If they just watched their damn kids in the first place.
Who do YOU blame?

I blame the parents. Why would you wait that long to call the police in the first place. What a sad story.

My kids are older, but here's a newsflash for ya... they were once this age too!
As much as I would have liked for them to have popped out old enough to get their driver's licenses, our reproductive systems just don't work that way.So, in order to clarify my point to some, when my three kids were younger, they were very often out playing somewhere. They would be in the backyard, they would be at a neighbor's house, they would be down in the basement, etc. I never felt a need to place eyeballs on my kids every 15 minutes, or every hour, etc. There were times, such as dinner time or in the evening when they knew to be home, that if they didn't show up I would start to worry. But I think the idea of having a parent checking up on a child everyday, every hour, is either being excessive, delusional, or the idea of some parents living in dreamland.
I don't see this three hour period as being anything that any parent should be "blamed" for. This whole event is just one of those tragic accidents that once upon a time was just an accident, without the need to villianize someone.

I do feel the need. But hey, maybe I'm just one of those over protective parents.
I agree, but it definitely was a contributing factor, IMO.

Yes... she is. Even worse, I'll tell you what else she is... she is a parent who, if she hasn't already done so, will do exactly the same thing as these parents did in the future. I'll go on record right her, right now, and say there isn't a parent of a kid in the 9+ age group who hasn't lost track of where their kid is at for 3+ hours at a time. And if any say that's not so, they're liars. They may think they know where they are, what they're doing, or who they're with, but unless you still have your kid strapped to you with a 1980's velcro leash, you have no way of knowing for sure where they are or exactly what they're doing.
So to all of you parents who say the parents were negligent for not noticing that their kids were missing for three hours, I say hello hypocrite.

Nope, you CAN'T blame the cops.. They didn't leave the abandoned car in the yard.. they didn't leave the trunk open.. they weren't the ones that left the car there after the FIRST time they found a kid playing in the trunk.. and after THREE hours before calling 911, the kids were probably already dead anyways.meangirl said:
Whoever's property the car was on, AND whoever owned the car should be the responsible party, but of course how much money can the parents make suing those people.. city police departments pockets are a LOT deeper.
Police can't be responsible for EVER bad incident that goes on.. responsibility starts at home.. with the parents..

The boys apparently climbed into the trunk through the car's passenger compartment, moving items such as a tire iron and car jack into the compartment and leaving their shoes there as well, according to the report.
Now I am REALLY confused.. why didn't the kids just climb back out?? I thought they closed the trunk on themselves and couldn't get it re-opened.

My guess is that they climbed in back there and were sitting there talking or whatever, and the heat and the lack of oxygen just made them tired and they napped off.
