Since you have the time to time her while she's away from the car, Why don't you ask her if she'd like for you to stay at the car and watch her sleeping baby while she runs in to grab her kid? That would probably be the best way to help out a fellow parent who appears to be juggling conpeting schedules for her kids.

OP, you could learn a lot from this poster and 00:27, who both came at this situation from a compassionate, helpful angle.

Too bad you are too self-absorbed to listen to them.

Are you really suggesting that I coordinate my daily schedule with this women so I can stand by her car for two extra minutes every day?

You're missing the point. You immediately think about how you can get this woman in trouble (timing her? Really?). A good person, like the PPs, would ask first how they can help this woman. Shame on you.

You're missing the point. I'm not timing her to get her in trouble. I'm timing her to make sure the baby isn't alone in a car for an unreasonable amount of time. And I'm not trying to "get her in trouble". Please grow up. I'm trying to gauge whether this behavior is sufficiently risky that I should raise it with her or have the center raise it with her. And I can't reorganize my life to make sure I coincide with her at daycare so I can stand by her car or check out her child (which would not even be permissible). So please stop obsessing about this-it's not going to happen.

That's right, I don't. If you had bothered to read further you will also see why I timed her and it was not to "get her in trouble". I have my own family to take care of. I'm interested in the welfare of the kid, not interested in becoming part of her village, nor is it realistic. I guess the question, since I have to spell it out for dense and obsessive people like yourself is GOING FORWARD should I raise it with her/the center. Since, as previously noted, I cannot time my entire life to meet her at daycare and stand by her car.

So standing by her car every day is the ONLY thing you can think of in the wide realm of things that might be helpful to the woman? There are no other positive ways to help, in the world according to OP? Think harder.

Everybody knows what you are saying, OP.

The extent of my help is going to be warning her of potentially risky and/or illegal behavior, or having the center do so.

[Anonymous]

Posters are way too harsh condemning OP ( and I am NOT the OP.)
Ignore the haters!!!

[Anonymous]

If you know the other parent and are comfortable saying something, do so. Otherwise, I'd say something to the center about it and ask that they keep it anonymous.

WTF is wrong with that woman? Who leaves their baby in a running car? At our daycare there's been a few instances of this and they take it very seriously. Tell the office. People can be so self-absorbed--not wanting to inconvenience themselves so putting their baby in a dangerous situation. Ridiculous.

[Anonymous]

I would call the cops.

[Anonymous]

Who are these posters?!? I am completely blown away.

Tell the center.

[Anonymous]

Tell the center director, absolutely.

Since you don't see this woman everyday (and maybe have not seen her before since you say you don't usually pick up at the same time) how do you know that there will be a problem going forward? Maybe she usually has her husband with her and didn't that day. If you are seeing her every day then your argument that you can't stand by her car for her falls apart. Which is it?

Also, is this street parking or a parking lot at a daycare center full of parents picking up. If the latter, I really don't see the problem. The car is running so there is no danger to the child from a hot car (there really wouldn't be for two minutes in a turned off car either, but that's beside the point because she's not doing it.). If this is a daycare parking lot in a low crime burb, is there really a danger here?
