There’s a post at a blog I read regularly (I’ve got it in my RSS reader, XD). The topic is about a mother and father who left their four-year-old in a burning trailer, but saved their dogs. That’s not the worst part. They were asked several times if there was anyone left in the trailer. They said no for 20 minutes, when they finally admitted/realized that their child was still in the building.
There’s a pretty good consensus on several points:
1) Kids come first, before pets, ALWAYS
2) Something is fishy with the parents lying about their child, and not remembering for 20 minutes.
Point 2 is what gets to me. How can you forget that your child could possibly be in a building that’s burning. Even if you don’t have full-time custody, wouldn’t you have them check, just to be on the safe side, if your child is in there? For gods sake, a child is irreplaceable!!
What’s your opinion?

Never forget a child. Never.

I don’t get how anyone could “forget” their child, period.
