some people just make my blood boil
There have been several incidences like that here in the states. I am still wondering how one can forget a child in a car. After all the parent put the child in its car seat. Just an excuse to see if they get off with a lesser charge.
We shall see how far "I forgot" gets you when the judge sentences you.
