Georgia prosecutors have charged Deja Coleman, his mother, with second-degree murder, infuriating child safety advocates who say that hot car deaths are nearly always accidental and tragic. They stress that under the wrong circumstances, any parent could make the fatal mistake of leaving their child in a hot car.
Amber Rollins, the executive director of Kids and Car Safety, said Coleman was a "wonderful, loving mother" who, due to stress that compounded a common memory process in the brain, "lost awareness" that her baby was in the car and not at daycare where she believed he was all day.
You'll never guess the race
