It could just happen
Just as a person could forget anything else, they could forget a child. It's unfortunate, but it does happen. What if the child had fallen off to sleep and was very quiet. Maybe her grandfather was preoccupied/stressed about other things. Never looks back in the car....never thinks twice about not having had dropped her off. Off to work he goes.
I have known of several parents who were preoccupied and have driven to work to only realize their children are in the car with them and they are miles from the babysitter where the child should've been dropped off. We are ALL imperfect people.
In this incident you can blame the grandfather, but I am sure he blames himself far more than we can ever imagine. No one wants to see their grandchild hurt....and definitely not at their hands.
Not to place blame elsewhere, but how come the babysitter never checked to see why the child never arrived? how come this child was not in a car seat if this is the car she rides in every morning?
While this is a tragedy, it was also apparently an accident. It is the intentional atrocities that are not only unforgiveable but an abomination.
