The place I worked at 3 years ago, someone forgot to drop their kid off and left them in the car in 90 degree heat (freedumb units). I assumed the guy was overworked as hell; that place did not give a fuck about work/life balance, just like most places I've worked here in the land of the slaves and home of the cowardly.

Some say he is still out there today

I can't remember what the conversion is so I'll just assume it's 90 celsius and the son cooked to a nice crisp outside, juicy tender inside

90°F, that's outside. Inside a car, it got to over 120°F (probably). The kid died.

Well shit, I was hoping for a nice denouement

The lead forklift trainer tried to perform CPR, but the child was far too gone. I think she had to take a few days off.

Yea, I would have had to take those days off too. That's gotta be traumatizing
