Don't laugh, this really did happen!

A story shown on the news today struck me as incredibly incredible,
.. i mean "omg, that's incredibly funny" kind of incredible!.
..
A San Francisco couple arrived at a family member's home,
unloaded the car, got their 4 year old child out of the car,
had dinner and went to sleep.

Next morning, the man leaves for work and receives a phone call from his wife,
she asks if he took their 4-6 month old daughter, to which he answers: "no"

Immediately, the woman runs outside,
opens the car, and,
low and behold,
there she was
..
after 13 hrs of neglect
..
dead.

No arrests were made.

Train of Thought

assumption, the act of assuming or taking for granted;

to assume, to be excessively forward, to be presumptuous or assumptive;

to presume, to take liberties or act with too much confidence, to take to be the case or to be true; to accept without verification or proof, to assume or take for granted;

to preside, to act as president, to control or command;

to side, to take sides with, to align oneself with, show strong simpathy for, to pull, root or go with.

As a translator, you come across words that you use on a daily basis yet don't know the exact meaning of. Now, when i'm asked "Why would anyone endeavor on such a thing?" I think about it and this word comes to mind.
