This is one of the biggest differences between the US and the EU. In the US the majority of cars are automatic, which are easy enough for a child to drive; in the EU the opposite is true. Automatic vehicles are also less efficient. It seems strange that the US is one of the few countries with such a penchant for automatic vehicles. Then again, the US has typically had lower taxes on fuel and therefore there is less incentive to opt for fuel efficient vehicles. You only have to look at the US obsession with chronically inefficient SUVs so see that.

Regardless, it is ridiculous that the child even had access to the vehicle and the keys. The report says she was home for 3hrs alone, so that implies that she had a key to the house. At the very least there should be an investigation to see whether the parents are even fit for purpose, as all the evidence points to the contrary.

Just leaving a message for the father and trusting he would get it in time was a big mistake. But who knows how messed up the mother was when she was rushed to the hospital, she probably wasn't thinking straight.

"he never got the call to pick her up."
the info we have is that, mom was taken to a hospital for some reason and the father was not informed of the status of the mother and daughter.
assuming the mother was conscious she should of made arrangements for the daughter's pick-up. why are comments blaming the father? both parents could be without blame, if the mother was incapacitated due to a medical issue. if that is so, she could of also not informed the father that his daughter needed to be picked up.
