Oh man, but forgetting whether you dropped off your child? I know, obviously it happens, but I don't think mine were ever quiet long enough for me to forget they were with me!

It's tragic, but haven't we all "thought" we did something and realized we hadn't? Due to other issues going on.

"Tragic Accident" Victim Identified

(AP) _ Police have identified a five-month-old girl who died in Grand Forks
after she was left in a minivan all day.

Police say 34-year-old Andrea Boe thought she had dropped off her
daughter -- Kate -- at the Wonder Years 2 day care center before going to
work yesterday morning.

Police Sergeant Jeff Burgess says the mother drove to the day care about
5:30 in the afternoon after leaving work -- and was told she had not dropped
the baby off as she had thought.

The owner of the day care center, Curt Kreun, says staff members at the
center called for help and tried unsuccessfully to revive the baby.

The high temperature in Grand Forks yesterday was 78 degrees. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Commission says temperatures easily can climb to more
than 100 degrees within minutes in an enclosed car.

The Grand Forks Police Department crime bureau is investigating -- and an
autopsy is being done today. But Kreun says police told him charges are not
expected and that it was a ``tragic accident.''
