Yeah, you’re right. The best solution, I guess. I’ll remember that. Thanks.

Regardless of the situation, unless it appears the children are unconscious or need immediate medical attention, the wise thing to do would have been to notify store management or the Police. In this day an age, trying to be a vigilante in a situation like this could very well get you shot, run over or beaten to a bloody pulp. You never know who you are dealing with, what if instead of a “mother” it had been a gang banger father and couple of his friends, this women would have been lucky to get out of the encounter alive.

Too much missing from the story.
The mom was right there to see the approach
of the ‘rescuer’; my first thought was
that Mom might have been returning the shopping wagon
to the corral.
I looking forward to the rest of the story.

The mother looks like a smug little dumbass who won’t listen to anyone which is likely why she was having babies while still a child.

Did she have an Obama bumper sticker on the car?

My wife and I were walking up a hill, beside us a family was out doing things in the front yard, their three year old was wandering out into the street and I could hear a big truck putting on the brakes as it went down the hill.
I said as casually as I could “Your toddler is toddling out into the street.”
The mother, rather than running after her child, started screaming at ME “I AM NOT A BAD MOTHER!!!!!”
I replied “irrespective of your skill as a mother, your child IS wandering out into the street.”
She got her child. I got a dirty look.

Probably true, but in the case of a child in a car, I would feel compelled to do something. Since I wouldn’t know how to break into a locked car or the strength or weapon to break a window, I think I would just call 911 and hope it wasn’t too late.

Incidentally, the best clue I’ve ever read for parents who drop kids off at a caretaker on their way to work is to leave their purse or briefcase on the BACK seat so that when they retrieve it, they’ll find the child.

Here’s what you do (this gained recently from personal experience): You call 911, you say I want to report a case of reckless endangerment, there are children (or pets) locked in a car in the parking lot of _________, the vehicle is a ___________, it’s tag number is______________. Then just stand back and watch the fun. It will be what I like to call a “significant emotional event” in the life of the idiot(s) who did it. And it is very doubtful that they will EVER do it again.

It seems that people are more concerned about being embarrassed or *dissed* than they are about almost anything else. I don’t know if this is new, or has always been. But that seems to be the first reaction of most people these days.

It is nothing new, other than that the social impulses that would previously curtail such behavior have been abolished.
In the “self esteem” era - how DARE you point out that their child is wandering out into the street - why that is an attack upon their very being - their most precious asset - no, not the child, their own feeling of self worth.
“I am NOT a bad mother!” she screeched at me while her toddler wandered out into the street.

Wife and I watched some lady leave her two small kids in car seats while she went in to a cafe to join a guy for breakfast. It was hot outside.
We called 911 and watched the car to be sure the kids were OK. The cops got there (30 minutes) about the same time the lady came out of the cafe. That lady launched on everybody, us, the cops and any by-standers that had gathered to watch. The guy she was with just dissappeared.
Result: She went away in handcuffs. Kids went off with CPS. Car got towed.
To: arrogantsob
If you come upon children left in a car is it wise to just go on your merry way tra,la, la, las, la, la? No, of course not. But a certain amount of observation would be in order. Whether this was done or not is not clear from the article.

Apparently the mother you are talking about never heard of Adam Walsh.
