Noah Zunde was just 22 months old when he was left in the back seat of his family car outside a childcare centre in Kyneton, Victoria for seven hours on February 19, 2015.
Noah’s mother inadvertently believed she had dropped her son off at daycare, and only discovered his body when she realised he was not in the centre.
The 22-month-old was still strapped into his car seat when his mother found him. Paramedics attempted CPR for several minutes, but he could not be revived.
Now, his death is set to be at the centre of an inquiry by the Victorian coroner into the deaths of children who were unintentionally left in cars.

I have some understanding of how this can happen. I have a 30 year old intellectually disabled son who is non verbal. He went to a family day carer while which was on my way to work
I still remember one morning when he was about three. As usual I parked in the work car park jumped out of the car thinking about work. I locked the car began to walk away luckily I happened to glance at the back seat and noticed my son still happily sitting in his car seat. It was a terrible feeling.
I have compassion for this mother and hope that she is able to find some peace
So heartbreaking, hope she and her husband get loads of support, love and forgiveness.
