Today I am just feeling thankful for the thin blue line. I know they don’t always do every thing right, but sometimes, they do.
My wife is the director of a church preschool program. They have about 100 children in the program. Several times a year she has to reprimand parents who leave a child sleeping in the car and run in ‘for just a minute’ to drop something off or pick up another child. They have had cars stolen from right in front of the gate because the parent went off and left the keys in the car. They’ve had purses stolen off the front seat of unlocked cars.
Apparently this mom went inside and left the child sleeping in the car seat. In some jurisdictions that’s enough to get a parent charged with neglect.
