    I didn’t say they deserve to die. I only said their death is the parent’s responsibility for leaving them in a car parked on the tracks.

    If a parent leaves a baby in the woods, no one would be arguing about “maybe bears shouldn’t eat babies!” They would be saying “Maybe you shouldn’t leave your baby unattended in the woods!”

    Leave a baby in the woods, it dies. Leave a baby on the train tracks, it dies. In both cases, it’s the negligent parent’s fault. Not the bear’s or the train’s.

        I like this “the street car operator will make a baby die if they have to push a blocking car out of the way” strawman you have here
