“A 3-years old boy died in Sevilla while he slept in his car seat in his father’ car while he was working in a Secondary School or having a meeting”.
“A 2-years old baby died in France after being abandoned by his father inside his car parked at the centre of the city Pont de Chéruy.
Unfortunately, we have been witnesses of the above headlines on two occasions during last week. But these are not the only cases that have happened during recent months. This kind of events are happening every day all over the world and I can not understand how is possible to forget a baby in the car, your own baby!. You can forget your mobile, the glasses, the shopping, the bag, some documents, but a baby!. Not only it is a human, but also is it someone who is on your own flesh and blood. Someone that is in your mind the whole day because you can not avoid thinking on them. Although I have tried to find some reasonable explanation to justify those events, I still have not found it. I supposed they really forgot the children were inside the car because it would be a very irresponsible and horrible action from a parent to leave the baby, being conscious of it. But surely there a many cases of children left in the car while parents are doing something important or not.
From personal experience I would say that to be parents means a lot of responsibility, that sometimes it is not easy to assume. You think you will not be able to do it, but when the baby comes you realize that it will not be so difficult. Despite of the feeling of insecurity, you start playing this important role, commiting a lot of mistakes, but learning of them. Finally they become in the reason of your life.
Nowadays the pace of this modern life forces ourselves to be very busy us not to stop not even to think. In our day, we have perhaps become so used to seeing tragedy that we are not aware of the meaning of the word. However when the tragedy involves loss of children’s life I am convinced we are more sensitive, at least I am. And you?

Good one María Jesús, I just find a strong error, article uses. Also, try not to translate Spanish statements directly into English. I like structure of you article, ideas are very well exposed. In September yes, you can.
I have two daughter (4 and 6) so I feel the topic close to me.
Hi, Maria Jesús, this topic is extremely touching for all of us. We all feel horrified when we watch allt hese terrible events. I feel terribly sorry for all those parents that have been the reason why their children have died.
I have added a few more corrections.
