The fact that he was left alone. The inmates are minimum security, so possibly white collar crimes. Not everyone in jail is a murderer or a pedophile.

Very true. I did not think of it that way.

I must ditto, although I understand the general stereotypes of prisons and prisoners. I am a huge advocate of prison reform, and many people would be beyond surprised to hear how many people are in prison for years for the silliest things. As a country, we imprision more people than any other country, and we do not have the largest population. It makes my heart hurt.

This was what I thought also. I think that the fact that the teenage daughter had to "leave suddenly" leaving a toddler alone is way worse than leaving him with minimum security prisoners. Besides, wouldn't there have been at least one security guard left with them as well?

I am going to have to say that the two year old was left alone is the scariest part of that situation.  I see that teenager being grounded for LIFE.
