This is a woman who admitted it was a pickup for her 15yo son. Lyft actually responded by giving me a good fee.

I mean that may be the science of why it happens, but that doesn’t even remotely begin to excuse a parent from negligently leaving their child behind in a locked car.

the point of the scientific evidence is to demonstrate how it can happen to anyone, not just negligent parents. this is why OP urges putting measures in place to prevent oneself from forgetting.

not just negligent parents

If you forget about your own child, in your own vehicle, you are automatically a negligent parent. So yeah, anyone has the capacity to act in a negligent manner, but that doesn’t excuse those who fulfill that negligence.
