Fatal Distraction: Forgetting a Child in the Backseat of a Car Is a Horrifying Mistake. Is It a Crime? Gene Weingarten Reports. - washingtonpost.com

This Washington Post piece is extremely well put together. These are tragic stories, evocatively and heart-wrenchingly explained. More importantly though, the piece does an effective job of discussing the cognitive (even momentary distraction can have horrible implications) and sociological (this can happen to anybody from any background, and does happen).

WELL worth the read.
