And I don’t do it
Cars get hot
I don't know, that is I don't know how many of us managed to survive the forties, fifties, and sixties without police pulling all out of cars our parents left us in while the shopped and did errands, quite obviously the one thing that died for sure was common sense and what we are left with is a village full of idiots.
Destruction of the family
Overtaxation
We had 6 kids in our family. Once my friends were discussing with me how their lives were different from mine because they had a lot of kids in their families
Our family was small
We rode bikes with no helmets,took the town bus into town on Saturdays and made it home for dinner
Our parents left us in the car with an older child in charge, wth the windows open but not for a long shopping trip into the supermarket
A couple of things:
One- kids got killed, drowned, poisoned and had head injuries, electrocuted, stitched, and that s not counting fractures, tears and lacerations
Two- kidnapping did not happen. That is worse for a parent than anything. It didn’t happen
And parents were responsible. If something happened they were ashamed and shamed in the community. People don’t want judgement and discernment, so this is what you have - the government in charge, and tgat means democrats- liberals - the non judgemental ones- not the community. And when the government is in charge, they favor their voters. They’re plenty judgemental just not toward the excuse-needers. And this is what you get.
All of us now are treated like stupid idiots who cannot manage our own lives.
And, lastly, there are not two parents at home. No one is home. Mom is working. Everyone has to shove the baby half asleep into the back of the car to go to day care with strangers all day so the parent emotionally detaches. No one in their righting can face doing that to their kid so they are detached. Disassociated. He gets left in the car forgotten while the parent is at work
Parents leave their kids in the car all the time and in the summer. In Texas
I don’t know, that is I don’t know how many of us managed to survive the forties, fifties, and sixties without police pulling all out of cars our parents left us in while the shopped and did errands, quite obviously the one thing that died for sure was common sense and what we are left with is a village full of idiots.

Exactly! Family didn’t have an auto with a/c until ‘58, when I was 16. Most people in the neighborhood didn’t have a/c cars until mid-50s and the best we had in houses was swamp coolers that caused mold to grow inside. ...I recall a neighbor who had one of those devices that attached to his driver-side door/window that he filled with water and when driving a small fan would turn, blowing water cooled air inside the car.
