>>I wish I had pictures of their faces when they came back out to their car to see me holding their kid standing next to a police officer and the newly modified automobile.<<
You are my hero of the day.
Thanks, but I’m just a work at home mom with a very low tolerance for fools and knaves and clowns like these qualify in spades!
I have no sympathy for people like this. It’s not an accident, it is intentional laziness. I see mothers and fathers go into a gas station to pay and leave a baby in the car. Windows up or down, it doesn’t matter. If you are going to take two steps away from your car, you take the kid out and hold them. Yes it’s a pain in the arse to take them out and put them back in, but they are far safer in your arms than anywhere else. Doesn’t anyone remember the slew of carjackings where the perps drove away with the kid still strapped in their seat?
We are in need of a COMMON SENSE test in this country and those failing it should be regulated to the lowest rungs of society, and certainly not allowed to become school administrators. This woman should only be trusted to greet people at Wal-Mart or ask “Do you want fries with that?” But only after she is first locked in a car in 100 degree heat for 8 hours.
My hero too! Good for you, anonsquared!
I hadn’t thought about the 5 trips to the car, but now that I read it here it could very well be that she knew the child was there. I can’t fathom someone going to their car 5 times and not noticing the car seat was occupied!
The prosecutor was very glib on Today Show. I didn’t know then that this was not the first time she’d left the child! He should be encouraged to step down.
