Very sad case, like everyone is saying, how could you forget a 2 year old, they normally make lots of noise, well mine does!!

The parents have 7 children and â€œIt appears at this stage there is no criminality involved,â€

Even if they were charged, eswife, the justice system would fail in some way. I do sincerely hope that DOCS or whoever is the 'current' label make sure the rest of the children aren't at risk in future.

As my friend said, leave the parents in the car for two hours, and let them out just before they're about to lose consciousness. They'd soon learn how friggen hot it can get inside in weather like we're having.

According to the news on TV the parents left home to pick up another child and asked their other children at home to check on the toddler.

They did after an hour but couldn't wake the poor little tike up...by this time it was obviously too late.

Absolute Tragedy
