Really? This ain't Smalltown, USA that I live in. Bad sh*t happens all the time. The mother was an idiot to do what she did and so are you if you think this scenario was ok. No way to sugarcoat this one.Ciarinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01265859556543021100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708569620643319043.post-52657190638600739022009-12-02T15:11:46.393-07:002009-12-02T15:11:46.393-07:00What on earth did you think would happen? Do you ...What on earth did you think would happen? Do you think there are child abductors just hanging out in parking lots on the off chance that there is a child asleep in a car? And then, what, they'll break the window and drag the screaming child out? All in the 15 minutes that mom is inside getting her Starbucks? And through all of this, NOBODY WILL NOTICE?<br /><br />Really?Rinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691808934195745764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708569620643319043.post-88649293813780914852009-12-01T12:05:11.757-07:002009-12-01T12:05:11.757-07:00I think they just must not know any better.

These folks need to be told that it is not appropriate and their kid could be on the next milk carton.

I guess she thought the 7 y.o. was old enough to supervise?! We waited for almost 10 minutes to make sure the kids were ok and to see if someone would return quickly. Then asked the nearest store to make a loudspeaker announcement just in case. Finally the store owner called the police. It took the police a while to show up, so at this point the kids had been alone in the car well over half an hour. We left at that point knowing there was someone watching. I hope mom learned something when she got done shopping and found the police waiting with her kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
