Stories like this one are a good reminder to parents that it's never OK to leave kids alone in the car.

It should be a reminder that people shouldn't leave any living being alone in a car in the heat, be it baby, elderly, or animal.

Never,never, never - no matter how big a pain in the ass it is - NEVER leave the kids in the car.

I hate to think of the way that poor child suffered . . .

That's exactly why it's not newsworthy.
