Did you hear how many babies last year were randomly (not by the a biological parent)snatched from cars outside of stores in the USA? I’m thinking it’s zero. That would have been all over the news. For arguments sake, let’s say it was 10. Divide that by the number of babies in the USA and…it’s statistically pretty close to 0%.
79 degrees outside, windows down. Let’s call it 84 in the car (with the windows down, this is close). Why aren’t you people demanding the arrest of parents without air conditioning in the 5-story walk-up apartment every summer? 90 deg is not uncommon in those apartments. Oh yeah, and that little baby sleeping at the park in his stroller (under the immediate supervision of his mother) and it’s warmer than 79 degrees out. Lock her up to! And if she goes to push her other kid on a swing…forgetaboutit.
So this sleeping baby was in mid-80′s heat for ten minutes. Don’t be irrational. Fret about things that ACTUALLY screw kids up. Like fatherless youths.

I’m sorry, but come on. Any parent whose never once left a child (a sleeping one at that) unattended in their car for a short period of time to pay for your gas, return books at the library, etc, raise your hand. I for one also was unaware that this was a crime. Unadvisable, yes, but a crime, no.
I know, I know, it was 79 degrees out. BFD. 79 degrees is not the same as 89 degrees. Cops were too tough on this guy. Name and picture in the paper, too? Man oh man. Give the guy a warning and give him a break. At least the guy actually is actually present in his kid’s life.
