I’m disgusted at the grandmother defending her daughter and acting like any one of us could do something that stupid.. she calls her daughter “extremely organized and detail oriented”..you’ve got to be kidding me.. the child was left unattended twice before..that doesn’t sound “detail oriented”...that sounds like someone more devoted to her own activities than to her children....
When at least one co-worker [Tara?] mentioned the older girl and the mother staying 10 min. or more for a play rehearsal while the baby was in the car, that tells me that the co-worker disapproved. If she didn’t, she’d maybe not have made a mental note of it or the specific amount of time they left the baby.
Aside from the killer heat, why wouldn’t someone be concerned that someone could get to the child and kidnap her? That would be reason enough for me not to have left her. Kidnapping children is far too common, IMHO.
