if you saw someone leave their kid in the car (brief scenario such as previous post), would you:
a) wait to make sure the parent came out right away and give them a dirty look
b) wait and say something to them
c) wait and call the police
d) other
(I DD'd the original because I am paranoid about it getting back to the person.)
Re: so then...
I would do A, possibly B
I might do C, but I doubt it. If I was a mandatory reporter, I would though.
I would do A and possibly B if I knew them.
If I did know them, not sure I would do C. Now if they're going a restaurant and a not a gas station where they're obviously watching their kid while paying for gas, I might consider C.
I'm intrigued of course now that maybe I know this person as well.
Yikes, I guess I would talk to them . I have done a redbox with kids in car and i do leave my son as I pickup Sam from her in home daycare place but they bring her to the door so he is never out of my eye line and I never leave keys.
Leaving to use the bathroom would be waaaay to long and scary
Folks in Europe leave the carriage in he street while shopping , maybe they are not from here?
We saw this in Iceland, but the kid was never IN the carriage when it was parked outside the shop.
