11 seriously??
I parked in the police department parking lot.
Reason has to intrude somewhere in this. Zero tolerance is for idiots.

I don’t know. I don’t leave kids in a hot car because it’s too hot not because of what this stupid government tells me
And I don’t do it
Cars get hot
Where is the crime here?
what a bunch of crap...an 11 year old?
?????
If it was sunny outside that means it was probably 75 deg F outside. Maybe not the best judgement but hardly a crisis,
A 11 year would just get out if there was a problem, its not 11 months old its 11 years.
It’s very fortunate that the 11-year old did not have a pop-tart chewed into the shape of a pistol or she may well have not survived the new ZERO TOLERANCE STATISTS.
I don’t know, remember that story about the school girl (I don’t know how old she was, but older than 11 I think, maybe like 14 or so) who got inadvertently locked in the car by her brother at school. He had an early class, she had a later one, it was some old car, I still really don’t understand why she couldn’t get out, or why she didn’t have a cell phone, and I think she died.
I think it happened in CA, out west somewhere anyway. Last year, I think.
Scary stuff!
Not saying the cops were right to charge this woman, but maybe not a bad idea to check up.
The other day I left my dogs in my car, with the AC running, while I went into a restaurant. A gentleman graciously pointed out to me that my dogs could be harmed by leaving them in the car. I explained to him that my car was running with the AC on then thanked him for having the guts to say something.
I had learned how to drive by then.
In 1949 when I was 12 I went 124 in a flathead rail at the drags.
An 11 year old can open the darn car door if needed. A different USA ago when I was about 8 or so kids staying in the car while parent was in store etc was real common. Of course we could roll down the windows and perverts weren’t as brazen and free to do as they please as they are today. Our nation has taken leave of it’s senses.
I was hunting alone all over this county when I was 11.
Over zealous and in need of payroll money....
As a general rule, we don’t turn our AC on until it hits 90 outside, and I leave my kids at home often.
Am I going to Jail?
