The death of a three-year-old girl who was forgotten for nearly eight hours inside a locked vehicle at Seshego Hospital last week has ignited nationwide discussions about parental fatigue, workplace stress and the need for stronger community support systems.

Police confirmed that the child's grandmother, a nurse at the hospital, had parked her vehicle around 07:00 last Monday with the toddler asleep in the backseat, intending to drop her off at crèche.

She reportedly went inside the hospital to attend a briefing and forgot about the child until the afternoon, when a doctor saw the lifeless toddler through the vehicle's window.
