As I know people who have lost a child I find your claim that the most likely reason for a death in a hot car is that the parent MEANT TO KILL THEIR CHILD extremely hostile, vicious, and evil. There is absolutely no evidence for your belief which you state as a fact. There has been one case I can find, exactly one, case where any evidence pointed to the death as intentional. There were nearly 1000 deaths since 1990. One of 1000 is not "more than likely" and I wonder about the belief system of a person who would inflict additional pain on parents who loose a child in this horrible way by suggesting it was likely they killed the child on purpose.
