Leaving Old People In Cars

There is a law around here that you are not suppose to leave the elderly in a car. It can be either in the winter or in the summer. The same thing goes with dogs. So I was thinking, to fix this. When ever you go someplace with your dog or old person, just bring both if you plan on leaving them in the car! Would solve the issue right?

Its amazing they think the elderly are helpless. The ones I know can always find a way to get what they want like waving their cane around the bus so it will lower itself. I guess the law would apply if the car was used for sick/helpless.

So Canada considers us old people to be as dependent on others as dogs do. It makes sense with animals, especially during very hot days, but most elderly would be able to open the car door.

We stayed with someone who was left in the car by her husband (after reporting it to the store so they could call security) The husband said she had Alzheimer's and it was too difficult to take her inside. What!?! So, she was in the car with the keys-and the car had been running, but she turned it off it seems.

The big problem is people leaving their babies and young children in the car. They are often dying in the heat, especially in the hotter states in the US. You can't bring your dog in a lot of places so it would be better off at home.

For me leaving anyone in the car is unacceptable

No, that would not solve it. A lifetime prison sentence for anyone leaving a dog, a child, or an oldie in the car would solve it. Or a bullet to the brain. I have no sympathy for people like that who would leave a living being to suffer in a car.
