Why leave the kid in the car at all? My kids go inside with me if the wife isn’t there wanting to stay in the car. Doesn’t matter if I’m going in a store for 2 minutes.
The crazy thing is that the news here in the Midwest tells people each year to put something important, like their phone, in the car seat to remember the kid.
Nobody INTENDS to leave their kid in the car to die.

I always assumed that was a notice to people stealing cars from the lot.
You know. Make sure the car with the keys wasn’t left running cuz the kid was sleeping.
Definitely don’t want the 3 kinds of hell for stealing a car with a kid in it. (Cops gonna totally blame you aren’t they PIT lil’ Tommy into the ditch.)

People on Lemmy can’t afford cars and are too frightened by intimacy to conceive any children
Kids are scary because they remind me of me and I can’t have another one of those bastards running around, muckin about
I thought that but they’re more like your best parts and a pure version of you that your parents didn’t fuck up yet
hashtag fuckcars
Lol maybe Reddit. Maybe. Lemmy is too niche, and most of the Linux nerds here are too autistic to breed
Yes they are. And if you think you’re better than these people and couldn’t forget and have a slip up you are wrong.

They’re actually right. In most cases people simply forget to put a window down or sometimes that the kid is in the car.
There’s also no need for ableist language like that.

It’s usually they haven’t slept for days and the kid is asleep in the back.
I saw one where they drove past their kids school and went to work.
No one plans to do this. It’s not hugely common but it does happen.
I was left at the supermarket once. These things happen. But sometimes the consequences are just much bigger.

We hope. Probably preaching to the choir, but even five minutes in 90+, it can get dangerously hot inside a car.
Also, even if it’s not, there’s other dangers. It’s all around just not cool.

It’s not.
Works both ways
