It sounds to me like you have not read “Fatal Distraction.”   It won Gene Weingarten a Pulitzer.  Once you read it, you won’t forget it.

Yes. It could happen to you. That piece is so moving and should be required reading for everyone. [/quote]

Nope. I am 100% certain it could never happen to me. Ever. You don’t just forget a child. [/quote]

This can be a very dangerous belief. The brain science is clear that this can happen to the most attentive and loving parents. The right situation and order of events can make this a possibility for almost anyone. Being self-aware enough to realize that it indeed could happen to you might help you put the safeguards in place to reduce the likelihood. By just assuming you could never do this, you might not have the same vigilance. I am a super organized parent but I could still see how in the right scenario, this could be something that tragically could happen to me.  [/quote]

It's almost never the primary/default parent. Almost never. [/quote]

Correct. That’s why it’s always men doing this. Never women. This is not a parenting problem, this is a men problem. Men simply cannot be trusted around children. None of them. Not even my own sons. Men are either shaking babies to death because they’re mad at them for crying, or forgetting them in a hot car because they had to go play video games or watch pornography, or if the children survive long enough, and have the misfortune of having been born a female in Trump’s American, fathers will start raping their daughters at age 9-10. Men are vile awful creatures. [/quote]
