Its not that bizarre. I've never done it before, but I can perfectly understand how easily it could be done. I had a colleague at work who described an eerily similar experience. He got to work having completely forgotten to take his kid to daycare. Fortunately he just happened to look in the mirror and see him there - sleeping.

Its all too easy actually. And thats not even going into the mitigating circumstances going on with this poor woman (lack of sleep, illness, stress)

"The inquest heard Noah was normally loud during car trips but unusually fell asleep on the way to day care on the morning he died.

It meant there was nothing to jog Ms Zunde's memory her son was still in the car and, after dropping her daughter at primary school, Ms Zunde's habitual memory took over, resulting in her driving straight home."



I don't know.....Perhaps the mum completely forgot to attend the childcare centre to drop the boy off..ie the daughter's school drop off was first in the usual routine and because her boy was asleep, nothing triggered the second step, being his childcare drop off. Hence she drove straight home after dropping her daughter off at school.
