Condolences to this child's family. After reading most of the comments here , it has triggered a few more questions of the possible scenarios, one reader mentioned that the grandfather should check his blood sugar levels as if it is high ican cause him to be forgetful etc......This made me think, is the grandfather suffering from early stages of Alzheimers? Has a full autopsy been completed as to determine an approxiamate time of death? This came to mind as one reader put it, that it was impossible to have a chikd in the car driving that distance and the child not making a noise for the entire journey to make the Grandfather constantly awarenof the fact that the child was in the car. Reading this comment made me think. Did the child suffer an unexplained infant 'cot death'even during grandpa's journey. If the child had an unknown mild infection this could also be a factor. Chances are that the child could have been dead even before grandpa reached his destination. Meaning, even if grandpa didn't forget to drop child off, let's say reached his destination, then reached to the back of the car to take out his grandchild out of the car seat ,chances are that he may have already been dead. .
Sticking to the assumption that the child was alive all through the journey to grandpa's job ( who forgot he was in the vehicle)!and lets say the child was still alive when the car was parked, what about passers by near where car was parked. Didn't any members of the public see a child sitting alone unattended in a car park?
I live in Uk and one day i pulled up in a neighbourhood to visit a friend, a car pulled up one the opposite side z, and i believe a man got out with a child, i can't remember if there was a mother there as well. My car was parked in a more convenient position which was more suited to that famly with a young child. Before i knew it the man and possibly a female occupant left the car, with bags etc. whilst i was getting my own stuff out my car, i got out only to realize that the child was left in the car by himself. I waited to see if anyone was going to come back for the child. I hadn't seen which house the driver went into. Somi got outnof the car quickly greeted my friend and said to her, i was concerned about a child who was left in a car unattended . I dropped my shopping in her house and went back and stood up waiting to see if anyone would. After a while, (could have beeen 5 mims or less a man eventually returned. I didn't accuse him right away, the first thinf i said to him was , would it be easier if i moved my car so he can get my parking space, so it will be easier for him to have easy access to bring the child into the house from car to building seeing it appeared the man had some bags as well. He said it was alright, but i insisted. When he refused i relised that he didn't plsn on staying for a prolonged period. That was when i told hime off, Firstly that it wasn't safe and thate the child could become ill being left in a car with windows rolled up, and secondly that his chold could be snatched. I saud to him never do that agin. The guy was quite casual about the incident, whilst i was worked up about it, he was relaxed etc. for the next hour it bothered me how casual he was , but i however felt so troubled and uncomfortable about i just witnessed.. What i'm saying is even just a few minutes tinan adukt would seem eternity to a child. This child in question was sleeping in his car seat , but could have woken up. If the person did not return within a reasonable period and would have phoned the police.
Would i have attempted to get the child out of the car? That's another question, if i had , the cctv camera would have shown me trying to open the car and i would have probably been procecuted. Who knows?
Again i ask the question in this scenario where the child actually die?Did passersby see the child and thought ' mind my own business'? The child may have aspyxiated, etc.

The story is very sad, so many questions. We live in such a fast paced world, with so many distractions, gadgets vying for our attention. The people making accusations against the grandad, are some of the same people that perhaps drive whilst talking/ texting on their cell phones. Possibly endangering themselves and other drivers/pedestrians.

Some of the bloggers here possibly drive recklessly jumping red lights, so they could reach their destination faster. Driving in excess of the speed limit etc etc.
I believe the grandad is still in shock and will have tolive with the consequences of his actions/inactions.
It's not an uncommon occurance in places like America. It still happens frequently enough, sad to to say.
I still say grand pa couldn't have een just distracted, chances are he is early stages of an illness. Having said that everything is always in hindsight.

And you are perfect and without sin one would have to assume! They are still someone's mother whatever their sins short comings and deserve a Happy Mother's day!! Plesae share your accomplishments!!! Let he that is wothout sin cast the first stone!!!!

WoW! I'm really impressed with this remarkable lady's story! In fact her then fiance is really a true man to stick by her side. I have to say she has found one in a possible million or millions of men who would actually be faithful to his love for her. Just think some men may get upset if a woman gains weight etc!!!!!!!! Hats off to her for being such a fighter!!!!!!!! and being so strong! You go GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must be living on another planet, but didn't know that beauty pageants still existed............

Well done guys!!!!!

The trouble with this tragic story is that, no lessons will be learnt from this. Coming from a club, most probably the driver was drunk and driving. Secondly, we have irresponsible parents allowing their lovey beautiful intelligent daughters out so late in the night to go to a club for 'fun'.
Well where is the fun now. Thing is that even if you have strict parents, they could have gone out still anyway. Any which way you put it, it sadly seems that apart from people obviously needing to drive at the designated driving limit, and ensuring that they drive sober, Sad to say these girls were doomed to die.
Many Many more young children such as these will continue to die unless people with ignorant attitudes feel like they have to drive fast to impress the young ladies or just because they are driving a fancy car, that people have tuh see what 'D' car could do.
And with most young girls having the long time saying, 'GAS Brains' , for those who forget this ole time saying,' liking people who have nice car an' want tuh drive in it.') , Unfortunately this will continue to happen.
I bet if any young girl now are given a choice a lift to 'D' club in a fast shiny car as opposed to a slower old car with probably an older safer driver, I'm sure each time young people will choose the former. It's just the way young people on the whole think. Nothing new there.

All this talk of losing control of a vehicle, is just because the driver was driving too fast, most likely under the influence of alcohol. These drivers if they survive should be arrested and jailed for manslaughter at the very least. That's what it will take for irresponsible drivers to stop playing the ape when the driver is trying to impress the young ladies out there.
I could just imagine the 'bawling' that will take place at this funeral of these beautiful, promising students. They have left behind I'm sure, very loving parents/guardians, other siblings, cousins, friends, teachers, grandparents.
The list is endless, parents having to bury their children is no joke, it's a very gut wrenching experience which no one will want to experience , however unfortunately, seconds after the accident, passersby, would have viewed the accident and continued, on their own wreckless journey, stupid;y saying to themselves, 'That cyah happen tuh meh, like that man cyah drive ah what! :( So very sad, NO LESSONS WOULD BE LEARNT, WHICH IS WHAT IS GOING TO BE EVEN MORE UNFORTUNATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So very true........

This article has a beginning but no middle, and only one sentence signifying an end. Poorly pointlessly written story.

Wish parents and babies all the best! it's a long long road. But well done to the entire team so far! :)

Are there sufficient Neonatal Intensive care cots and specialized staff for round the clock until these babies are at lest close to term or until they weigh at least 1.2 -1.4kgs? Are there sufficient incubators ventilators ,artificial surfactant to administer,which is at least £400-600 a pop! Unless these babies are born at least 32-33 weeks gestation it's going to be difficult. They can survive if they are born at 24 weeks but only with very specialist care. . I wonder what gestation they'll be on March 14th? If the mom wanted to keep all 6 babies then she should have planned to give birth in the US or Europe. She will have some surviving babies, but the care for them developmentally will be astronomical.
On that day ,provided they survive the c section she'll need 6 qualified intensive care nurses and a doctor at each bed space, 6 resuscitaires and the list goes on and on. Also doctors who can successfully intubated babies below 30 week preferably at the first attempt.. They should be delivered into plastic a bag each feet first, up to the neck keeping them warm. it they manage to be able to breathe on their own then fine, even so they will tire easily and will need respiratory support, hourly observations etc etc..I can go on and on since this is what I do everyday. If planned well it can be a joy if not.......... I believe the skill is there but the caring side , not so sure.!
