Mom charged for leaving child in car

I don't understand why parents do it either, especially when the child is really young. It's not that difficult to just bring the child with you. It's true that it is annoying to have to unbuckle your child, bring him/her with you, and all of that. But it's about the safety of the child.

In Florida there is tropical weather so it would be hot on most days I imagine. In a moving car a driver and passengers could stay cool if the car that they are traveling on has air conditioning. If a car parks in a car park under the hot sun then the car could get very hot inside. I have heard dogs can die in a hot car. The mom was trying to find a job and once she gets a job she will be likely to pay for child care. She probably wished she had left her child with a child minder rather than in the car. She had no idea of how hot it gets in a parked car under the hot sun. If a mom has two children and her baby girl is asleep in the car she might leave her for one minute to collect her toddler girl from nursery school. She would ensure that her car in within her sight. She would have the air conditioning left on. If the toddler daughter wasn't ready she would go back to her car to be with her baby daughter. She would be likely to have to take her sleeping baby out of her car. In my home country in the winter it is cold so it might be possible to leave a child in the car for one minute say to collect a sibling or go to the toilet. In the summer a child shouldn't be left in the car for any reason. Child care should be provided for job seeking moms in Florida.

It's about time that these idiot people who call themselves parents get caught for this. I don't know how many articles I've come across where people are leaving not only their own children but animals in rediculously hot vehicles. Like find a babysitter or ask a relative to watch them for the day I"m sure they would do it?? Take care

Some people should not be parents! That is so incredibly wrong to leave your child in a car like that. Especially when they are only 18 months old! I once knew of a guy who came across a locked car with a baby inside. He waited for a while and then smashed a window to get the child out. He then took the child to a nearby police station where the mother turned up a bit later in a panic about her child being kidnapped. She wanted to charge the guy with kidnapping and damaging her car. I am not sure what happened to the guy or the mother as I only heard this story third hand from the employer of the guy who took the child out. They were wondering why he was taking so long on his lunch break from work!

How can a mother left her child in the car under the hot sun. If she switch on the car aircondition is still being acceptable I think. Just imagine your child being put in the hot car for few hours? That I cannot accept it. May be she think that she just away for awhile, but for me even if you leave your child for 1 min out of your vision, anything can happen. Like my son, he was once playing with his bicycle just like normal, but when I just turn with my back to him, suddently I heard he is crying very loudly. Guess what? He was fell down and with an inch of scar on his head with lots of blood coming out from the scar. So can we leave our child without our supervision? I say NO!

If you will go to the department store and in all public places, you will see warnings to the effect that you should not leave your things unattended. How much more your own child? I don't know what went in her mind. Is her child some sort of a doll with no feelings! I am also a mother and I will never forgive myself if anything bad happens to my children because of my negligence and feeblemindedness. If I really need to do something important, I will leave my children to my family or trusted friend. If I can't find someone who will look after my children, then let all the repercussions be with me for neglecting my obligations. I will never sacrifice the safety of my children because they are my life and their lives depend on me being a worthy mother!

Seeing her age, I am sure she did not think of the consequences that could come with that. It is not an excuse, she needs to be held responsible. I hope that they do something to help her become more responsible, even if her life is in shambles and she needs a job.

it is really silly to do something like that. have they never heard of children dying in conditions like this. she prob didnt take the child with her because someone people can be prejudiced about hiring people with kids they may think that if they have to bring their kid along to look for a job how will they manage when they get a job. They should have left their kid with a friend

utterly ridiculus . how could this be possible . a mother leaving her own child inside car? the poor child copuld be left in a crush or play schoool . why in a car ? criminals get created due to these actions. cops should punish her with loneliness

oh my goodness that is crazy! good thing the child survived! if it would have been any hotter i'm sure the child will be harmed. i would never leave my daughter in a hot car that long. heck i wouldnt even leave my daughter alone in the car! that was really a bad move and sorry but i agree that she should be charged for something. cheers and happy myLotting!
