I would ask Superman if he could either fly down the mine shaft and check to see if my kid was in there, or stay with the other kid while I checked it out. If he refused, I would threaten to reveal Batman's secret identity.
June 29, 2006, 9:46AM N.D. Baby Left in Minivan All Day Dies © 2006 The Associated Press GRAND FORKS, N.D. — A 5-month-old girl died after being left all day in a minivan when her mother apparently forgot to take her to a day care center, authorities said. Police Sgt. Jeff Burgess said the mother drove to the day care about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday after leaving work, and was told she had not dropped the girl off earlier. "They ran out to her vehicle, and the infant was still in the car seat in the vehicle," Burgess said. Curt Kreun, the owner of the Wonder Years 2 day care center, said authorities were called and staff members tried unsuccessfully to revive the baby. Kreun said it would have been impossible for passers-by to see the baby in the van, which had tinted windows. The baby's car seat was in the backseat. The high temperature in Grand Forks on Wednesday was 78 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. At least 31 such deaths have been recorded every year in the United States since 1998, with 42 each in 2003 and 2005, according to Jan Null, a San Francisco State University meteorology professor who tracks such deaths.
