Yeah, more laws... That's what we need.
More warning labels, like on pails of water, that may cause drowning. Or not to use the weed wacker to remove hair on head or any other part of body.

Now ya got it... Mankind is too stupid after all. They need to be told the obvious.
I think the mother should sue the car maker, there should be a WARNING STICKER: LEAVING CHILDREN, ANIMALS, INFANTS, TODDLERS, PUPPIES, CALVES, PONIES, KITTENS, ETC., IN THIS CAR UNINTENDED AS IT MAY BE HARMFUL OR CAUSE DEATH.
Since there was no obvious warning, owner's manual is just NOT enough, she really should call John Edwards, pronto!
In countries like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark they don't even bother to debate whether they should have universal, subsidized day care for everyone - rich and poor. Its not even an issue. Its just an integral part of their nation's child policies. The only debate they have, is how to make it better.
They don't have blacks in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. We do. Our situation is different. Where was the "daddy"? Same place every other black "daddy" is: nowhere to be found. I bet the "daddy" of those kids never does find out what happened to them, or care. If we nationalized daycare in the U.S., it would be white taxpayers funding the care of millions of black children that aren't cared for by their parents.

I live in Sweden, there are blacks here. There are lots of other races here too that you also probably dont like.
Subsidized day care is working well and its available TO EVERYONE, the rich and poor alike. The ONLY difference is that you pay somewhere between 0 and $50 per month, but no one pays over that amount per MONTH.
I do pay higher taxes but I also have some expenses eliminated because they are handled by tax revenue. I actually live a HIGHER standard of living on what equates to less pay than I got when I was working in the US. I I get much more for my tax money here.
The biggest problem in the US is that we dont get what we should for our tax money and instead its squandered by a corrupt govt who have allowed special interests and corps (as well as themselves) to use the US tax money as their personal cash cow. I believe that US taxes could be lowered and we could PROVIDE more for the citizens. We would just have to rid ourselves of the corrupt govt and both corrupt political parties that rule our system as if they are royalty.
That works great on a small model like your country. The US has to live by state laws a well. I could see this working through a state ran program but not on the federal level. In fact several of our states do have subsidized child care. Oregon has a program for those that fit the income guide line. Most families pay about 25 cents an hour out of pocket.
ITA with you on the state of our elected officials.
And the over site. Do the parents have control over how it's run? I can't hand my kids over to just anyone. Only one of our public education programs I support. And that's because they give power to the parents. I'm on our local Head Start Policy Council. We over see and approve everything from budget to who we hire and fire. Ir puts control where it belongs.
That's what I'm finding with Head Start. We look at more than just the education of the child. We look at the home too. Is it stable, are there major needs, etc etc. They do home visits many times a year to work on anything from the paper work (major pain in the ass) to making home made play dough. We check that they are going to the Dr and dentist. We help parents with achieving their goals as well. It's very comprehensive.
Our k-12 run nothing like that though. It's eliminating the parent where ever possable. Well, other than fundraising.
And what of your laws on homeschooling? What if parents don't want to enroll their children? Do you have that control?
Had there been affordable daycare available, would this have happened?
