I’m More Mom Judgey Towards Drunk Wal-Mart Shopping Moms Than Nice Pretty Moms Who Leave Babies Locked in Cars
A one-year-old girl from Alabama has died after being locked for nearly three hours inside an overheated SUV – and her heartbroken mother blames herself for the tragedy.
Police in the Birmingham suburb of Homewood say 11-month-old Gabriella Gi-Ny Luong was found inside her mother’s white Lexus SUV Wednesday after Katie Luong forgot about her daughter as she rushing.
The infant was rushed to the Children’s of Alabama hospital but could not be resuscitated.
According to officers, the girl’s temperature was about 105 degrees when they arrived, and inside the vehicle it was about 130 degrees.
On Thursday, Gabriella’s mother stated to AL.com that she blames no one but herself for her daughter’s death.
‘I want to tell everybody that I wish I was in that car seat, not her,’ Katie Luong said. ‘If I had to die for her to live, I would have done that.’
I’m sure it helps me feel less judgmental towards this mom because she made such a sad statement to the press, when so many other moms never say anything, or we don’t hear what they say, after their poor kid dies after being locked in a car. Regardless of how I personally feel, please for the love of everything it is horrifically hot out and don’t leave anything that breathes in your car ever no matter where you go or what you do, not even a houseplant.
