.We've had so many cases of that here in the US where I live.

My dad has lost me/forgotten about me numerous times. He left me waiting an hour odd after school and I didn't have a mobile so just had to stand there lol. Apparently when I was 3 he lost me in Portugal as he was talking to someone and I wandered off. Luckily one of the hotel staff found me and took me back there. I guess I was very lucky.My mum tells a story about back in days when you had big prams that you couldn't take into shops.
Apparently my dad took me out to give my mum a rest - parked me in the pram outside woolworths, went in, came out a different door and got home without me.
This being the 60s, when they got back to Woolies, I was there he'd left me!!!
No wonder I've got issues!!!
I can't understand parking your car outside your home, and then for HOURS not noticing that your TINY 2 month old baby wasn't in the house.there’s an incredible washington post article about this topic (which won the pulitzer prize) which i cannot find online without it being behind a paywall but it’s called “fatal distraction” - it follows several families who have had this happen to them, though the majority if i remember were parents who just went on autopilot and drove to work thinking they’d dropped the child (usually asleep in the back) off at daycare or whatever when they hadn’t.
i’ve heard women in work lightly joke about it sometimes. one left her mum’s house without the baby, one almost put a trolley back in tesco with baby still in it etc - i suppose it can be done if you’re an exhausted parent, the day is busy, you’re just rushing through the routine of what you would usually do and your brain convinced yourself that yes you did drop them off at nursery or yes you did bring them into the house. it’s absolutely tragic and as a parent i don’t know how you could come to terms with it having happened.
I know of at least 3 people who were left outside shops (one outside a pub) as babies in the 60s/70s and their mum/dad forgot them and went home.I can't understand parking your car outside your home, and then for HOURS not noticing that your TINY 2 month old baby wasn't in the house.
Did no-one think to look in on her? Did they not have a bedroom camera to keep an eye on her in case she got distressed or was sick?
I can understand the Irish guy much more easily than someone who is home, leaves the baby in the car, puts the kettle on and it slips their mind to get baby out straight away - but how is it several hours before you think "Hang on - where's the little'n?"
Tiny babies like that, you check, plus they need frequent feeding at that age, so how the heck have they missed her, poor little thing?
Diddums. At least now he can't get near anymore animals, legally or otherwise.There was a case years ago of a police dog handler who left 2 police dogs in a car. He got a warning. He did it again and was banned from keeping animals. His wife was a dog handler too so he had to move out. He then killed himself.
Wow, I'm surprised she was still driving after that if she had a seizure. I thought your license was taken away in that situationUpdate on the Wimbledon school car crash
