Our community recently suffered a tragic loss when two young boys, brother's age 9 and 11, were found dead of heat exhaustion in the trunk of their mother's car. The boy's had been playing, and became trapped. The car manufactured before 2000, did not have a safety latch. Please pass the message, so no more young lives are lost to this tragic circumstance.

Sorry Redyne - Darwin's at work. If their mother was that fUcking stupid, genetics says the kids would have drunk bleach or tested a power socket with their tongues before long.

Now why does their death make the mother stupid?
You sit at the services, and tell me that you don't think it is a tragedy. They say the temperature in the trunk was over 150 degrees in just an hour.

I give. Why I thought that some of the people that I like, who have young children might be interested in this information....

To be honest, there are a million ways to die, often tragic, forgive me if i don't worry about one that has happened so infrequently it make frisbies look dangerous.
Actually close to 100 children a year die from heat exhaustion in car trunks, old freezers, and refriderators. Playing where parents don't know or think to look.

By ages 9 and 11 you should've been taught that playing in some places is dangerous. I think it's safe to say that a car is not a good place to be playing unatended.
That said, it is sad that these children died. Hopefully parents who hear this news can teach their children not to play in or around vehicles.

it is a tragic loss. i feel for you.
1. you need keys to get into the trunk in the first place. how did they get them?
2. i KNOW where my kids are at all times. how did they remain missing for so long?
3. the trunk safety release is only usefull if you know its there and how to use it. chances are, even if the car had one, there is very little chance an 8 or 11 year old kid would have had the insight to look for one, or figure out how to operate it in the pitch back confines of a trunk. probably wouldnt have helped.
their parents failed them. we are stewards of all that God gives us. nothing really belongs to us. not money, not property, not even our own children. we are just stewards given the opertunity to take care of what we were given.
they were poor stewards. blaming the auto industry or the government for not making safety latches is just denial. they failed their children, and God took them back.
i feel for them. there can be nothing more grevious than the loss of a child. even worse wil be knowing they didnt do enough to prevent it. there is no worse torture known to man. the children are beyond all pain and suffering now. beyond any possible hardship known to man. their parents, however, will be tortured for the rest of their lives. may God help them.

your odds of dying of heat exhaustion are over 10000 to 1 other more likely reasons include.
Hit by a car, 600 to 1
Falling over, 200 to 1
Suicide, 100 to 1
In fact you are more likely to be shot by a cop than die in the trunk of a car.
Geez, I thought this was a necropost. I swear the same thing happened like a year ago. 
It's sad to hear it and that it happens a lot Redyne. Another thing for parents to do is to always be aware of where there young children are. There have been an unusually high amount of toddler deaths here in Hawaii where the parents don't watch and end up running over their 2 year old with their SUV....

Of course it's tragic. But it's 2 kids dying from stupid negligence.
As for the hundreds of kids that died of starvation and preventable disease since you posted that - (despite the best endeavours of their parents), it's fUck all.
I suspect the fact that the 2 kids lived nearer you than thousands who conveniently choose to die a long way away is more relevant to the OP.

Dunno if this is the same one but I think I read about this one in the paper in the "Around the country" part. You see this kind of thing a lot, especially out here in Arizona. Mostly its people who move from out of state and don't always remember just how hot the inside of a car can get in the summer. Mostly its pets that die but its so bad they even put out commercials every year warning people about it.
It is a tragic loss, and I feel for them...kind of. Like Nobby and some others have stated, those children had NO BUSINESS playing in the trunk of that car. Parents that irresponsible do not deserve the privilege of having children.
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. ~River Tam

Red, should any of the above suffer the loss of a child in such a way make note they'd like to be told that their children were too stupid to live.
Upon observation, most kids between 5 and 12 can be deemed "too stupid to live". I mean, can you think of some of the Shit that you did and somehow survived?

Exactly. I know I'm not here because I listened to my parents. Like JD, I never did anything they told me. I chalk it up to just being a bit more lucky.
This begs the question:
Why were they playing in the trunk? Don't you need access to car keys to get into the trunk in the first place?

Your car doesn't have a trunk release latch near the driver's seat?

Well I'm sure an 11-year-old is capable of getting your car keys, unless you lock them in a safe. I don't think the keys are the "key" issue here.

I know, and it only took me ten thousand posts to achieve that pinnacle of wit.

See, my parents had enough brains to keep us away from places where our stupidity/naivety/innocence could prove fatal.
