Can I leave my infant in the car alone to...,

It really is crazy. I have teens but it seems like every kid has some kind of mental health diagnosis and cannot deal with the smallest of challenge or hardship.

Even if it technically legal in your podunk state…don’t. Carjackings are on a major rise all over the country, in all demographics. Turning to use the atm - which was the og question- will have you distracted enough to not be supervising. Beyond that there are so many other things that can go wrong.



Lol are you closely supervising your sleeping baby while you are driving the car? And speaking of “so many things can go wrong”— that’s literally what driving in your car is, every time. So are things like leaving your baby in the care of others.

The truth is that something could always happen. Statistically, your child is more likely to be in a car accident than to be snatched from your car when you are standing a few feet away. They are more likely to fall off a piece of furniture or choke on food they grab off another child’s plate at daycare than to overheat in a car in a few minutes time. I’m really not sure why people are so fixated on this situation as so dangerous. Life is inherently dangerous, but we assess risk and find a way to figure it out. I think many people on this thread are being incredibly hypocritical here.


Yep, it’s just one of those things for whatever reason people have been told to worry about, so they do.
