Cab driver takes blame for forgotten kid.

Don't hear about this sort of blame shifting often.

"We are very happy that the baby was safely returned to mom and dad," said Elaine Driscoll, a police spokeswoman. "That said, it was an important opportunity to remind cab drivers why we have a rule that dictates they must check the back of their cab after every fare."

I can see forgetting your bag, but you're kid? And somehow it's the driver's fault? In what backwards world is the cab driver more responsible for a child than the parent's? Oh wait, this one.

"Police would not release the names of the parents but said they were not being investigated."

At this point, no one should be investigated. It was a doof, no one got hurt, the kid got brought back. But why the cabbie should get so much as a warning is beyond me.
