(KUTV) - An Indiana woman is facing charges after allegedly leaving her toddler in a hot car while she was at an interview with the Department of Child Services (DCS), according to Fox 59.

On Tuesday, July 16, Jennifer Ost, 27, arrived at the appointment with her toddler, and a four-day-old newborn, but Indiana police say she left the toddler in the car, with the windows rolled up.

The outside temperature was 86 degrees and the child was in there alone for nearly two hours.

Court documents obtained by Fox 59 show Ost signed her newborn out of the hospital against medical advice.

The interview was scheduled between Ost, a DCS employee, a social worker, and a police officer to talk about her newborn.

A society that allows the mother to kill her newborn with the aid of a doctor is implicitly telling her that she can kill her kid in a hot car.

Not particularly guilty.

Terrible mother who needs to prosecuted though.

Was the family separated during the arrest?

Never could understand this, and yes it is murder.

A few years ago, while going into a CostCo, I spotted a young child in a car on a very hot Southern California day - the child was crying and whimpering. Doors were locked, windows rolled up, no one in sight.

Tried repeatedly to call 911 and could not connect. Told husband to run to his truck for a heavy wrench, I was going to smash out the windows. I was trying to talk to the child who was hysterical - as I was becoming b/c I couldn’t get through to 911 - someone got the manager of the CostCo who contacted the police. Husband came running with the wrench when the mother (or babysitter) apparently saw us at the car, got in and screeched out.

Police came into the CostCo - I didn’t get the license plate number or make of the car b/c I was so focused on the poor baby in the car. Would have taken a photo except I was frantically trying to call 911.

A few years ago, my elderly, disabled neighbor went to the store with her two dogs - she always left the dogs in the car with the air conditioner running while she shopped (I don’t agree with this).

She felt the dogs were safe.

By the time she got out to the car, there was a gaggle of police there - who told her they’d received a number of 911 calls about the dogs - she showed them that she had the air conditioner on and the dogs were in no danger - but I think they were threatening to charge her anyway with animal cruelty or something like that.

She promised to never do it again, and I don’t think she has.

That’s alright young ladies go ahead and risk pregnancy & single parenthood without a man dedicated to marriage with you; by intent the Progressives don’t care and will provide for you, via the taxpayers, all that a two-parent household is intented to provide. And if that is as discouraging to you, as it should be, go ahead and hook up anyway ‘cause killing the unborn is easy and “O.K.” as well.

One of the social drivers of the beginning of the feminist movement looked upon women with the need to protect their virtue and dignity and discourage males from being lax in accepting their responsibility to a child they were co-creators for. Males were rightly blamed for the abandoning of a woman whom they had impregnated. The feminist corrective was social pressure on males to accept their responsibilities and in the process minimize unwed mothers and orphans.

But as the sexual revolution developed the feminist movement shifted away from public castigation of the shiftless males, to seeking freedom for women to be just as loose with their morals & sexual lives, and let abortion and society pay for the consequences. It had become O.K. to be as careless as men had been when such careless men were part of the conditions that led to the feminist movement. It was sort of like, if you can’t beat em join em. The big losers were the virtue of women and the dignity & strength of the family.

I witnessed this once as well. Going with my daughter to the vet to pick up a neighbors cat (runaway repeat offender), we stopped off at a fast food joint to get some breakfast. I saw the baby in the carseat, inside the car, with the motor running and the windows sealed.

I called 911 and looked for a tire iron. Fortunately the cops came so I didn’t have to punch out any glass. They looked in the FF joint for the parent - no joy. It turned out that she had gone into a grocery store. I waited around long enough to watch her being cited.
