CHICAGO, March 12 (UPI) -- A suburban Chicago woman went on trial for briefly leaving her 2-year-old daughter in a locked car in order to put money in a Salvation Army kettle.
Treffly Coyne of Tinley Park faces up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if a Cook County Court finds her guilty of child endangerment and obstruction of justice, The Tinley Park Star reported Wednesday.
Coyne drove her three daughters and a neighbor's child to a nearby Wal-Mart one evening in order to donate money to the Salvation Army.
Her 2-year-old daughter had fallen asleep on the ride so Coyne left her in the locked car while she and the other children deposited money in a kettle just 30 feet away. Minutes later she was arrested.

If you don’t like it, then don’t click on the story.
It’s pretty easy if you try.
It was in the winter... Christmas time.... you know the time when people do charitable things like this woman and her children who got out of the car to put money in a Salvation Army kettle.
The mother said that the weather was sleeting and it was safter to leave the 2 year old in the car sleeping, than to wake her, haul her across an icy parking lot to make their charitable donation.
Good deeds never go unpunished.
The same distance between my refrigerator and my TV. I have done that as a parent.
Arrest me.
If true, that is worse than what the mother did.
What was that about nanny state?
Rednees= Nanny.

( Unfortunately, the three other little girls, horrified to see their mother arrested, were not taken into protective custody. )

See post #7.
This child was in a locked, alarmed vehicle 30 feet away, much more secure than a child 100 ft. away in her/his yard with a parent watching out the window.
Give me a break.
I'll assume you read the article, that would be just that, not my comments.
Are you new here or just confused?
It was around Christmas time.
I think the child was dressed properly to sustain five minutes in a car.
Better than outside in the cold wouldn't you say?
And your point is? I did a search, this function is less than stellar, so shoot me.
All accounts appear to match up. The mother did nothing wrong.
2, And it'll keep getting posted until the copsuckers notice it and turn it into a mega thread.
