Child Safety While Driving And Parking

Charges were just dropped against a mother who had left her child in the car sleeping while she and her two other daughters walked just feet away and donated money to the Salvation Army. It was cold and snowy outside and the mother had locked the car with the alarm on. I happen to agree, in this case, that the charges should have been dropped. But other cases, I am not so sure of.

There have been many others in the news just this past year alone that are much more disturbing. Remember the mother that went to work all day at the school and forgot her child was in the backseat for 8 hours? And the same with the couple, who just happened to be doctors, that were too busy with their own schedules to remember that neither one had dropped the baby off at daycare? How about the one where the father went into a strip club for hours and left his child in the car for hours? Everyone of them horrible, yet as far as I know, not one of them were prosecuted for their crimes.

It happens all too often. Parents I guess you can never be told enough that child safety while driving and parking is extremely important. Never leave your child alone in the car!
