  • PAPod 562 - When 'I Forgot' Becomes Fatal: Preventing Children Left in Hot Cars
    Sep 6 2025

    This episode examines the growing problem of children accidentally left in hot cars, explains why memory failures can happen to anyone, and argues that punishment is not the solution.

    It summarizes practical approaches—accepting the risk, assuming "when, not if," using technology and visual reminders, and responding with understanding rather than judgment—to create system-level changes that improve recoverability and prevent future tragedies.
