Man Catches Train, Forgets Baby in Car

By MICHAEL W. KAHN, Associated Press Writer

7 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Commuters racing to catch the train typically forget things in the car — keys, wallets, briefcases. But a baby daughter?

That's what happened Thursday just north of Washington, police say.

"Dad forgot baby was in the car, parked the car, got on the Metro," said Lucille Baur, a spokeswoman for the Montgomery County, Md., Police Department.

"I don't know exactly when he got the memory flash, but he was in D.C. when it was the horrible defining moment, 'Oh my goodness, I think I've left my child back in my car,'" Baur said.

At that point, she said, Jonathan Sander got off the southbound train and onto a northbound one, returning to the Shady Grove Metrorail station about 12 miles north of Washington.

By that time, other commuters had noticed the 7 1/2-month-old girl in the back seat of the car, firefighters had opened the locked door and the child had been taken to a hospital as a precaution.

She was reunited there with her mother.

"Child Protective Services was comfortable with releasing the child back to the mom," said Baur. "We all believe that the child was not intentionally left in the car."

Sander, described as "terrified, embarrassed," was charged with leaving a child under 8 unattended in a car or building. He could face a fine of up to $500 and 30 days in jail.

I think Dennis Miller once suggested that people needed to get a license to have children.

oops.

Being a parent, I could never, never, never, never, never understand how one could forget their child IN THEIR CAR!!!!

I have heard abt the mother who forgot her child was strapped in her car seat and she went to work. "Ooops, forgot to drop her off at daycare" was the excuse.

I heard abt the father who did the same thing. HOW THE HELL CAN ANYONE FORGET THEIR CHILD IN THE CAR??????

Stormtracker TF · 03-24-2006, 04:58 AM

That's horrible. I don't get how someone could do that and live with themselves. If I was that guy I'd actually hope I got put in jail for 30 days and had to cough up 500 bucks, that's just crazy.

Dutabi84 · 03-24-2006, 05:06 AM

I can't even imagine the sick feeling a parent would have after doing something like that.

MsOrange · 03-24-2006, 08:27 AM

i've had dreams that I do stuff like to my kids (i swear, it's a sign I don't need to have children...)

Ireneparalegal · 03-24-2006, 02:29 PM
