A young mum rushing to work in her car on a sunny day made a fatal error when she forgot that her five-month-old son was still strapped into his baby-seat in the back.
Cathy Ranson (31) parked as usual at 8am outside the laundry where she works in Halle, Belgium and when she returned eight hours later her son, Guy, was still in his seat dead from dehydration.
Mrs Ranson, who was said to be stressed from coping with a job and a family, took her three children in the family's saloon car when she set off for work on the day of the tragedy.
First she stopped to drop off the two elder children, aged five and seven, at their school in Halle, Belgium. But she forgot to stop again two miles further on to deposit Guy at his nursery.
She did not realise the mistake immediately after work and drove to the nursery with Guy dead in his seat, fixed facing backwards.
The horrible truth finally dawned on her at the nursery. "Guy is dead. Guy is dead," she screamed as she frantically rang the bell on the door.
