Allow me to enter into the discussion that this isn't one parent leaving dozens of children in cars to their demise and still feeling responsible each time.
Therefore, your statement begs the question: should one parent's negligence, in view of previous incidents by other parents, mean that they would feel any less (responsible / guilty / terminally stupid)?
Granted it's patently ridiculous for a person to leave their most precious gift unattended under any circumstances. I just don't agree that they would feel any less responsible just because it has happened before to other families.

It seems to happen often enough that some people must not realize the gravity of the situation.

Unfortunately, they only realize the gravity of the situation when it's too late. That's where education comes in, which usually happens for about two days after the incident, and two days after the court hands down the punishment. If not for the news media, there would be zero education on the subject.
All the best...
