“You’re as dumb as she is.”
What I am is an old guy who still remembers that some people struggle and barely get by in this world. Do I think it is ideal or even good to leave a 1 and 4 year old in a car alone in hot weather, of course not. Was the mother right out there when a stranger approached her kids, it seems so.
But I always error on the side of the parent not the state. So I want the facts, while you nanny state big government types want to immediately turn to government like you buds at Dim underground, etc.
Sorry, ain’t working.
I grew up in the south without air conditioning; I know what heat is. Yeah, I played outside in the summer with temps near 100 but I wasn’t closed up in a car. I was in the shade with a breeze blowing. Drove for years without A/C in the car. It was miserable with windows down and moving-unbearable with the windows up.
I’m not sure where you get that the mother was right out there when a stranger approached her kids. The article states that Elliott approached the mother as she exited the store. You have no way of knowing if Elliott had found the kids 30 seconds before or 10 minutes before. You’re assuming.
I err on the side of the child. Since 1998, an average of 37 children have died in the United States after being left in or becoming trapped in a hot vehicle. I’d rather have them alive than dead. And I changed my mind-you’re DUMBER than she is.
