, just one fewer than in 2018, the deadliest year in the past two decades. But for many of the families left behind, the anguish of losing a child is just the beginning. One week after Bryce's death, and within an hour of his funeral, Raelyn learned that she was being charged with second-degree murder and felony child abuse and neglect.
To better understand why these tragedies occur, POPSUGAR reached out to David Diamond, PhD, a neuroscientist and professor of psychology at the University of South Florida, who's considered a leading expert in the field. Dr. Diamond pointed us to an essay he wrote for, a nonprofit news site that publishes only the work of researchers and academics, in which he details what he's learned while studying the brain and memory over the past 40 years.".
Normally, he would have been behind the passenger's seat where Raelyn could see him in her rearview mirror, but she had planned to take his new car seat to be installed at the fire station during her lunch break that day, leaving the baby strapped in behind her instead. Bryce was also tired from a sleepless night battling a cold, so he quietly fell asleep in the car.
According to data compiled by Kids and Cars, between 1990 and 2018, charges were filed in at least 246 out of 494 cases in which a child died after unknowingly being left in a car. Of those 246 people charged, at least 159 were convicted. That equates to 65 percent of charges resulting in convictions. "Many cases end with a plea deal because the grief is too overwhelming for parents to go through a trial," Rollins told POPSUGAR, adding that jail time is generally rare.
